Date:
April 22, 2025
Submitted By:
Gabrielle de Farcy, Management Analyst
Elizabeth Sorg, Assistant to the City Manager
Andrew Keys, Assistant City Manager
Department:
City Manager's Office
Recommendation:
Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider the Following Action: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving the Adoption of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, the 2025-2026 One-Year Action Plan, and an Amendment to the Citizen Participation Plan and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute and File All Documents Required to Receive U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding.
Background:
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is administered by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide funding to states, cities and counties to provide decent housing and a suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. CDBG funded activities must demonstrate that they meet one or more of the following CDBG National Objectives:
Low- and Moderate-Income Benefit - provides a benefit to low- and moderate- income persons;
Slum and/or Blight Benefit - Aids in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and Urgent Need - Addresses an unexpected need having a particular urgency (such as flood, fire, or earthquake).
Under the CDBG program, the City of Rocklin is an entitlement community and annually receives funding on a formula basis. To be eligible, the City must complete a Consolidated Plan every five years and an Action Plan on an annual basis. The Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive planning document that serves as a guide for the use of CDBG funding during the five-year plan period. Each year, the Annual Action Plan establishes the allocations and goals for the coming program year. To receive funding in a timely manner, the Consolidated Item Number PH1.
302
Plan and Annual Action Plan must be submitted to HUD at least 45 days before the start of the new program year, or no later than May 15, 2025.
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan
The five-year Consolidated Plan analyzes community needs, market conditions, and existing funding sources to develop strategies for the use of CDBG funds. Based on previous years' awards, it is estimated that the City will receive approximately $285,000 per year, or a total of $1,425,000 in CDBG funds over the five-year Consolidated Plan period. CDBG regulation limits the City to spending no more than 15% of annual funding for public services and no more than 20% for administration of the program.
The Consolidated Planning process included a number of outreach activities including but not limited to:
An online community needs survey from October 23, 2024 through December 5, 2024.
Virtual public community meetings held on November 5 and November 13, 2024.
An in-person community meeting held on December 5, 2024.
Consultations with local service providers and community stakeholders.
February 25, 2025 regular City Council meeting staff presentation and City Council discussion on the Consolidated Plan Priority Needs and Goals.
The City conducted a needs and priorities assessment through data analysis, consultation of partner plans, and community input. These different perspectives and inputs inform the prioritization strategy for the use of CDBG funds. This prioritization strategy is used in the Strategic Plan section of the Consolidated Plan where Priority Needs and Goals are identified.
All CDBG funded activities for years 2025 through 2029 must be consistent with the Priority Needs and Goals established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and comply with all HUD regulations governing the program. Recommended Priority Needs are as follows:
High Priority Needs
Services for low-and moderate-income youth, seniors, and those providing food and nutrition services.
Addressing housing instability.
Services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or trafficking.
Low Priority Needs
Homeowner housing rehabilitation.
Public infrastructure accessibility/safety.
Support economic opportunity.
In order to address these Priority Needs, the following Goals were recommended for the 2025- 2029 Consolidated Plan:

Update to Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
Concurrent with the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, an update the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) was completed to ensure it is reflective of actions taken by the City to further fair housing. This update can be found in Appendix A of the Consolidated Plan. In 2019 and 2020, Rocklin joined regional jurisdictions and agencies to create the Sac Valley Fair Housing Collaborative (SVFHC). The goal of the SVFHC is to take meaningful actions to overcome historic patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, and foster inclusive communities that are free from discrimination on a regional basis. The SVFHC developed a regional AI, the Sac Valley Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, which was adopted by the City Council on April 14, 2020. Although the City is no longer required to maintain a current AI, HUD still requires the City to certify that it will Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) when applying for CDBG funds each year. The City will continue to meet HUD requirements for Fair Housing as they are implemented.
Annual Action Plan
The 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan identifies the specific activities the City will undertake during the Program Year and subsequent Action Plans will be adopted for each respective year of the Consolidated Plan. As of the date of this report, HUD has not announced allocations for 2025, but recent allocations have been approximately $285,000 per year.
A Notice of Funding Availability for solicitation of proposals from service providers for Program Year 2025-2026 was published in the Placer Herald and on the City's website and sent via email to the Placer Collaborative Network (PCN), Placer Consortium on Homelessness (PCOH) and individual organizations. The City received applications for 2025-2026 CDBG funding from December 13, 2024 through January 24, 2025. Proposals were received from Compassion Planet, KidsFirst, Salvation Army, Seniors First, St Vincent de Paul, Stand Up Placer, The Gathering Inn, and Upwards. No more than 15% of the current year award or an estimated $42,750 can be expended on public services during the plan year. The application from Upwards, a for-profit company, for a business support and technical assistance program for in-home childcare providers, applied as an economic development activity, which would not be subject to the Public Services cap. The following are brief descriptions of the applications received and staff recommendation:
304
Compassion Planet requested $25,000 for their Mentoring Program, which provides on- the-job training and workforce development. They have not been funded with CDBG in prior years. Staff determined that the program was ineligible as proposed per HUD regulations, and therefore does not recommend funding in 2025-2026.
KidsFirst requested $30,000 for emergency housing/shelter and utility support. Staff recommends that their funding be approved as part of the City’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 Operating Budget and funded as an eligible Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing activity from Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund.
Salvation Army requested $25,000 for their Homeless Prevention Program which provides rent and deposit assistance. Staff recommends that their funding be approved as part of the City’s FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and funded as an eligible Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing activity from Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund.
Seniors First requested $15,000 in grant funding for the Senior Nutrition Program, Meals on Wheels. They were funded $14,263.75 for their Senior Nutrition program last year.
Staff recommends funding approximately $12,450 from CDBG in 2025-2026 in order to evenly distribute the Public Services cap between other service providers by percentage of request.
St Vincent de Paul requested $16,500 in funds for their Food BAGS Home Delivery program to Rocklin seniors and the disabled. They were funded $14,263.75 for their Food BAGS Home Delivery program last year. Staff recommends funding approximately $13,700 from CDBG in 2025-2026 in order to evenly distribute the Public Services cap between other service providers by percentage of request.
Stand Up Placer requested $20,000 in grant funding for program year 2025-2026 for their Victims Services Program. They were funded $14,263.75 for Victim Services last year. Staff recommends funding approximately $16,600 from CDBG in 2025-2026 in order to evenly distribute the Public Services cap between other service providers by percentage of request.
The Gathering Inn (TGI) requested $10,000 to support a contract with Whole Wellness Therapy, providing individual and group therapy at TGI locations for Rocklin individuals.
In order to provide impactful funding amounts to established Public Service activities that provide direct services and are subject to the 15% cap, staff does not recommend CDBG funding for TGI in 2025-2026.
Upwards, a for-profit business, requested $40,000 for their Boost Program to provide specialized business support and technical assistance to in-home childcare providers.
Staff determined that funding this program would involve a significant amount of staff oversight, and the program would be subject to additional federal requirements.
Technical support to childcare providers was also not identified as a priority need or goal, and therefore staff does not recommend CDBG funding in 2025-2026.
On February 28, 2025, drafts of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan were made available for a 30-day public review period. The draft documents were made available at City Hall, at the Rocklin Public Library, and on the City's website. In addition, the notice was emailed to various service providers and through dissemination by the Placer Collaborative Network (PCN) and Placer Consortium on Homelessness (PCOH). The deadline for comments on the draft documents was March 30, 2025. The City received no comments during the public comment period. The following activities and estimated allocations were reflected in the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan published for public review and are recommended for approval:

HUD has not yet published CDBG allocations for the current federal fiscal year; therefore, staff have estimated the allocation to be the same as last program year. The Final Annual Action Plan will be revised prior to submittal to reflect the actual amount as well as proportional changes to proposed funding in all categories, when the allocation amount becomes available.
Agreements with all subrecipients will specify that Rocklin funds must be utilized to assist Rocklin residents.
The City Council may direct staff to add or remove programs and/or projects or to adjust proposed funding allocations in the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan within program limits for specific activities.
Amendment to the Citizen Participation Plan
A proposed amendment to the CDBG Program Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) is also included for adoption by the City Council. The CPP was updated to remove specific language in reference the HUD Wavers issued in 2020 and reset back to standard HUD requirements.
Other changes are minor in nature including updating language for clarity and to meet current regulations and references. The draft CPP was available for public review from February 28 through March 30, 2025. The City received no comments. Following adoption of the CPP Amendment, staff will submit to HUD.
Fiscal Impact:
Processing of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan is necessary in order for the City to receive CDBG Entitlement Funds from HUD, and the estimated $285,000 to be received for the 2025-2026 Program Year will be included in the City’s proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget. Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Funds (Fund 270) are available for use in the City’s proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget to
306
fund KidsFirst and the Salvation Army programs totaling $55,000 as identified in this report.

2025-2029 Consolidated Plan
Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Rocklin (City) receives an annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As a requirement of the funding, HUD requires local jurisdictions to develop a Consolidated Plan every five years. The 2025 Consolidated Plan addresses needs, resources, and planned activities for the peri od of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2029. The City of Rocklin has adopted a July to June program year.
The Consolidated Plan consists of the following sections:
• The Process - describes the consultation and citizen participation process undertaken to collect information from residents and stakeholders regarding community conditions and needs. • The Needs Assessment - analyzes needs related to affordable housing, special needs housing, community development, and homelessness.
• The Market Analysis - examines de mographics, the supply of affordable units, the regional housing and labor markets, and other conditions that impact community needs and the programs that address these needs.
• The Strategic Plan - identifies specific goals for each jurisdiction based on th e highest priority needs informed by the Needs Assessment, Market Analysis, and extensive consultation with community groups and citizens.
The plan includes the first fiscal year (2025 -2026) Annual Action Plan for the City of Rocklin, which describes the p lanned investment of federal resources to implement specific activities that address Consolidated Plan identified needs and strategic goals.
Related to the Consolidated Plan, HUD requires the City to affirmatively further fair housing for residents. This starts with an assessment of barriers to fair housing choice. In 2020, the City participated in a regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) to encourage meaningful actions to overcome historic patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, and foster inclusive communities that are free from discrimination. The plan includes an update to the AI in Appendix A.
Federal regulations require that at least 70% of CDBG funds be used for projects that primarily benefit persons under the HUD Low- and Moderate-Income limit defined as persons from households at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). For most jurisdictions, projects serving an area with 51% or more low and moderate-income (LMI) residents may be eligible for CDBG funding on an Area Benefit basis using census data. An exception is allowed for communities with few or no qualifying areas. The City of Rocklin was determined to be an Exception Grantee for program year 2024 (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025). Projects serving census tracts and block groups with 41.5% or more LMI residents may 314
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 2
qualify for Area Benefit. Exception Grantee status may change each year, depending on HUD income estimate calculations.
2024 Eligible Census Tracts:

213.23 2 60.20%
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The goal of HUD’s CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities and to provide a benefit to low- and moderate-income persons. HUD’s housing and community development programs are guided by three CDBG National Objectives:
● Create suitable living environments;
● Provide decent housing; and
● Create economic opportunities.
CDBG funded activities must demonstrate that they meet one or more of the following CDBG National Objectives:
● Low- and Moderate-Income Benefit - provides a benefit to low- and moderate- income (LMI) persons;
● Slum and/or Blight Benefit - Aids in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and/or 315
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 3
● Urgent Need - Addresses an unexpected need having a particular urgency (such as flood, fire, or earthquake).
The CDBG program operates under income limits established annually by HUD. CDBG funded activities must primarily benefit low- and moderate-income households defined as persons from households at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI), adjusted for family size. The City of Rocklin is a part of the Sacramento-Roseville-Arden-Arcade, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the CDBG program uses HUD’s Sacramento-Roseville-Arden-Arcade income limits to determine project eligibility.
The Consolidated Plan serves the following three functions:
● Provides a planning document for the City of Rocklin which is built upon a participatory process; ● Serves as the application for federal funds under HUD’s CDBG formula grant program; and ● Offers a strategy to follow when carrying out CDBG programs.
The City identified the following priority needs and goals. Descriptions of the needs and goals can be found in the Strategic Plan section.
High Priority Needs
● Provide services for low- and moderate-income youth, seniors and those providing food and nutrition services.
● Address housing instability.
● Provide services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault or trafficking.
Low Priority Needs
● Provide homeowner housing rehabilitation assistance.
● Improve public infrastructure accessibility and safety. ● Support economic opportunity for low- and moderate-income business owners and job seekers.
3. Evaluation of past performance
The City of Rocklin 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan set goals for the use of CDBG funds for affordable housing, homelessness and non-housing community development activities that were based on citizen participation comments and analysis of data in the Plan. Over the first four years of the five-year Consolidated Plan (July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2024), the City’s available funding consisted of $1,148,559 in new CDBG funding (entitlement funds); $18,491 in unexpended funds from previous years. The City did not receive any CDBG program income received from previous years’ activities.
On September 22, 2020 the City adopted a substantial amendment to the 2020 Annual Action Plan to allow the use of Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funding to prevent, prepare for and respond to the effects of COVID-19 on individuals, families and businesses.
The City completed the fourth year of the five-year 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan on June 30, 2024. The following is a brief summary of key accomplishments achieved during the first four years of the 2020– 2024 Consolidated Plan period.

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The citizen participation process was initiated with a Community Needs Survey available online from October 23, 2024 through December 5, 2024. The survey was promoted on the City’s website and social media; and through emails to interested stakeholders, the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County CoC; and was announced during the public community meetings. A summary of the survey results is included in Appendix B.
The 2025-2029 consolidated planning process included coordination and consultation with a diverse
group of residents and stakeholders in and around the City of Rocklin. Stakeholders included nonprofit organizations, affordable housing providers, service providers, government agencies, and advocacy organizations, all of whom work with low- and moderate-income members of the community. The City provided notice to adjacent jurisdictions by email on October 30, 2024. Jurisdictions notified included the County of Placer and the cities of Auburn, Colfax, Lincoln, Loomis, and Roseville.
During the current planning cycle, the City consulted with eighteen organizations, including:
317
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 5
● Service providers that address the needs of low- and moderate-income households and populations with special needs including adults with disabilities; persons experiencing homelessness; victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or trafficking; or seniors; ● Agencies serving persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness; ● Affordable housing providers;
● Housing advocates;
● Public agencies;
● Economic development and employment organizations; and ● Community and neighborhood groups.
The public and interested stakeholders were invited to participate in three Public Community Meetings held on November 5, 2024 at 8:30 a.m., November 13, 2024 at 5:30 p.m., and on December 5, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. Notices of the meeting were published as follows:

5. Summary of public comments
Community Needs Survey
The City received 13 responses to the Community Needs Survey. Although the limited number of responses cannot be considered statistically significant, participants all reported as Rocklin residents.
The survey is a valuable reflection of their opinions regarding needs in the community. Composition of residents and stakeholders participating in the Community Needs Survey was:
● 100.0% of respondents reported they were Rocklin residents and 11.1% of those individuals were also service providers serving a low- and moderate-income clientele. ● 75% were adults under the age of 62 and 12.5% were over 62. ● 12.5% were from female headed households.
When asked to rank activities that would have the most significant impact in the community, the top four responses received were (three-way tie for second place):
1. Community services
2. Affordable housing
Infrastructure Improvements for lower-income Neighborhoods Neighborhood Improvement Programs
Respondents were asked to rank the severity of need for CDBG eligible activities within various categories of activity types. Response selections were: Great Need, Some Needs, Little Need, or No Need. Out of 36 activities, the following were the 10 highest ranked needs for low- and moderate- income residents and neighborhoods in Rocklin.
Highest ranking:
● Development of childcare centers
● Employment training for low- and moderate-income persons.
Next highest ranked activities

Community Meetings
During the November 5 and November 13, 2024 Public Community Meetings, poll questions asked of attendees and discussion during the meeting indicated that lower-income Rocklin residents would benefit from additional affordable housing options, services for youth and seniors, nutrition services and economic development activities that would result in increased job opportunities.
Consultations with Service Providers
Local providers of services targeted to low- and moderate-income individuals and families and those with special needs participated in the planning process. Providers participated in the Community Meetings, the Community Needs Survey, and completed provider questionnaires. Providers noted that one of the largest barriers to housing stability in Rocklin is the discrepancy between income and housing costs. They identified the following as significant needs for vulnerable Rocklin residents: homeless prevention services, emergency shelter, housing navigation services, more affordable permanent housing or rental assistance, case management, more Permanent Supportive Housing, social services and mental health services to maintain housing stability.

Narrative
The Office of the City Manager of the City of Rocklin serves as the lead agency for administering HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and implementing the Consolidated Plan.
As of 2023, the U.S. Census estimates that the City of Rocklin has a population of 73,472 people comprising 24,630 separate households. The City is located at the base of the Sierra Foothills just off Interstate 80 in Placer County, approximately 22 miles from Sacramento and approximately 100 miles from either Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, or Napa Valley. Rocklin is intersected by Interstate 80 (a heavily traveled freeway for both commerce and travelers) and Highway 65 (largely serving commuter and regional traffic). A major east-west rail line operated by Union Pacific runs through Rocklin, and the Rocklin train depot is served by Amtrak for regional, statewide, and interstate service. The City has the charm of small-town living, offering attractive amenities and opportunities to its community.
Since 2010, Rocklin’s population has grown from 56,974 residents to 73,472 in 2023. Rocklin experienced the largest overall percent change in population of any Placer County jurisdiction between 2010 and 2020, with a population increase of approximately 23% over this period, as compared to the 16% population growth for Placer County as a whole. Most of Rocklin’s population growth since 2000 can be attributed to annexation and subsequent development of the Northwest Rocklin Annexation Area and ongoing development in the Whitney Oaks, Stanford Ranch, Sunset West, and Southeast Rocklin areas.
Rocklin offers a mix of housing types, including single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, condominium developments, and mobile homes. According to the California Department of Finance, of the 25,945 units in the City as of January 2020, 76% were single-family homes, 22% were multifamily units, and 2% were mobile homes.
According to the 2024 Apartment Survey, conducted by the City, there are 40 apartment complexes in Rocklin providing a total of 5,503 housing units. Seven of those projects (897 units) are senior housing.
Three projects contain both assisted living and independent living units.

1. Introduction
The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan process included coordination and consultation with a diverse group of residents and stakeholders in and around the City of Rocklin. Stakeholders included nonprofit organizations, affordable housing providers, service providers, government agencies, and advocacy organizations, all of whom work with low- and moderate-income members of the community. Outreach efforts are summarized in the Executive Summary and Citizen Participation sections of this report.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).
The City has developed relationships with private for-profit developers and non-profit housing developers. During the planning cycle, the City consulted with service providers and organizations serving low- and moderate-income Rocklin residents, including:
● Service providers that address the needs of low- and moderate-income households as well as targeted populations such as persons with special needs or disabilities; ● Affordable housing providers;
● Housing advocates;
● Housing professionals;
● Public agencies (such as school districts, health services, and public works); ● Economic development and employment organizations; and ● Community and neighborhood groups.
The City sent notices of the Consolidated Plan development process to organizations by email. The City also contacted organizations by email and/or phone to issue invitations to meetings and encourage survey responses. Specific agencies were contacted directly to obtain data in preparation of this Consolidated Plan. For example, the City coordinated with both the Placer County Housing Authority and the Roseville Housing Authority to obtain information on public housing and Housing Choice Vouchers available to residents. Rocklin contacted various governmental health, mental health, and service organizations that operate within Placer County during development of the plan.
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 Rocklin works with and supports the Placer Consortium on Homelessness (PCH) as well as the Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS) to address the needs of local residents experiencing homelessness. HRCS is a nonprofit organization serving as the "collaborative applicant" and 322
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 10
“administrative entity” for two Continuums of Care (CoCs). These are the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County CoC (CA-515) and the Nevada County CoC (CA-531). HRCS is governed by a seven-member board with representation from each of the continuums of care.
The City supports programs providing assistance to persons at risk of or experiencing homelessness. In addition to making CDBG public service funds available to these organizations, the City expends Low- and Moderate- Income Housing Asset Funds for Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing annually. Additionally, the City of Rocklin has a seat on the governing board of the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County CoC (CA-515). This City board member helps shape the funding and policy decisions of the CoC and facilitates information sharing between the two agencies.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City of Rocklin does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds from HUD. However, a City staff member is appointed to the Governing Board of the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County CoC (CA-515) which is responsible for developing performance standards, evaluating outcomes, or developing funding, policies or procedures for the administration of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Additionally, City management staff are members of the Local Government Advisory Committee, which is an official subcommittee of the CA-515. In this subcommittee, City staff consult with HRCS and the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County CoC regarding issues or policies related to persons experiencing or at-risk of homelessness.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment examines needs related to affordable housing, special needs housing, community development, and homelessness for Rocklin low- and moderate-income residents and neighborhoods. The Needs Assessment includes the following sections:
● Housing Needs Assessment
● Disproportionately Greater Need
● Public Housing
● Homeless Needs Assessment
● Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment
● Non-Housing Community Development Needs
The Needs Assessment identifies those needs with the highest priorities that form the basis for the Strategic Plan and will guide the selection of programs and projects to be funded during the five-year Consolidated Plan period.
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data is used to demonstrate the number of households in need of housing assistance. The HUD CHAS data set is a special tabulation of 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS) data from the U.S. Census Bureau. This special tabulation data provides counts of the numbers of households with housing problems that fit certain combinations of HUD-specified criteria and HUD-defined income limits. Since the CHAS requires the Census Bureau to further calculate estimated housing problems at a micro level, CHAS data often lags behind more recent ACS data. Responses to the questions below will focus on Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) persons, which HUD defines as persons in households that are at or below 80% of the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI).
The City has supplemented the CHAS data through the use of more current data to provide context around growth and economic hardships experienced by City residents in recent years. The 2021-2029 City of Rocklin Housing Element provides data for the Needs Assessment. Qualitative data was gained from a consultation process that involved an online survey, public workshops, and individual stakeholder conversations. Other data sources are noted throughout the plan.
The CHAS/ACS data noted in the following tables focuses largely on households experiencing a housing problem. HUD defines “housing problems” as:
● Units lacking complete kitchen facilities;
● Units lacking complete plumbing facilities;
345
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 33
● Overcrowding - units housing more than one person per room, not including bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half-rooms (also known as Overcrowding); or ● Housing Cost Burden - households paying more than 30% of household income towards housing costs (for renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities, and for owners, housing costs include mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and utilities).
HUD considers the following as “Severe Housing Problems”:
● Units lacking complete kitchen facilities;
● Units lacking complete plumbing facilities;
● Severe Overcrowding - units housing more than 1.5 persons per room; or ● Severed Housing Cost Burden – households paying more than 50% of the household income towards housing costs.
NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
Tables 5 through 21 below reflect data from the HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS). The CHAS estimates the number of low- and moderate-income households with housing problems. The CHAS is based on custom tabulations from the 2016-2020 U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS), combined with the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI) limits.
Households at or below 80% of HAMFI are referred to as Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI). CDBG funded activities must primarily benefit persons from LMI households.
The CHAS assumes that households self-reporting zero or negative income and paying rent in the ACS have housing cost burdens, while households paying no cash rent are assumed to be without cost burdens.

Table 12 – Crowding Information – 2/2
Describe the number and type of single-person households in need of housing assistance.
The U.S. Census 2018-2022 ACS 5-Year data estimates that there are a total of 24,360 households in the City of Rocklin, of which 5,006 (21%) are single-person households (householder living alone). The majority of single-person householders are female (63%) and 56% are age 65 or older.
Using the data in Tables 7 and 8 above, it is estimated that a minimum of 1,187 single-person households are living with a Housing Problem and 1,756 have a Severe Housing Problem. The data in Table 7 demonstrates that the most significant housing problem for LMI households (at or below 80% AMI) is Housing Cost Burden. Renters are more likely to be affected than homeowners. Cost burden is the most significant housing problem affecting lower-income homeowners as well. Table 6 indicates that households with at least one elderly member comprise over half of households living at or below the Very Low-Income (VLI) limit at or below 50% AMI.
Of the 156 households on the Placer County Housing Authority waiting list for assistance, 102 are single person households (66%). The Roseville Housing Authority has 175 households on the waiting list, of which 72 are single person households (41%). Roseville Housing Authority reports that the majority of voucher holders are single-member households or households that qualify for a 1-bedroom voucher.
They note that while more affordable housing is needed for all types of households, there is a significant need for small affordable units.
The data indicates that there is a significant need for rental assistance for single-person renter households and that elderly single-person households are at highest risk of housing instability due to Housing Cost Burden.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Persons Living with a Disability
The 2018-2022 ACS 5-Year data estimates 6,710 persons with a disability living in Rocklin, which accounts for 9% of the population.
● 368 individuals under age 18
● 3,118 individuals age 18-64
● 3,224 individuals age 65 and older
350
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 38
Placer County Housing Authority reports that 111 households on the waiting list for rental assistance include a disabled adult member (72%). The Roseville Housing Authority waiting list has 46 (26%) disabled households on the waiting list.
The Salvation Army estimates 15-20% of clients have a physical or mental disability, prohibiting them from living independently or securing housing on their own. AMI Housing is an affordable housing provider working primarily with persons with a mental health diagnosis. However, they also work with low-income families with children, persons with disabilities; elderly households; victims/survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and/or stalking; and youth transitioning out of foster care. AMI Housing estimates 1,936 households in Placer County include a person with a disability and are in need of assistance to remain stably housed. Assistance may be case management, resource brokerage, locating appropriate housing, application fees, holding deposits, security deposits, rental assistance, utility deposits, household furnishings, or services to maintain housing long term.
Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking Stand Up Placer is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to empowering Placer County survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking to heal from the trauma and create new lives of strength and self-sufficiency. The organization serves nearly 4,000 victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking and sex trafficking and their children annually, with a household estimate of approximately 2,000. Families range from individuals, including transition-aged youth and seniors, to families with one or many children, and a few with both children and dependent adults, including disabled adult children and grandparents. While every family does not need housing, approximately 75% of families fleeing are either already homeless or have been made so by their choice to flee the violence. Stand Up Placer estimates that there are 200 families of survivors in Rocklin, of which approximately 150 are in need of housing assistance.
AMI Housing (AMIH) is a Placer County housing provider working with persons who identify as victims of domestic and/or dating violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and/or stalking. AMIH estimates approximately 1,355 households in need of services countywide. This number is a rough approximation as many do not self-report victim status. The Gathering Inn, a homeless services provider in Placer County, is currently serving 5 Rocklin victims. The Gathering Inn notes that to achieve housing stability, these households need rental assistance (including first and last month's rent, deposit, and move in kits), case management, Permanent Supportive Housing, Homeless Prevention, and Document Collection assistance.
Persons fleeing domestic violence, dating violence or stalking and persons that have been sexually assaulted typically need assistance with emergency shelter, locating appropriate permanent housing, application fees and security deposits. To establish and restart their lives in a safe environment, families may also need ongoing rental assistance, household furnishings, case management, and social services to maintain housing long term.
What are the most common housing problems?
Housing Cost Burden is by far the most common housing problem in the City of Rocklin for both renter and homeowner households. Table 7 indicates that of households at or below 80% AMI, 4,689 reported 351
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 39
a Housing Problem, and of that number 4,415 (68% of LMI households) were cost burdened. This equates to 19% of all Rocklin households.
Compared to cost burdened LMI households, the share of LMI households living in substandard housing (1%) or in overcrowded situations (3%) is relatively low. However, there are a total of 75 households living in substandard housing and 2,339 in overcrowded housing that would benefit from assistance to improve their housing or reduce the cost of locating more suitable housing.
The Salvation Army reports that Rocklin clients are struggling with increasing costs of living, such as rent and utility bills. Some households continue to struggle with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trying to keep up with their bills. Many families lost their employment during the pandemic and have yet to return to work. They are surviving off government assistance programs such as CalFresh and cash aid.
These fixed-income families applying for affordable housing encounter waitlists that surpass one year.
The high costs of living coupled with lack of affordable options leaves low-income families facing housing cost burden problems. Service providers indicate that insufficient income to qualify with property managers, coupled with poor credit/rental history makes it very difficult to move from homelessness or shelter into a more permanent housing situation.
Volunteers of America (VOA), one of the nation’s oldest and largest developers of affordable housing, provides safe shelter for nearly 20,000 seniors, veterans, and families in need each year. VOA of Northern California and Northern Nevada is dedicated to helping those in need rebuild their lives and reach their full potential. They are active in Placer County offering emergency shelter, transitional housing, affordable housing, senior services, veteran services and employment services. They often work with persons exiting homelessness, persons with disabilities, veterans, the elderly and survivors of domestic violence. VOA staff note that the disparity between income and rent, along with rental credit requirements, severely impacts clients’ ability to secure housing.
KidsFirst is an organization devoted to the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. They note that housing costs often are a significant source of stress for families with children.
The Latino Leadership Council emphasized that in the last few years, they have seen a greater need for basic needs due to the rising costs of housing, food, and transportation which have greatly impacted many families. For many, the primary focus is maintaining housing stability. The Latino Leadership Council states that their undocumented clients have the most difficulty locating housing. Many of these clients are unable to find landlords willing to lease or rent housing to them. Many of these families find short-term housing by doubling up with other familial or community members. These families often find themselves in unsanitary or unsafe environments by renting out a living room or bedroom for the whole family.
Stand Up Placer also identifies the high cost of rent and lack of affordable housing as an impact to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. They note that the limited number of housing vouchers and the extremely long waiting list is a barrier. Some clients do not have sufficient income to afford market rate housing, but have an income that is too high for assistance programs.
Additional reported barriers are evictions and poor credit resulting from their abuse, income less than three times the rent, and sometimes soft discrimination due to racial or ethnic status.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? 352

Elderly LMI households are most significantly impacted by the cost of rent, mortgage and utilities. Over 50% of Extremely-Low and Very Low-income households in Rocklin include at least one person age 62 or older. Housing Cost Burden affects 44% of elderly renters and 29% of elderly homeowners. These are often small related households which is also reflected in the 18% of small related renter households and 9% of small related homeowner households with housing cost burden.
Service providers report that single parents, elderly, disabled adults and transitional age youth struggle more consistently with housing issues. Many of them live off one income, or a fixed income of SSI/SSDI and government benefits. Transitional age youth are aging out of the foster care system or leaving their parent’s home for the first time and are not prepared to secure the employment needed to live comfortably. Households with language barriers also encounter housing problems and require culturally appropriate assistance.
The Latino Leadership Council (LLC) notes that 100% of their clients are low-income. They have found that Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) populations, larger households, and undocumented families have a higher chance of having a more difficult time finding affordable, accessible, and safe housing within Sacramento and Placer County. LLC works mainly with families at risk of homelessness, food insecurity, and often needing monetary help to pay for basic needs such as clothing, shoes, utilities, rent, and food. Families and individuals who struggle to find stable housing will commonly live in garages or other like structures, creating more safety concerns.
Stand Up Placer notes that single person households, especially individuals whose children are grown but are too young to qualify for elderly housing assistance, tend to fall into gaps in services or are placed at a lower priority for services. Large families with five or six children often cannot find apartments or homes large enough for their families that are affordable. Large apartments (3-4 bedrooms) are scarce.
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance
Many of the Salvation Army food pantry clients are homeless or nearing homelessness. Of this homeless and at-risk clientele, most suffer from severe substance use or mental health conditions requiring treatment. Most do not have health insurance, leaving them without treatment and/or medication needed in order for them to achieve housing stability. Salvation Army financial assistance programs are limited to one-time assistance for rent, deposit or utility bills. After families are assisted, they must search for other agencies to assist with either remaining costs or subsequent monthly bills.
Rapid Rehousing assistance is available from Advocates for Mentally Ill Housing (AMIH) but only for security deposit and one month of rent. Rapid Rehousing through the CalWorks Housing Support Program (HSP) provides six months of assistance and gradually decreases each month. Most families that have gone through the HSP program have attained housing and have sustained housing due to the support team provided while in the program. The Gathering Inn reports that their clients receiving HSP 353
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 41
services over the last two years have done well upon the termination of assistance. The Gathering Inn finds that families that lose their housing situation and return are often those with a parent returning to addiction and/or domestic violence. Lack of a safety plan or savings to deal with emergencies also can contribute to a return to homelessness. Successful Rapid Rehousing relies on forming connections with local social services, community support, and services or experiences that may reduce the feeling of isolation. Learning money management skills and how to control monthly expenses also is a key indicator of success.
The Latino Leadership Council notes that many BIPOC families struggle to maintain stable housing and are living in homes with over five to ten people at one time, creating an increase in unsafe conditions and an increase in the incidence of abuse, whether it be mental or physical. Formerly homeless families have a more challenging time finding stable employment. Without stable employment, many landlords refuse to lease to these clients as they see them at higher risk, and many of these clients lose their homes or have their utilities cut off. They note that clients often have to choose between one basic need or another; a roof over their heads, food on their plates, clean clothes or a safe environment to sleep.
Housing stability is crucial for families with children. Experiencing homelessness at any age is traumatic but experiencing it as a youth is proven to instigate a variety of potential long-term impacts such as behavioral problems, academic issues, difficulty with emotional regulation, an increase in anxiety and depression, increased risk of risky behaviors, increased risk of chronic health conditions, and lack of safety or trust in general. The National Coalition for the Homeless explains that families experiencing homelessness move frequently and every time a child must change schools, his or her education is disrupted. The organization notes that some studies report that children lose 3-6 months of education with every move. According to the National Center for Homeless Education, students experiencing homelessness are chronically absent at a rate that is at least double that of the overall student population. The report concludes with the following statement, “What homeless children need most of all is a home.”
Many families that are unhoused have difficulty accessing safe places to sleep. They may be sleeping in vehicles, staying at an emergency shelter, or spending an unsustainable amount of household income to live in a hotel room without proper food storage or cooking facilities and in some cases may be in proximity to unsafe individuals. Larger families need more space, and income often falls short of paying for housing that avoids overcrowding.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:
Data on the homeless population in Placer County is tracked through the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), a federally mandated online data system for programs dedicated to serving persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and homeless prevention programs that receive funding as a HUD approved Continuum of Care (CoC). The HMIS collects data on the provision of housing and services to homeless individuals and families, and persons at risk of homelessness. In Placer County, the HMIS is maintained by the Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS). HUD considers households paying more than 50% of income towards housing costs to be unsustainable and at risk of 354
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 42
losing their housing. Information received from service providers working with persons experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations is noted in the section above.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Extremely low-income households that are severely cost-burdened (paying more than 50 percent of their income for rent) are most susceptible to becoming homeless. Other populations disproportionately at risk of becoming homeless are victims of domestic violence, persons that experience generational homelessness, persons with substance use issues, those with severe mental health or chronic physical health problems, and people exiting incarceration. Victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking frequently have serious mental health or substance use disorders, or criminal histories as a result of victimization have an increased risk as well.
Service providers working with at-risk and homeless households often see the return of former clients.
For some, housing instability can be a cycle that is hard to break. Long-term follow up and case management is needed to help reduce recidivism. The transition from being unhoused to housed, especially for long-term, chronically homeless clients, can be isolating and jarring. Persons going through this transition have shared feelings about losing their sense of community and the stress of being bound by a lease, laws, and tenant responsibilities. Providing a space for support, questions, and connection is important, as well as case management to assist with ongoing questions and to provide a framework for being a successful tenant.
An aging population will result in seniors with special needs related to reduction in income, lifestyle changes, and declining mobility and self-care capability. Seniors on fixed incomes or limited retirement savings may need financial assistance for housing rehabilitation, accessibility improvements or supportive services to retain independence in their homes.
Discussion
The City is dedicated to fostering housing stability for the most vulnerable populations by working closely with organizations serving lower-income families and individuals to address housing cost burden.
The City of Rocklin Strategic Plan prioritizes the safety, health and well-being of the community. The City partners with nonprofits, social service agencies, and the community to address the root causes of crime and social instability.
NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
According to HUD, a disproportionately greater need exists when the members of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a greater rate than the general population 355
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 43
at that same income level. HUD looks at four factors as indicators of housing needs: lacking a complete kitchen; lacking complete plumbing facilities; more than one person per room (or 1.5 persons for “severe” impact); and/or a housing cost burden greater than 30% of household income (or greater than 50% for “severe” impact).
The 2020 U.S. Census ACS estimates that racial composition of Rocklin households is:
● 64.4% White (46,146 households)
● 11.7% Black/African American (1,194 households)
● 0.4% American Indian/Alaskan Native (295 households)
● 11.7% Asian (8,354 households)
● 0.3% Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander (192 households) ● 7.1% are of two or more races (5,064 households)
● 13.9% of Rocklin residents identify as Hispanic or Latino (9,944 households) Analysis in sections NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems, NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems, NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need:

Discussion
The HUD CHAS data does not include households reporting as being of “two or more races”, which does not allow for income level comparison for this ACS race category. In addition, the very small percentages of Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander results in a higher margin of error.
Households at all income levels and all race and ethnicities are affected by the four HUD housing problems. However, there are populations with a significantly higher rate of occurrence of one or more housing problems than others at their same income level. As noted above, the small percentages of Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander may result in a higher margin of error for these races.
The data indicates that Moderate-Income households experience housing problems significantly less than households at the Extremely Low-, Very Low- and Low-Income levels. There is a disproportionate impact on Non-White race households at the lower-income levels.

Introduction
HUD generally defines a “disproportionate need” as any need for a certain race or ethnicity that is more than ten percentage points above the need demonstrated for the total households within the jurisdiction at a particular income level. The tables below indicate the share of households by race and ethnicity that reported experiencing severe housing problems by income level, according to the 2016- 2020 CHAS as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.
According to the 2020 ACS, only 0.4% of the total population in Rocklin is American Indian/ Alaskan Native and .3% is Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander. Given the low share of these populations, the estimates from the ACS and CHAS datasets for specific income levels may include relatively large margins of error.

Discussion
Very few Moderate-Income households (7%) experience severe housing problems compared to households at the Extremely Low-, Very Low- and Low-Income levels (59%, 59% and 28%, respectively).
Hispanic Extremely Low-, Very Low- and Low-Income household experience severe housing problems at a disproportionately higher rate than non-Hispanic White households at the same income levels (56% and 44% respectively. Non-White race households at the Extremely Low-, Very Low- and Low-Income levels experience severe housing problems at a higher rate than White households, but the variance is slightly less than the 10% difference that HUD considers to be significant (44% and 52%, respectively).

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction:
HUD considers households paying more than 30% of their income towards housing costs to be experiencing a housing cost burden. Those paying in excess of 50% of household income are considered to be severely cost burdened. Severe cost burden is a significant factor leading to housing instability and an increased risk of homelessness. In Rocklin, 34% of households meet the HUD definition of cost burdened and 14% are severely cost burdened.
The 2020 U.S. Census ACS estimates that racial composition of Rocklin households is:
● 64.4% White (46,146 households)
● 11.7% Black/African American (1,194 households)
● 0.4% American Indian/Alaskan Native (295 households)
● 11.7% Asian (8,354 households)
● 0.3% Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander (192 households) ● 7.1% are of two or more races (5,064 households)
● 13.9% of Rocklin residents identify as Hispanic or Latino (9,944 households) The HUD CHAS data in the tables below does not include households reporting as being of two or more races. This may affect direct comparison with the ACS percentages noted above. In addition, the very small percentages of Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander results in a higher margin of error.
The analysis below identifies a significant disparity as experiencing housing cost burden at a rate that is 10% more than other races or ethnicity. There is also a comparison of White Non-Hispanic (64.4% of the population) versus all other races and Hispanic households (28%) which may be considered to have a reduced margin of error.

White, Asian, and Hispanic households experience housing cost burden at approximately the same rate as the total population. American Indian/Alaskan Natives and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders experience housing cost burden at a significantly higher rate than other races. White and Non-White households are affected by housing cost burden at a similar rate.
NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion – 91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole?
Analysis of the data included in sections NA-15, NA-20 and NA 25 reveal that there are racial and ethnic groups that encounter housing problems at a higher rate than the Rocklin population as a whole.
However, the relatively small number of Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander households may result in a higher margin of error for these races.
By far, the most significant problem is housing cost burden. Housing cost burden affects all races and ethnicities at the Extremely Low-, Very Low- and Low-Income levels. The data suggests that American Indian/Alaskan Natives and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders experience housing cost burden at a significantly higher rate than other races.
A significant percentage of Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander Extremely Low-Income households report having one or more housing problems and severe housing problems at a higher rate than other races.
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? Housing needs are noted above with housing cost burden being the most common, and most severe need. HUD defines and affordable housing cost as no more than 30% of household income.
Approximately 34% of Rocklin households pay more than 30% of household income toward housing costs. HUD considers households paying in excess of 50% of household income toward housing costs to be experiencing a severe housing cost burden. In Rocklin, 14% of households report paying more than half of their income towards housing costs which can lead to housing instability and becoming at risk of homelessness. The stock of affordable housing in Rocklin is not sufficient to meet the needs of many lower-income households.
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?

The City of Rocklin is served by two housing authorities, the Roseville Housing Authority and the Placer County Housing Authority. There are no public housing units located in Rocklin, however the housing authorities administer the HUD funded Housing Choice Voucher program. Housing Choice Vouchers extend rental subsidies to Extremely Low- and Very Low- Income households, including families, seniors and the disabled. The program offers a voucher that pays the difference between the Payment Standard (usually based on a percentage of the current HUD fair market rent amount) and what a tenant can afford to pay (30% of household income). The voucher allows a tenant to choose housing that costs above the payment standard, providing the tenant pays the extra cost.
There are currently 395 Rocklin households assisted through the HUD Housing Choice Voucher Program. The Roseville Housing Authority provides assistance to 284 families and the Placer Housing Authority assists 111. The need for rental assistance far outweighs the amount of assistance available. Combined, the housing authorities currently have 331 households on their waiting lists in need of assistance. The City of Rocklin 2021-2029 Housing Element includes an objective to provide housing authority referrals to households in need of housing assistance and to encourage property owners to accept Housing Choice Voucher assistance.
Tables 22 through 25 provide combined information from both housing authorities serving the City of Rocklin.

2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 58
Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:
The Roseville Housing Authority and the Placer County Housing Authority do not own or operate any public housing units and therefore do not keep a waiting list for accessible units. However, they do administer the Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance program. The housing authorities act in accordance with federal regulations as they relate to persons with disabilities, up to and including a fair, thorough, and accessible reasonable accommodations request process. Private owners participating in the voucher program are expected to understand and comply with all federal, state, and local laws as they relate to nondiscrimination and accessibility for persons with disabilities.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large There are no public housing units in Rocklin.
To qualify for the Housing Choice Voucher program, applicants must be very low-income (at or below 50% of AMI). As indicated by the average income information above, the vast majority of new admissions to the program are extremely low-income families (at or below 30% of AMI). Families at this income level have difficulty meeting their basic needs even with the assistance of the voucher program.
Housing Authority staff are well-versed in available resources and frequently refer voucher holders to other community organizations. In addition, both the Placer County and the Roseville Housing Authority offer the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program to help voucher holders augment their education, find employment, build assets, and achieve economic independence.
Many voucher holder families have a disabled family member or are elderly households. These households may have an increased need for accessibility of housing and public spaces to accommodate wheelchairs and other physical disabilities, need for meals on wheels or other meal services, or may need for transportation services to maintain an independent living situation.
Discussion
Based on the extended waiting lists of the two housing authorities, it is evident that additional rental assistance and affordable housing units are needed for extremely low- and very low-income Rocklin residents.
The Placer Housing Authority and the Roseville Housing Authority administer Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers. HUD-VASH is a collaborative program that pairs HUD Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance with Veterans Affairs case management and supportive services.
These services are designed to help homeless Veterans and their families obtain permanent housing and access the health care, mental health treatment, and other supports necessary to help them improve their quality of life and maintain housing over time.
The housing authorities also administer Mainstream Vouchers that are dedicated to households with a member who is 18-61 years and that has a disability. The disabled household member must be 371
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 59
transitioning out of institutional or segregated settings, at serious risk of institutionalization, homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless.
Family Unification Program (FUP) Vouchers are for families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent placement of the family’s child or children in out-of-home care, or the delay in the discharge of the child or children to the family from out-of-home care. Youths who have left foster care and are between 18 and 24 years of age may also use FUP Vouchers. 372
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 60
NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:
There are many ways of defining homelessness and there are many differing aspects of homelessness. This section of the Consolidated Plan uses the following HUD definitions:
HUD uses the term “Literally Homeless” to define an individual or family that lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. The term “homeless” in this plan refers to persons meeting the Literally Homeless definition. This includes:
● Persons with a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not meant for human habitation. ● Persons living in a publicly or privately operated shelter designated to provide temporary living arrangements (including congregate shelters, transitional housing, and hotels and motels paid for by charitable organizations or by federal, state and local government programs); and
● Persons exiting an institution where they have resided for 90 days or less and who resided in an emergency shelter or place not meant for human habitation immediately before entering that institution.
HUD also uses the following terms to describe the type of homelessness a person or family is experiencing:
● At Imminent Risk of Homelessness - an individual or family that will imminently lose their primary night-time residence within 14 days and no subsequent residents has been identified, and that lacks the resources to gain permanent housing. ● Chronically Homeless - persons with a disabling condition or a family with a head of household that has a disabling condition, and the individual or family has been either continually homeless for one year or more and/or has experienced four or more episodes of homelessness within the past three years.
● Unsheltered Homeless - persons living outside, in cars, or other places not meant for human habitation. ● Sheltered Homeless - persons living in emergency shelters, motels paid for by an agency, or transitional housing.
Not included in this definition, and in the homeless count data listed below, are households temporarily living with family or friends (doubled up or couch surfing), households living in permanent supportive housing or receiving Rapid Rehousing assistance, and those in institutions (jails, foster care, or hospitals).
The Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS) is a nonprofit organization serving as the "collaborative applicant" and “administrative entity” for two Continuums of Care (CoCs) including the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County CoC (CA-515). HRCS promotes a community-wide 373
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 61
commitment to the goal of ending homelessness. The CoC is a broad-based coalition of homeless housing and shelter providers, consumers, advocates, and government representatives working together to develop strategies and approaches for addressing homelessness. As the Administrative Entity for the CoC, HRCS acts as a pass-through or clearinghouse of federal and state homeless funding sources and maintains data regarding persons experiencing homelessness in Placer County. This data is tracked through the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), a federally mandated online data system for all dedicated homeless and homeless prevention programs that receive funding as a HUD approved Continuum of Care (CoC). The HMIS collects data on the provision of housing and services to homeless individuals and families, and persons at risk of homelessness.
HRCS also leads the HUD required Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count and annual Housing Inventory Count (HIC). Although HUD requires completion of a PIT Count every other year, HRCS conducts an annual count. It should be noted that while the PIT Count provides useful data for comparisons over time, the PIT only identifies the number of persons experiencing homelessness on a single night. Over the period of a year, many individuals and families will cycle in and out of homelessness. The total number of persons experiencing homelessness over a one-year period will be much greater than the number reported for the one night of the PIT Count. Per HUD direction, the PIT is conducted during the last 10 days of January. The 2024 PIT Count reports that the number of persons experiencing homelessness in Placer County decreased from 750 in 2022 to 702 in 2024, a reduction of 6%. Unsheltered homelessness decreased from 408 to 366 (-10%) over the same period. The 2024 PIT identified a total of 39 persons experiencing homelessness in the City of Rocklin, of which 32 were unsheltered and 7 were sheltered.
While the total number of homeless decreased, the number of chronically homeless in Placer County increased slightly from 256 to 261 (2%) over the past two years. However, the number of chronically homeless that were unsheltered decreased from 158 to 141 (-11%) over the same period.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans.
The 2024 Placer County PIT Count identified two Rocklin families with children. Both were living unsheltered. Neither family agreed to participate in a survey so there is no data available relating to their specific situations or their needs.
The PIT Count found 45 Homeless Veterans in Placer County, of which two were living in Rocklin. They both stated they had only recently become homeless and did not meet the HUD definition of Chronically Homeless. Both were single men without families, were long-time residents of Placer County and both were unsheltered.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
Due to the small numbers of homeless persons in the City of Rocklin, there may be a significant margin of error when looking at racial and ethnic groups. In general, most persons experiencing homelessness in Rocklin are White and Non-Hispanic, with Black and Non-Hispanic being the second largest group.
Black and Non-Hispanic individuals are more likely to experience Unsheltered Homelessness than other racial or ethnic groups.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
The seven Sheltered individuals noted in the PIT Count reside in units operated by AMI Housing (AMIH).
AMIH provides housing and services for persons at imminent risk of or experiencing homelessness.
Most of their clients have a mental illness or other debilitating disabilities. AMIH estimates 1,936 377
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 65
households in Placer County include a person with a disability and are in need of assistance to remain stably housed.
The majority of Homeless individuals in Rocklin are living Unsheltered. To move towards housing stability, these individuals and families may require case management; housing navigation (assistance with locating appropriate housing); financial assistance for application fees, deposits, security deposits, monthly rental assistance and utility deposits; household furnishings; food; transportation; mental or physical health treatment; substance use treatment; or other services.
Discussion:
Agencies providing services to persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness indicate that the primary barrier to housing security for vulnerable households in Placer County is the high cost of rent and lack of affordable housing. The following issues were identified as additional barriers:
● Insufficient income for households living on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
● Shortage of housing assistance vouchers and subsidized housing. ● Limited housing options for persons with disabilities. ● Need for permanent supportive housing for persons that need case management or services to maintain housing stability.
● Generational homelessness (experienced homelessness with parents). ● Need for more treatment and/or assistance for persons with mental health issues, substance use disorder, or developmental disability.
● Limited services and housing that meets the needs of persons with chronic health conditions and/or disabilities.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:
There are many individuals in need of special housing types such as supportive housing, group homes, or other alternative housing opportunities matched with services to enable them to live independently and avoid homelessness or institutionalization. These individuals include the elderly; persons with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities; persons with HIV/AIDS; victims of domestic violence; children leaving group homes or aging out of foster care; agricultural workers; and persons under the influence of substance use. The following is a brief analysis of the needs of these subpopulations. The facilities and services available to these subpopulations are discussed in greater detail in the Housing Market Analysis section of this Plan.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
Elderly
According to the 2022 ACS, there were 4,254 elderly persons living in Rocklin, defined as those over the age of 65. Of those individuals, 1,688 were over the age of 75. Households with at least one elderly member comprise over half of Rocklin households living at or below the Very Low-Income (VLI) limit at or below 50% AMI. The Placer County 2024 Homeless Point-in-Time Count found 37 individuals aged 65 and older living unsheltered on the night of January 23, 2024.
Frail Elderly
Frail elderly is defined as an elderly person who requires assistance with three or more activities of daily living, such as bathing, walking, and performing light housework. According to the 2022 ACS, there were 1,480 elderly Rocklin residents who are likely considered frail because they are age 65 or older and have a disability. Service providers identify the need for assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL), appropriate housing, and senior housing units.
Adults with Disabilities
The 2023 5-year ACS estimates a total of 7,235 Rocklin residents are living with a disability. The American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) defines IDD as a condition characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior that originates before the age of 22.
The Placer County Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) provides assistance to persons with a disability of all ages. The HHS Full-Service Partnership (FSP) program provides intensive services to individuals with a serious mental illness. A review of FSP data from 2020 revealed that 42 FSP participants were aged 60 years or older, one of whom was homeless, and one was homeless but sheltered.
379
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 67
Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking
Domestic violence is emotionally, physically, and financially devastating for victims and their families.
Stand Up Placer estimates that there are 200 families of survivors in Rocklin and approximately 75% of families fleeing are already homeless or have been made so by their choice to flee the violence.
Agricultural Workers
The research article Employment and Earnings of California Farmworkers in 2015 by U.C. Davis and the California Employment Development Department identified approximately 1,500 agricultural workers whose highest earning job the previous year was located in Placer County.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
Elderly
Elderly households may have an increasing need for accessibility of housing and public spaces to accommodate wheelchairs and other physical disabilities, need for meals on wheels or other meal services, and need for transportation services.
Rising housing costs compounded by insufficient retirement income, illness, or job loss can quickly result in homelessness for low-income seniors. Housing stability for these households relies on the availability of affordable housing, preferably housing that accommodates the needs of residents as they age.
Frail Elderly
The needs of the frail elderly include those of the elderly listed above, in addition to other services such as in-home aids or living situations that provide medical support.
Adults with Disabilities
The Agency on Aging Area 4 (AAA4) serves aging adults (60+), adults with disabilities, and the people who care for them in seven counties: Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba. AAA4 oversees in-house programs as well as contracts with about 30 different organizations to provide services for older adults and caregivers in the seven-county region. Service providers emphasize the need for Permanent Supportive Housing, landlord incentives, assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL), case management, appropriate housing, dedicated housing units, and senior housing units.
Rocklin residents with IDD are served by the Alta California Regional Center located in Sacramento, CA.
They may struggle with conceptual skills such as language and literacy; money, time, and number concepts; and self-direction or with social skills including interpersonal skills, social responsibility, self- esteem, gullibility, and the ability to follow rules or obey laws and to avoid being victimized. Practical skills can also be a challenge. Activities of daily living (personal care), occupational skills, healthcare, travel or transportation, schedules and routines, safety, use of money, use of the telephone can be difficult for some individuals.
Alta Regional demonstrates that early intervention, appropriate education and support as an adult allows individuals with IDD to live a satisfying, meaningful, productive, independent, and integrated life 380
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 68
in the community. However, parents with children that are approaching adulthood with a developmental disability report that appropriate housing settings are scarce and difficult to find. They voice concern that they are aging and are concerned about what would happen to their adult disabled children if they die or become unable to care for their children. They are asking for more housing coupled with supportive services providing independence for persons with developmental disabilities.
Additional beds are needed in group homes for those who are more severely disabled.
The HHS Full-Service Partnership (FSP) program provides intensive services to individuals with a serious mental illness. Services include crisis residential treatment and rent subsidies. Additional permanent supportive housing for persons with mental health issues is needed to foster housing stability.
Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking Stand Up Placer is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to empowering Placer County survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking to heal from the trauma and create new lives of strength and self-sufficiency. They note that approximately 75% of families fleeing are already homeless or have been made so by their choice to flee the violence. Stand Up Placer estimates that there are 200 families of survivors in Rocklin, of which approximately 150 are in need of housing assistance. Most will need mental health services. Many leave without basic necessities such as clothing and will need furniture and household goods to start over in a new home.
Agricultural Workers
Most Agricultural workers find it difficult to secure full-time employment throughout the year, which limits earning potential. The 2023 ACS identifies the median income for agricultural work as $37,276, which is 33% of the median Placer County income of $113,900. Agricultural workers seeking housing in Rocklin need highly subsidized units affordable to extremely low-income households.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
Persons living with HIV or AIDS often are at risk of losing their housing due to increased medical costs or due to limited income or reduced ability to keep working due to illness. Stable housing allows persons living with HIV/AIDS treatment to access comprehensive healthcare and adhere to complex HIV/AIDS drug therapies.
The Sacramento/Roseville/Arden Arcade Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) covers the counties of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo. The California HIV Surveillance Report published on February 8, 2024 by the State of California Department of Public Health states that in 2022, there were 5,877 persons living with diagnosed HIV infection within the MSA. Of those individuals, 4,605 were in care and 4,048 had achieved viral suppression. The HIV.gov website defines viral suppression and explains that viral suppression helps to keep persons diagnosed with HIV healthy and prevents transmission. It means that an individual’s viral load is so low that it cannot be detected by standard lab tests.
The report does not provide more detailed information by MSA or by county. However, it does provide information on disparities of impact for the State of California. Among racial and ethnic groups, Black/African Americans were found to be the most disproportionately affected by HIV. Infection rates are higher and the percentage of persons achieving viral suppression is lower than all other racial or 381
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 69
ethnic groups. The report notes that Latinx also have proportionately higher rates of HIV diagnoses and lower viral suppression than the general population.
If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2) (ii))
The City of Rocklin is not a Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) for the receipt of HOME funding from HUD.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:
Although there are Public Facilities needs in the City of Rocklin, they were not determined to be a priority during the 2025-2029 planning period.
How were these needs determined?
The City conducted a community needs survey, three public meetings, consultations with service providers and held a discussion with the City Council of the City of Rocklin. Comments received from these outreach efforts were combined with analysis of CHAS and other available data, reports and plans to determine the need for public facilities in the City of Rocklin.
Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements:
The City has identified barriers to pedestrian safety and accessibility located in census tracts and census block groups that are eligible for CDBG funding based on the percentage of low- and moderate-income residents.
How were these needs determined?

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Rocklin, CA, offers a variety of housing options catering to different preferences and budgets. You can find single-family homes ranging from modest, mid-century houses to contemporary, upscale residences in newer developments. The city also features a selection of townhomes and condominiums, offering more compact living spaces often equipped with modern amenities suitable for young professionals or those seeking lower maintenance options. Additionally, there are rental apartments, appealing to those not ready to buy, with choices from budget-friendly complexes to luxury units. The housing landscape is complemented by family-friendly neighborhoods with parks and schools, as well as retirement communities that often provide amenities and services tailored to active seniors.
Analysis of housing trends in the United States as well as local real estate market reports from Zillow, Redfin, California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors showed Rocklin, CA, experienced notable fluctuations from 2020 to 2024. The median sales price started at $662,000 in 2020, then decreased slightly to $629,000 in 2021. This was followed by an increase in 2022, with the median price reaching $637,200 as buyers were drawn to Rocklin's appealing community and its proximity to larger metropolitan areas. By 2023, the market peaked with a median price of $820,000, driven by local economic conditions and broader national trends in real estate appreciation. However, by October 2024, the market experienced an adjustment, with the median price decreasing to $747,444.
This correction could be attributed to factors such as changes in interest rates, a balance between supply and demand, or broader economic conditions impacting buyer capacity. Overall, this period reflects a dynamic and resilient housing market, adapting to both local and macroeconomic pressures.
Since 2020, Rocklin, CA, has seen considerable housing development aimed at accommodating its growing population and evolving market demands. The city has focused on expanding residential areas, with new single-family home communities and mixed-use developments emerging. Projects often include features like parks, trails, and community centers to enhance livability. These developments reflect a mix of high-density housing like townhomes and condos, catering to diverse demographics including young professionals and retirees seeking lower maintenance living. Additionally, some developments are part of master-planned communities, emphasizing sustainability, modern amenities, and integration with Rocklin’s scenic environment. The city has been balancing growth by maintaining its community-oriented charm, ensuring infrastructure and schools progress alongside residential expansions.
The housing rental market in Rocklin, CA, has evolved over recent years, driven by factors such as population growth, economic shifts, and changing housing preferences. With its desirable location near Sacramento and quality local amenities, Rocklin attracts a diverse range of renters, from young professionals to families and retirees. The rental options include a variety of choices from apartments and townhomes to single-family houses, accommodating different lifestyle needs. 384
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 72
As home prices have risen, renting has emerged as an appealing and often essential choice for many residents who wish to experience Rocklin's community advantages without committing to homeownership. This heightened demand for rental housing has influenced the median rental prices.
The rental market was quite volatile in 2023, experiencing some rapid increases in rental rates, but it became more stable in 2024. Despite this stabilization, rental rates remain elevated due to the low supply compared to the high demand.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
In Rocklin, CA, the increasing population and economic growth have led to a heightened demand for diverse housing options. There is a notable need for affordable housing to accommodate lower- and middle-income families, as well as young professionals and seniors. Additionally, more multifamily units, such as apartments and town homes, are sought after to provide alternative living arrangements and reduce the pressure on single-family homes, reflecting the trend towards modern, compact living environments. Ensuring that housing developments incorporate affordable options while maintaining community amenities and accessibility will be crucial in addressing the evolving housing needs in Rocklin.
The city has recognized the pressing need for affordable housing solutions. For instance, the Vicara at Whitney Ranch project has provided 264 low-income condominiums with 2 and 3-bedroom units, ensuring affordability through resale restrictions that last for 30 years. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to address the housing affordability crisis in the region.
In addition to affordable options, there is a national growing interest in multifamily units such as apartments and townhomes. These types of housing are increasingly sought after as they offer alternative living arrangements that can alleviate the pressure on single-family homes. This shift reflects a broader trend towards modern, compact living environments, which are particularly appealing to younger demographics and those looking for more flexible housing solutions.
As Rocklin continues to develop, it is crucial that new housing projects incorporate affordable options while also maintaining essential community amenities and ensuring accessibility. This approach will be vital in meeting the evolving housing needs of the community and fostering a diverse and inclusive environment for all residents.
In summary, addressing the housing demands in Rocklin requires a multifaceted strategy that includes the development of affordable housing, the promotion of multifamily living options, and the integration of community resources to support a growing and diverse population.

How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Rocklin has seen .773% increase in population since 2020 and it is projected to increase over the next five years. Demographics studies and local planning initiatives indicate a steady growth trend due to factors such as its attractive quality of life, proximity to Sacramento and economic development. This increase in population will in turn lead to increased need for housing. As the City is already showing a housing shortfall of approximately 3,016 units, housing shortfall of approximately 2,234 units, this increased need will lead to increased cost of housing. These increases impact both homeownership and the rental market.
While specific projections for housing cost increases in Rocklin, CA, can vary based on market conditions, historical trends, and economic factors, experts generally anticipate moderate increases in home prices over the next five years. Factors such as demand for housing, interest rates, and local economic growth will influence these costs. Typically, annual increases in California housing markets range from 3% to 5%, but in competitive areas like Rocklin, it could be higher.
How do HOME Rents / Fair Market Rents compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
The current rental landscape in Rocklin, with the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment at $1,800 to $2,000, contrasted with the HOME High rent limit of $1,418 and a projected fair market rent of $1,777 for 2025, underscores a significant affordability gap. This disparity highlights the urgent need for strategies aimed at producing or preserving affordable housing. The City has implemented initiatives like increasing funding for affordable housing projects to meet the needs of low-income households, implementing inclusionary housing policies that require a percentage of new developments to be affordable, and leveraging public-private partnerships to create more low-income units. Understanding these metrics ensures that strategies are underpinned by data, addressing both current and anticipated housing needs and enabling better alignment with federal, state, and local resources.
Discussion:
Rocklin, CA, is experiencing population growth and economic development, driving an increased demand for diverse housing options, particularly affordable housing for lower- and middle-income families, young professionals, and seniors. With a 0.773% population increase since 2020 and projections for continued growth, the city faces a housing shortfall of approximately 3,016 units, which is likely to escalate housing costs for both ownership and rentals. The median rent for a one-bedroom apartment ranges from $1,800 to $2,000, significantly above the HOME High rent limit of $1,418 and the projected fair market rent of $1,777 for 2025, indicating a critical affordability gap. To address these challenges, the city may consider strategies such as increasing funding for affordable housing, implementing inclusionary housing policies, and exploring community land trusts or rent stabilization measures. Tailoring these initiatives based on local data will be essential in meeting the evolving housing needs of Rocklin and ensuring alignment with available resources.
Community resources typically encompass a wide range of services including education, childcare, healthcare services, housing and social services, transportation, economic resources, safety and legal services, community cents, faith-based organizations, and other community groups that provide social support.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing
Introduction
The age of housing is a crucial indicator of a community's housing quality and condition. Without proper and regular maintenance, homes can deteriorate over time, which may discourage reinvestment, lower neighboring property values, and adversely affect residents' quality of life. Therefore, maintaining and enhancing housing quality is a key objective for the City. It is commonly understood in the housing industry that buildings typically start to show signs of wear and require reinvestment after 30 years, while homes older than 50 years often need major renovations if not adequately maintained.
Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":
A housing unit in "standard condition" is a residence that meets the basic health, safety, and living standards expected for satisfactory occupancy. This generally includes essential structural integrity, functional electrical and plumbing systems, adequate heating and insulation, as well as compliance with local building codes and regulations. It should be free from significant defects, such as major leaks, pest infestations, or hazardous materials like lead-based paint. The interior and exterior should be in a state that does not require immediate major repairs or pose health risks to occupants. Overall, a "standard condition" housing unit provides a reasonably safe, comfortable, and habitable living environment.
Housing conditions are often assessed against the HUD Section 8 housing quality standards. Units that do not meet one or more of these standards are considered substandard but potentially suitable for rehabilitation. When evaluating housing issues within a city's stock, it is essential to consider several factors, including whether a unit lacks full plumbing or kitchen facilities, has more than one occupant per room, or imposes a cost burden exceeding thirty percent (30%) of a household's income.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
There is a pressing need for housing rehabilitation for both owners and renters, as a significant number of units are facing serious conditions that affect livability and affordability. Specifically, 3,945 owner- occupied units are impacted by issues such as incomplete kitchen or plumbing facilities, overcrowding with more than one person per bedroom, and cost burdens exceeding 30% of the area median income (AMI). Similarly, 3,590 renter units exhibit at least one of these concerning conditions. Among these, 35 owner-occupied units and 250 rental units are affected by two or more issues, while 15 owner-occupied and 25 renter units face three or more overlapping problems. This multifaceted need for rehabilitation not only highlights the urgency for improved infrastructure and living conditions but also underscores the pressing economic challenges faced by these households in maintaining stable and healthy living environment.

2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 82
Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low- or Moderate-Income Families with LBP Hazards
Lead-based paint (LBP) was banned for residential use in 1979 because of discovered hazardous health conditions that may be caused by inhalation or direct touching of lead-based paint. The health effects are significant for children if exposed, potentially causing life-long impairments.
Data from the 2016-2020 CHAS estimates that twenty-one percent (21%) of owner and twenty-nine percent (29%) of renter units built before 1980 are occupied by households with children. This equates to 873 households.
To estimate the number of household units occupied by low- or moderate-income families with LBP hazards, the assumption can be made that housing units by year built are distributed evenly across all income levels. As such, using the household counts in the Needs Assessment, the share of low-income households (0-50 percent AMI) with children under the age of six in Rocklin is 7 percent (403 low- income households divided by 5,116 total households with children under 6). The share of moderate- income households (50-80 percent AMI) is 9 percent (470 low-income households divided by 5,116 total households with children under 6).
Given these shares and the assumption stated above, it can be estimated that of the 873 households with children at risk for lead-based paint hazards (built before 1980), approximately 403 (7 percent of 873) are occupied by low-income households, and approximately 470 (9 percent of 873) are occupied by moderate-income households.
Discussion
The City of Rocklin's housing stock appears to be relatively mature, with a significant portion of the homes built between 1980 and 1999, suggesting they are over two decades old. Most of the housing stock tends to be in good condition with forty-nine percent (49%) of housing units not reporting any issues, although forty-seven percent of housing units do report at least one issue such as incomplete kitchen or plumbing facilities, overcrowding with more than one person per bedroom, and cost burdens exceeding 30% of the area median income (AMI) indicating there may be a need for a housing rehabilitation program that could assist low-to-moderate income residents.
With twenty-nine percent (29%) of the housing potentially having lead-based paint conditions, remediation efforts may be necessary. Overall, while Rocklin likely has substantial and possibly well- maintained housing, some of it may also need upgrades for modern safety standards. 395

MA-25 Public and Assisted Housing – 91.210(b)
Introduction:
Rocklin is served by both the Roseville Housing Authority and Placer County Housing Authority. Placer County is the default Housing Authority and Roseville Housing Authority provides supplemental services through a Reimbursement Agreement. The housing authorities do not operate any public housing in Rocklin but administer tenant and project-based voucher programs.
Assisted Housing
A total of 1,097 assisted rental units are provided within 13 developments, including units assisted through a variety of federal programs. These programs include HUD Section 8 (project-based) Section 236 (mortgage subsidy), Section 202 (mortgage subsidy), Section 515 (rural rental housing and rural cooperative housing), tax credits, bonds, and redevelopment set-aside funds.
Covenants and deed restrictions are the typical mechanisms used to maintain the affordability of publicly assisted housing, ensuring that these units are available to lower and moderate-income households in the long term. Over time, the City may face the risk of losing some of its affordable units due to the expiration of covenants and deed restrictions. As the relatively tight housing market continues to put upward pressure on market rents, property owners are more inclined to discontinue public subsidies and convert the assisted units to market-rate housing. No projects are at risk for losing their affordability prior to the end of this consolidated plan period.

In Rocklin, the supportive housing needs of special needs groups, such as the elderly, frail elderly, individuals with mental, physical, or developmental disabilities, those with alcohol or drug addictions, persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families, and public housing residents, are critical to ensuring stability and well-being. These groups often require accessible housing options that provide additional supports like medical care, counseling, addiction recovery services, and daily living assistance.
For individuals returning from mental and physical health institutions, the City of Rocklin facilitates their reintegration through coordinated programs and partnerships with local agencies. These programs focus on transitional housing options and ongoing support services tailored to each individual's needs. Mental health services, for instance, may offer continued therapy, medication management, and case management. Physical health support involves follow-up medical care and assistance with physical rehabilitation if necessary. Agencies coordinate with housing providers and community organizations to ensure a seamless process, promoting sustained recovery and reducing the risk of homelessness among those transitioning back into the community.
Below are some of the agencies located locally that assist with reintegration.
● Advocates for Mentally Ill Housing, Inc. (AMIH) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing housing and life skills programs to adults with mental illness in Placer County, thereby preventing homelessness.
● Placer Independent Resource Services (PIRS) functions as a non-profit independent living center, aiming to advocate for, empower, educate, and deliver services to individuals with disabilities, enabling them to make informed choices for independent living. ● Re-Entry, Inc. offers housing for men, women, and women with children, and provides outpatient counseling and residential treatment for men, initiating recovery in a secure, sober environment.
● Seniors First delivers programs and services in Placer County to help seniors remain safe, independent, and in their homes, with offerings like Meals on Wheels, transportation, home modifications, and housing placement assistance.
● The Sierra Foothills AIDS Foundation offers comprehensive services for people living with HIV/AIDS and their families, alongside public education and prevention efforts. They support 75 individuals within Placer County under their programs, despite significant placement challenges 403

due to financial constraints. The organization operates the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program as a sub-recipient of Sacramento's funds.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Advocates for Mentally Ill Housing, Inc. (AMIH) offers programs designed to support housing stability for adults with mental illness in Placer County who might otherwise experience homelessness. Their initiatives typically focus on providing safe, affordable, and supportive housing environments that cater to the unique needs of individuals with mental health conditions. The housing programs often include integrated life skills training to help residents manage daily living activities effectively, promoting greater self-sufficiency and independence. Additionally, AMIH may provide case management services to connect residents with essential community resources, mental health services, and support networks that further enhance their ability to maintain stable housing and improve their overall quality of life.
Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e)
Not applicable.
For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2))
The City of Rocklin acknowledges that providing permanent housing alongside supportive services is vital for meeting the needs of special populations in the community, allowing them to live independently and with dignity. To support these developments, the City will continue seeking optimal ways to assist the special needs population, including securing funding from state and federal sources such as grants and low-income housing tax credits.
Supportive services like case management, mental health care, and employment support into housing programs is a priority, ensuring that residents gain access to necessary resources for sustainable long- term housing stability. Furthermore, the City is committed to addressing the needs of non-homeless populations, focusing on the elderly, frail elderly, and disabled. Annual goals encompass preserving owner-occupied housing through minor rehabilitation, reducing energy costs via efficiency improvements, and enhancing safety with repairs. Public services will also be directed at meeting seniors’ basic needs, along with providing support for victims of domestic violence and human trafficking, mental health services, youth services, and removing accessibility barriers in public areas.
Robust community engagement and partnerships are fundamental to these initiatives, ensuring they are well-aligned with the diverse needs of residents.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Describe any negative effects of public policies on affordable housing and residential investment.
The City of Rocklin’s 2021-2029 Housing Element identified the following as possible impediments to affordable housing and residential investment.
Market Constraints
● Development Costs: Construction and land costs have been increasing exponentially year-over- year, making the development of affordable housing increasingly less profitable for developers. ● Interest Rates: Interest rates for construction loans have generally increased over the past five years, reflecting broader trends in monetary policy and economic conditions. ● Funding Regulations: Environmental regulations, coupled with the complex requirements for using State and Federal funds in affordable housing development, have made it more challenging to find qualified developers.
● High-Cost Foreclosed Homes: The high prices of foreclosed homes and those facing foreclosure are affecting the market significantly, as both higher-income households and those with lower or moderate incomes face foreclosure challenges. When these homes reenter the market, they are often priced beyond the affordability reach of many prospective buyers.
Government Constraints
Government constraints impacting housing development can include zoning regulations, which dictate land use and can limit the availability of land for new housing or restrict the types of housing that can be built. Permit approval processes can delay projects and increase costs for developers. High development fees and impact fees, often imposed to fund public services and infrastructure, can add significant expenses to housing development, making affordable housing projects less financially viable.
Additionally, building codes and environmental regulations, while essential for safety and sustainability, may increase complexity and costs, further constraining the pace and scope of new housing developments. These factors, combined with potential community opposition or restrictive growth policies, can collectively limit the availability and affordability of housing in Rocklin.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?
In Rocklin, the employment landscape is shaped by a diverse array of sectors, providing a comprehensive view of the local economy's major drivers. Leading the employment spectrum is the Education and Health Care Services sector, employing 4,363 individuals and providing essential services that support the community's well-being and educational needs. The Retail Trade sector follows closely, with 2,862 employees, reflecting the area's robust consumer activity and its importance as a local economic pillar. Arts, Entertainment, and Accommodations employ 2,703 individuals, underscoring Rocklin's vibrant cultural and hospitality offerings that attract both residents and visitors. The Professional, Scientific, and Management Services sector also makes a significant contribution, with 2,516 professionals supporting a range of business and technical services. The Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate sector, employing 2,023, highlights Rocklin's active financial and property markets.
Construction, with 1,766 workers, showcases ongoing growth and infrastructure development.
Manufacturing and Wholesale Trade provide employment for 1,175 and 1,073 workers, respectively, highlighting the role of production and distribution in the local economy. Other Services, including 409
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 97
personal and miscellaneous services, employ 899 individuals, while the Information and Transportation sectors employ 640 and 642 people, respectively, reflecting their specialized niches. Although smaller, the Agriculture, Mining, Oil, and Gas sector involves 217 employees, maintaining a link to traditional industries. Collectively, these sectors account for a total of 20,879 jobs, painting a picture of Rocklin's varied and dynamic employment environment.
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
Given Rocklin's total civilian labor force population of 33,265 and civilian employment figure of 31,740, the city faces specific workforce and infrastructure needs to address its economic dynamics. With an overall unemployment rate of 4.64%, and notably higher unemployment among the 16-24 age group at
9.83%, there is a need for targeted job training and employment programs focusing on youth and young adults, helping them develop skills relevant to local industries. This could include apprenticeships, internships, and vocational training linked directly to the major employment sectors within the region.
Additionally, the relatively low unemployment rate for ages 25-65 at 3.09% suggests the importance of continuous skill development and career advancement opportunities to maintain job market competitiveness.
In terms of infrastructure, to support a growing and dynamic workforce, Rocklin may benefit from investments in transportation systems to enhance accessibility and connectivity across employment centers. This includes improving public transit options and road networks to reduce commute times and facilitate easier access to jobs. Expansion of digital infrastructure, such as high-speed internet, is crucial as more businesses and services move online, and remote work grows in prominence. Furthermore, localized investments in affordable housing are essential to ensure that workers can live within a reasonable distance from their workplaces, supporting economic stability and growth.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted planned public and private sector investments in Rocklin, impacting job and business growth opportunities. Many projects experienced delays or cancellations due to the economic uncertainty and restrictions imposed to curb the virus spread. For instance, construction slowed as labor shortages and supply chain disruptions made it challenging to maintain project timelines and budgets. Retail, hospitality, and entertainment sectors faced substantial setbacks from decreased consumer spending and mandated closures, leading to temporary or permanent business shutdowns.
These disruptions highlight several emerging needs for Rocklin during the planning period. Workforce development programs are crucial to re-skill and up-skill workers displaced by the pandemic, particularly in adapting to new industry demands and technological advancements. There is also a need for robust business support services, such as access to capital, mentorship, and digital transformation resources, to help small and medium-sized enterprises recover and thrive in a post-pandemic economy. Lastly, investments in infrastructure, particularly in enhancing broadband connectivity, are necessary to support remote work and digital commerce, ensuring that both individuals and businesses can capitalize on emerging opportunities and remain competitive in a rapidly changing economic landscape. 410
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 98
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The skills and educational attainment of Rocklin’s workforce generally align with the available employment opportunities, although some areas reveal mismatches or opportunities for further development. The high number of workers in management, business, and financial occupations (11,135) and those with a bachelor's degree or higher (13,860) suggest a well-educated workforce suited for Professional, Scientific, and Management Services (2,516) and Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate jobs (2,023). However, there may be slightly more workers with high academic qualifications than positions available in these sectors, potentially resulting in underemployment or a need for expanded business services or entrepreneurial opportunities.
Conversely, the service occupations (2,975) align well with the workforce in the Arts, Entertainment, and Accommodations (2,703) and Retail Trade (2,862) sectors, where lower educational requirements are prevalent. The 6,870 individuals in sales and office roles also reflect the strong retail and service sector presence. However, the discrepancy between education levels, like the number of individuals with some college or an associate degree (8,320) and the limited high-skill job offerings in manufacturing (1,175) and information (640)—indicates a potential for skills mismatch, where more technical roles could be developed.
Additionally, there is a shortage of labor in construction, extraction, maintenance, and repair compared to the workforce available (1,766 positions vs. 1,575 individuals), pointing to a potential need for additional training or vocational programs.
Overall, further aligning workforce development initiatives by emphasizing technical, trade skills, and support for advanced education in emerging sectors could enhance employment prospects across various vocational aims. Addressing this through targeted education and skills training, particularly in digital, technical, and trade skills, could potentially open up more job opportunities and foster more balanced economic growth in Rocklin.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
Current workforce training initiatives in Rocklin and the broader Placer County area typically involve collaboration between Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs), community colleges, and local organizations to align educational offerings with industry needs. The Golden Sierra Workforce Development Board, one of the key WIBs in the region, plays a significant role in identifying skills gaps and supporting training programs that enhance workforce readiness. They often provide funding for job training and partner with employers to ensure that programs are tailored to the demands of the local economy.
Community colleges, such as Sierra College, offer a variety of programs ranging from vocational training and technical education to academic degrees that prepare students for careers in high-demand sectors like healthcare, technology, and the trades. These institutions frequently update their curricula and 411
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 99
introduce new courses to reflect evolving job market trends and incorporate skills needed in emerging industries.
Various non-profit organizations and industry groups also contribute to workforce development by offering specialized training programs, apprenticeships, and certifications. These may include focuses on technology upskilling, digital literacy, and entrepreneurship, providing residents with opportunities to enhance their employability and advance their careers. Overall, these collaborative efforts aim to create a skilled and adaptable workforce that can meet the current and future needs of regional employers.
Additionally, California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) is a public assistance program offering cash aid and services to eligible families with children in the home. It provides education, employment, and training opportunities through Employment Services. In Placer County, Employment Services, previously known as Welfare to Work, helps program participants find employment by collaborating with the Business Advantage Network.
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)?
Yes
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth.
The City of Rocklin is typically involved in regional planning efforts that align with the goals of a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) and local economic development agencies often spearhead such strategies, focusing on sustainable economic growth, infrastructure development, and workforce enhancement in the region, including Rocklin. Participation may involve collaboration with Placer County and other cities to develop cohesive plans that address shared economic challenges and opportunities, leveraging federal and state resources. However, for the most current information on Rocklin's specific involvement in CEDS or regional economic planning efforts, it would be best to consult directly with Rocklin's economic development department or regional planning bodies.
Discussion
The Rocklin workforce landscape is varied, with significant employment in sectors like Education and Health Care, Retail, and Professional Services, buoyed by a relatively well-educated labor pool. However, mismatches between workforce skills and job availability point to needs for targeted training and development, particularly in technical trades and emerging sectors. The COVID-19 pandemic further disrupted planned investments by shutting down business causing many of them to close or experience hardships in finding staff, highlighting the necessity for workforce development initiatives supported by entities like the Golden Sierra Workforce Development Board and local community colleges. These programs are crucial for adapting to post-pandemic economic conditions, alongside infrastructure investments to enhance transportation and digital connectivity. Rocklin participates in regional planning efforts to promote economic stability and growth. This dynamic interplay of workforce readiness, and economic initiatives characterizes Rocklin's approach to fostering long-term growth and addressing community needs.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
In Rocklin, the distribution of populations and households across various neighborhoods indicates an absence of concentrated areas significantly affected by multiple housing problems.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
The city's residential landscape is characterized by a fairly even dispersal of populations, which contributes to the lack of significant patterns of residential segregation. This even distribution ensures that diverse communities are spread throughout the city rather than isolated in particular areas. As a result, housing-related challenges, such as affordability and access to amenities, are not disproportionately concentrated in any specific neighborhood, fostering a more integrated and cohesive community.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
While there are no specific areas in the City of Rocklin where minority or low-income households are predominantly concentrated, the City has observed that older neighborhoods, such as those along Pacific Street, tend to have a higher proportion of low-to-moderate-income households compared to the newer neighborhoods.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?
Not applicable.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
Not applicable.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.
While most households have the basic amenities for internet connectivity, ensuring that low- and moderate-income households have affordable and reliable access to the internet is crucial for equitable participation in today’s digital landscape. The key issue is less about the physical broadband infrastructure and more about providing cost-effective solutions that enable all households to have internet access at home.
For many residents in Rocklin, particularly those in low- and moderate-income brackets, having affordable broadband access is essential for unlocking opportunities. Ensuring connectivity at home allows students to make full use of online educational tools and resources, thereby helping to close the digital divide that adversely affects academic performance. Furthermore, adults can engage in remote work, pursue online learning to develop new skills, and access telehealth services, which are invaluable during health crises or for individuals with limited mobility.
Neighborhoods without sufficient support to afford broadband connections can experience setbacks that impede economic growth, restrict access to vital information, and degrade quality of life. By focusing on initiatives that make broadband access more affordable in these areas, we can bridge gaps and ensure that all communities in Rocklin can fully engage in and benefit from the digital economy.
Therefore, prioritizing efforts to enhance internet accessibility for underserved households in Rocklin is paramount. This could involve public-private partnerships, subsidies for low-income families, or community-based programs focused on increasing affordability and accessibility. By addressing these needs, Rocklin can promote greater inclusivity and empower its residents to leverage the advantages of modern technology to improve their quality of life.
Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.
In Rocklin, residents typically have access to multiple broadband providers, which can include major national companies and local providers. The main types of internet services offered in the area usually include cable, fiber-optic, DSL, and satellite. Providers like Xfinity (Comcast), AT&T, and Consolidated Communications are often among the primary options, though availability can vary by neighborhood.
Increasing competition among broadband Internet service providers in Rocklin could significantly benefit residents and businesses, addressing several key needs and enhancing overall service quality.
Competition fosters a healthier market environment that encourages innovation, potentially leading to improved technology and more robust infrastructure.
To achieve these benefits, Rocklin can explore initiatives that encourage the entry of additional internet service providers, such as regulatory changes, public-private partnerships, and investment in 414
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 102
infrastructure expansion. These steps could help foster a more competitive broadband market, ultimately benefiting the entire community.
MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
The City of Rocklin, like many areas in California, faces increased natural hazard risks due to climate change. These risks include heightened susceptibility to wildfires as temperatures rise and drought conditions become more frequent, particularly in urban-interface areas where residential developments meet natural landscapes. Additionally, shifting precipitation patterns can lead to more intense storms, increasing the likelihood of flooding and erosion, especially along waterways. The city's water supply may also be strained due to diminished snowpack and increased demand during hotter months.
Moreover, rising temperatures can exacerbate public health concerns, such as heat-related illnesses, affecting vulnerable populations. Overall, Rocklin must adapt its planning and infrastructure to mitigate these evolving risks associated with climate change.
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
Housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households in Rocklin is particularly vulnerable to climate change risks, primarily due to several interrelated factors identified through data analysis and findings. These households often reside in areas at higher risk for wildfires and flooding, as they may lack the resources to relocate to safer zones or invest in retrofitting homes. Economic limitations make it challenging for these families to afford necessary home improvements, like fire-resistant landscaping or flood defenses. Additionally, low- and moderate-income individuals may face higher exposure to health risks during extreme heat events due to inadequate access to air conditioning or safe public spaces.
Furthermore, in the event of natural disasters, the recovery process can be slower for these households, as they often have less savings, limited insurance coverage, and reduced access to assistance programs, exacerbating their overall vulnerability to the impacts of climate change.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The Strategic Plan outlines how the City of Rocklin will address the community’s housing and community development needs over the next five years utilizing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and other public and private leveraged funds. The priorities, needs, and goals addressed in the Strategic Plan are based on the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis from the previous sections, with input from public meetings and a community survey, as well as outreach to service providers and community stakeholders. Additionally, the priorities and goals in this Strategic Plan are intended to align with the City of Rocklin 2021-2029 Housing Element which was developed with extensive public engagement and data analysis and informs this Strategic Plan. The Priority Needs and Goals will be used to guide the City’s investment of public and private resources and allocation of funding for the next five years. The needs, goals, and priorities of the City are placed into three categories in this Strategic Plan: affordable housing, homelessness, and non-housing community development
The Strategic Plan focuses on activities that are appropriate for the use of CDBG funds, which are provided to the City by HUD on an annual basis. Based on previous years’ allocations, it is estimated that the City will receive an annual allocation of approximately $285,000 for the fiscal year 2025-2026 and the City is expected to receive a total of $1,425,000 over the five-year Consolidated Plan period.
In addition to these funds, the City may use other federal, state, and local funding sources such as the General Fund, the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF), and Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA) Funds to address the housing, homelessness and non-housing community development needs noted in this plan. Other funds that may be used to assist target-income households and areas as well as the rest of the community are identified in the City’s Housing Element.
SP-10 Geographic Priorities – 91.215 (a)(1)
Geographic Area
Based on the HUD CPD Mapping Tool, the City of Rocklin does not have significant, dense areas of low- income residents, nor are there areas of significant racial or ethnic minority concentration. The City will not direct CDBG funds to a specific geographic area.
Throughout the Consolidated Plan period, the City of Rocklin plans to invest in CDBG eligible census tracts of the City with the installation of ADA ramps and street improvements.

Table 1 - Geographic Priority Areas
General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA)
The City will direct CDBG funding to Rocklin households and neighborhoods identified in the Consolidated Plan as having Priority Needs.
Some communities have no or very few areas in which 51 percent of the residents are low- and moderate-income. For these grantees, HUD authorizes an exception criterion for such grantees to be able to undertake area benefit activities. Specifically, Section 105(c)(2)(A)(ii) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, states that an activity shall be considered to 417
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 105
principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons when "the area served by such activity is within the highest quartile of all areas within the jurisdiction of such city or county in terms of the degree of concentration of persons of low and moderate income."
Each year, HUD publishes a list of CDBG "exception grantees" and the exception threshold percentage for each grantee on its website. Current thresholds are based on the 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS). This percentage represents the minimum percentage of low- and moderate-income persons that must reside in the service area of an area benefit activity for the activity to be assisted with CDBG funds.
Exception grantee status may change from year to year. The City of Rocklin was determined to be an Exception Grantee for program year 2024 (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025). Projects serving census tracts and block groups with 41.5% or more LMI residents may qualify for Area Benefit. Exception Grantee status may change each year, depending on HUD income estimate calculations. The percentage may change slightly from year to year, but it is likely that the City will continue to receive Exception Grantee status throughout the five-year Consolidated Plan period.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City of Rocklin does not receive federal funding other than CDBG for housing and non-housing community development activities. There are no matching requirements for the CDBG program.
424
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 112
CDBG usually cannot be used to leverage other federal funding sources. When available, the City may use local or private funds as leverage for other funding sources. The City endeavors to leverage CDBG dollars with local funds such as the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF) and with other State and private funding sources to deliver efficient and cost-effective programs. Sources may include: federal HOME funds through the State of California; federal and state tax credits; State Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA); State Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC); and other programs available from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development or private sector sources.
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 2021-2019 Housing Element update identifies parcels suitable for residential development. To help facilitate the development of affordable housing on these sites, the City works with interested developers and provides financial and/or regulatory incentives, as feasible.
In September 2019, the City purchased approximately 1.8 acres located between Oak and Pine Streets and Railroad Avenue and Pacific Street from the Successor Agency using the City’s Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund. On September 28, 2021, the City Council of the City of Rocklin adopted a resolution declaring these parcels, as well as the intersecting alley between the parcels, as surplus property. Community Housing Works (CHW) is working with the City of Rocklin on processing an application to develop the Pacific Street Apartments project, which is a 110-unit affordable multifamily community. The Project proposes a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units in four (4) three-story apartment buildings, as well as a two-story leasing and amenity building, arranged around the site.
The State of California Department of General Services Real Estate Surplus Property website does not identify any available state-owned sites in the City of Rocklin.
Discussion
The City has a Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF), and is a recipient of Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA) Funds. These funding sources are utilized to address housing and homelessness, specifically homeless prevention and rapid rehousing.
The City will seek other available funding to address the needs of low- and moderate-income residents when available. Other sources may include funding from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, HUD and private sources.
The City will consider the use of publicly owned land, when available, for the construction of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households.

Table 5 - Institutional Delivery Structure
Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The City of Rocklin Office of the City Manager maintains primary responsibility for the development and implementation of the Consolidated Plan. The City’s Finance Department administers fiscal management, all fund disbursements, accounting, and auditing of grant funds. The Community Development Department is responsible for overseeing the responsible and sustainable growth of the City while ensuring safety and quality of life including building permits, entitlements, and site development review. The Public Works Department and the Parks and Recreation Department are responsible for construction and rehabilitation of city-owned properties and infrastructure. The City is served by a strong contingent of other governmental agencies and non-profit organizations that provide needed services including affordable housing, domestic violence/sexual assault services, homeless programs, and other public services for low- and moderate-income residents. 426
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 114
The City’s system of institutional structure is strong and well-coordinated, with little duplication of services. The City will work to address any gaps as they arise.

Table 6 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) The Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS) is a nonprofit organization serving as the collaborative applicant and administrative entity for two Continuums of Care (CoCs). These are the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County CoC (CA-515) and the Nevada County CoC (CA-531). HRCS is governed by a seven-member board with representation from each of the continuums of care. HRCS manages the county’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and conducts the annual Point-In-Time 427
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 115
count of people experiencing homelessness. Member agencies of the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer CoC provide programs and housing for persons experiencing homelessness (both chronically homeless and others), shelter and transitional housing; housing and services for persons with mental health issues; programs for families with children; housing and services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or trafficking; food and nutrition programs; and assistance to persons at-risk of homelessness.
In addition to the work of the CoC, the Placer Consortium on Homelessness (PCH) works to address the needs of local residents experiencing homelessness.
Placer County administers a wide range of programs addressing critical needs of low- and moderate- income persons and special needs populations. Services include: aging and adult services; programs for children, youth and families; CALWORKs/employment services; cash benefit programs (general relief, CALWORKs and assistance for immigrants, refugees, trafficking and crime victims); food and nutrition programs (CalFresh and WIC); healthcare (Medi-Cal); homeless programs and temporary housing assistance; and Veteran’s services.
The Placer County Housing Authority and the Roseville Housing Authority administer Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance, in addition to vouchers dedicated to special populations: Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH); Family Unification Program (for at-risk families with children); Non-Elderly Disabled Vouchers; Mainstream One-Year, Mainstream Five-year, and Nursing Home Transition Vouchers.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above
The City of Rocklin is served by two well managed and experienced housing authorities that administer Voucher rental assistance for Rocklin residents. However, additional subsidies are needed to meet the need as indicated in the discussion of housing cost burden above. The City works to support the development of affordable housing, but the current stock is not sufficient to meet the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, persons meeting the HUD definition of chronically homeless, families with children, veterans and their families. The 2024 homeless PIT Count found no unaccompanied youth in Placer County.
The Placer County Homelessness Response Project was a multi-year collaboration of County agencies, cities, law enforcement, health services, and local nonprofits to address homelessness in Mid- and South Placer. While Placer County has one of the lowest rates of homelessness in California, project participants felt the region could still do more to address the issue. Key takeaways from the Project include: Placer County has one of the lowest rates of homelessness among counties in California; within the County there are provider partnerships and successful homeless outreach initiatives underway; more needs to still be done to address homelessness in the region. At the conclusion of the Homeless Response Project, the Local Government Advisory Committee was created as a subcommittee of the CoC to continue the collaboration of the working group and address homelessness in the region.
During the consolidated planning process, service providers identified the following gaps in services for special needs populations and persons experiencing homelessness: a shortage of housing assistance vouchers and subsidized housing; limited housing options for persons with disabilities; a need for more 428
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 116
permanent supportive housing for persons that require case management or services to maintain housing stability; more treatment and/or assistance for persons with mental health issues, substance use disorder, or developmental disabilities; a need for more services and housing for persons with chronic health conditions and/or disabilities.
Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs
The Placer County Homelessness Response Project Phase 1 was implemented in June 2021 – April 2022 and focused on bringing elected representatives, law enforcement, the Continuum of Care (CoC), healthcare and social service providers to develop an inventory of current programs and services; and to identify gaps for consideration. Phase 2 included monthly meetings from June 2022 – September 2023 identifying four key priorities: public safety and social services partnerships; emergency housing; permanent supportive housing; and communications and public engagement.
Going forward, the planning group recommends: 1) memorialize regional priorities, strategies and tactics identified across both phases of work; and 2) convene an intergovernmental committee of the CoC that would allow local jurisdictions to continue to collaborate and share ideas while becoming better informed of and integrated with the regional work of the CoC. For future consideration, the planning group suggests consideration of: implementation/funding for the Peer Outreach Worker Pilot Program; conduct a six month review of data from the mobile temporary shelter at the government center; seek future siting for permanent supportive housing; explore congregant emergency shelter alternatives such as the navigation center model; and, development and implementation of a project website and coordination between the County and local jurisdictions to ensure consistent messaging to the public. The second recommendation has been implemented through the Local Government Advisory Committee (LoGAC), which is a subcommittee of the CoC and consists of executives from local governments in the region. The purpose of the LoGAC is to continue the work of the Homelessness Response Project and bring forward solutions to address homelessness in the region.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City of Rocklin 2021-2029 Housing Element identifies land cost, construction cost, market financing and governmental constraints as potential impediments to affordable housing and residential investment.
Both construction and land costs have been increasing exponentially year-over-year, making the development of affordable housing increasingly less profitable for developers. Interest rates for construction loans have generally increased over the past five years, reflecting broader trends in monetary policy and economic conditions. Environmental regulations, coupled with the complex requirements for using State and Federal funds in affordable housing development, have made it more challenging to find qualified developers and ensure project feasibility.
Government constraints impacting housing development can include zoning regulations, which dictate land use and can limit the availability of land for new housing or restrict the types of housing that can be built. permit approval processes can delay projects and increase costs for developers. High development fees and impact fees, often imposed to fund public services and infrastructure, can add significant expenses to housing development, making affordable housing projects less financially viable.
Additionally, building codes and environmental regulations, while essential for safety and sustainability, may increase complexity and costs, further constraining the pace and scope of new housing developments. These factors, combined with potential community opposition or restrictive growth policies, can collectively limit the availability and affordability of housing in Rocklin.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing
The 2021-2019 Housing Element includes the following policies aimed at addressing barriers to affordable housing development.
Policy 3.4: Continue to work with developers requesting General Plan Amendments converting nonresidential designation to residential uses or from a higher density residential category to a lower density residential category to incorporate affordable housing as a component of the overall development. As an objective, target up to ten percent of the units as affordable, depending on the level of affordability or other amenities provided. Pursue the inclusion of extremely low-income units whenever possible in the negotiated target number of affordable units.
Policy 4.1: Provide regulatory and/or financial incentives, where appropriate, to offset or reduce the costs of affordable housing development, including density bonuses and flexibility in site development standards.
Policy 4.2: Periodically review City regulations, ordinances, departmental processing procedures, and residential fees related to rehabilitation and/or construction to assess their impact on housing costs, and revise as appropriate.
Policy 5.2: In conjunction with surrounding jurisdictions, actively pursue State, Federal, and other funding sources for affordable housing activities.
435
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 123
Policy 6.3: Promote housing that meets the special needs of the homeless, seniors, large families, and persons with disabilities.
In addition to these policies of the Housing Element, the City has also created an Affordable Housing Incentive Program which provides development impact fee reductions, fee deferrals, and low interest loans for qualified affordable housing developments.
SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County Continuum of Care (CoC) conducts an annual Point-in-Time (PIT) count of persons experiencing homelessness and an annual Housing Inventory Count (HIC) of sheltered homeless persons in January. The PIT count provides the homeless assistance community with the data needed to understand the number and characteristics of persons who are homeless at one point in time. The HIC informs the homeless assistance community on the capacity to house persons who are homeless using local resources. The 2024 PIT Count identified 39 persons experiencing homelessness in Rocklin, of which 32 were Unsheltered. Staff from the City of Rocklin Office of the City Manager and Community Development Department (Housing and Code Compliance Divisions), as well as the Rocklin Police Department, have directly participated in the PIT Count including administering surveys to homeless individuals in past years.
The City is a member of the Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS), a broad-based coalition of homeless housing and shelter providers, consumers, advocates, and government representatives working together to shape planning and decision-making around the issue of homelessness. HRCS serves as the "collaborative applicant" and “administrative entity” for the CoC. HRCS provides leadership and coordination of the CoC planning process and ensures comprehensive, regional coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of persons who are homeless, as well as the number of persons at risk of homelessness. Staff from the City of Rocklin Office of the City Manager also have a seat on the government board of the CoC. The Placer County Department of Health and Human Services is also a member of HRCS and the CoC. Both the City and County administer successful homeless outreach initiatives to Unsheltered individuals and families.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Although no transitional housing facility or emergency shelter is located in Rocklin, the Placer County Department of Health and Human Services Adult System of Care operates a transitional housing facility for homeless persons with mental health disabilities just outside of the City limits. Additionally, three organizations provide transitional housing and two other organizations operate emergency shelters for homeless persons in nearby Roseville.
● Home Start offers a transitional housing program for Placer County homeless children and their families.
436
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 124
● The Lazarus Project provides food, housing, clothing, guidance, counseling, education, job training, budgeting classes, parenting classes and access to health care for persons recovering from homelessness, unemployment, abuse, addictions, and physical and/or mental impairment. The agency operates four transitional housing with a maximum capacity of seventeen men and six women.
● Placer County’s HEARTS (Housing, Employment, Assistance, Recovery, Treatment, and Success) program provides services for mentally ill persons who are homeless. ● The Gathering Inn collaborates with Rocklin, the County, and other jurisdictions to offer services to address the causes of homelessness. The Gathering Inn operates two intake centers, one in Roseville and one in Auburn, where homeless individuals have access to showers, clean clothes, healthcare, housing and employment opportunities. They board a bus or van and travel to one of the many hosting churches located in Rocklin and other locations throughout south Placer County. Host churches commit the use of their facilities on designated evenings to provide a safe and secure place for more than 185 homeless individuals and families across all facilities to receive dinner, sleep inside, and enjoy hospitality. Additionally, The Gathering Inn has recently used County grant funds to purchase homes in Rocklin and other neighboring jurisdictions to provide permanent supportive housing. ● Stand Up Placer serves Placer County and provides shelter for battered women and children and victims of domestic violence/sexual assault. Supportive services offered include crisis intervention, counseling, and food and clothing assistance.
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 community outreach, surveys, consultations and data analysis conducted during the Consolidated Plan development process indicated substantial concern for persons experiencing homelessness in the City of Rocklin. In response, the Consolidated Plan includes the following Priority Needs to be addressed with CDBG funds over the five-year term:
High Priority Needs
● Address factors contributing to housing instability and increasing the risk of homelessness for low- and moderate-income residents.
● Provide services and housing for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault or trafficking.
The City’s CDBG allocation and available local funds are not sufficient to resolve the many needs of persons at risk or experiencing homelessness in our community. The City will continue to participate in and support the efforts of the Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS), the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County Continuum of Care, Placer County and other regional organizations to address the many issues that contribute to homelessness.
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being 437
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 125
discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs
As noted above, addressing factors contributing to housing instability is a Consolidated Plan High Priority Need to be addressed with the City’s CDBG and other local funding sources. The City will continue to support and coordinate with regional partner agencies to develop a strong and effective safety net system to help low-income individuals and families to maintain housing stability.
SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The City will continue to coordinate with Placer County’s Department of Health and Human Services Environmental Services Division when necessary to help reduce lead-based paint hazards and will educate City residents regarding options for testing, mitigation and abatement.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? All recipients of CDBG funds for residential rehabilitation projects and housing assistance are required to comply with 24CFR 570.487(c) the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act; 24 CFR Part 35 Lead- Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures; Title X, Section 1018 Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Rule; and other applicable laws and regulations related to lead-based paint poisoning and prevention in residential buildings.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City’s CDBG funded housing programs will follow the regulations and rules noted in the previous paragraph. Program participants are provided the HUD Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home brochure in the appropriate language.
SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City’s anti-poverty strategy includes collaboration with regional partners to improve the quality of affordable housing in Rocklin, assure safe housing choices for lower-income residents, support social service agencies and encourage economic opportunities. Partners include the Placer County Department of Health and Human Services; the Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS); the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County Continuum of Care; the Placer County Housing Authority and the Roseville Housing Authority.
Based on the Consolidated Plan community outreach, surveys, consultations and data analysis, the City has designated the following Priority Needs to be addressed with CDBG funds over the five-year term to address persons in poverty:
438
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 126
High Priority Needs
● Provide services for low- and moderate-income families with children or youth, and services for seniors. Programs providing food and nutrition services for low- and moderate-income persons. ● Address factors contributing to housing instability and increasing the risk of homelessness for low- and moderate-income residents.
Low Priority Needs
● Provide housing rehabilitation assistance to low- and moderate-income homeowners to sustain and preserve the affordable single-family housing stock. ● Support economic opportunity by providing assistance to low- and moderate-income microenterprise business owners or to businesses that create and/or retain jobs for low- and moderate-income persons. Support job readiness for low- and moderate-income persons.
The Placer County Housing Authority and the Roseville Housing Authority operate a family self- sufficiency program that provides case management and financial incentives to residents to support achieving economic independence and reducing dependence on welfare assistance and rental subsidies.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
The Consolidated Plan consists of an analysis of the City of Rocklin’s housing and community development needs and how the City will direct the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and other public and private leveraged funds to address those needs.
Four of the Priority Needs identified in this plan are directly related to reducing the effects of poverty on the lowest-income residents. Goals in the plan dedicate expected CDBG funding to programs and projects that will directly impact persons in poverty.
SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City of Rocklin monitors recipients of CDBG funds. The City’s monitoring system involving desk monitoring and on-site monitoring to ensure that the activities carried out in furtherance of the Consolidated Plan are done so in a timely manner and in accordance with the federal monitoring requirements of 24 CFR 570.501(V) and 24 CFR 85.40 and all other applicable laws, regulations, policies, and sound management and accounting practices.
The City views monitoring as an opportunity to provide technical assistance and support to help its subrecipients reach project and Consolidated Plan goals and improve service. The objectives of monitoring are:
439
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 127
● To assure that subrecipients are carrying out their program or project as described; ● To assure that subrecipients are implementing the program or project in a timely manner; ● To assure that subrecipients are assessing costs to the program or project which are eligible under CDBG regulations and the contract;
● To assure that subrecipients are conforming with other applicable laws, regulations, and terms of the agreement;
● To assure that the program or project is operating in a manner that minimizes the opportunity for fraud, waste, and mismanagement; and
● To assure that subrecipients have the capacity to carry out the approved project or program.
City staff will conduct desk monitoring, which involves a detailed application review including national objectives, eligible activities, cost reasonableness, request for payment, accomplishment and demographic data, environmental review, procurement and contracting, and labor standards.
City staff will also conduct on-site monitoring visits as needed for subrecipients. The on-site monitoring ensures consistency with the information in the application and contract.
The City will track and report on its progress toward meeting its housing and community development goals and all pertinent information will be incorporated into the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan are implemented by City staff in the Office of the City Manager. The purpose of the Action Plan is to meet the community development and housing needs identified in the Consolidated Plan through the use of CDBG funding. City staff encourage citizen participation throughout the Action Plan process. This includes consulting local organizations and encouraging public comment during the public review period and at the City Council public hearing to discuss the draft Annual Action Plan. Using research and input from the public, City staff formulated the objectives and outcomes that are briefly described below.
As of the date of this draft document, Congress has not approved a fiscal year 2025 budget. Therefore, HUD has not announced the City's allocation for the 2025-2026 program year. The anticipated resources noted below are an estimate based on recent year funding amounts, therefore the draft funding Project allocations below also are an estimate and subject to change based on the final HUD allocation amount.

2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 129
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The City of Rocklin endeavors to leverage CDBG dollars with local funds such as the Low- and Moderate- Income Housing Asset Fund and the General Fund. When available, the City may apply for additional federal or state funding to further community development and affordable housing goals.
There is no matching funds requirement for the CDBG program. The City of Rocklin does not receive HOME or Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding that would require local match funds.
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 2021-2019 Housing Element update identifies parcels suitable for residential development. To help facilitate the development of affordable housing on these sites, the City works with interested developers and provides financial and/or regulatory incentives, as feasible.
In September 2019, the City purchased approximately 1.8 acres located between Oak and Pine Streets and Railroad Avenue and Pacific Street from the Successor Agency using the City’s Low- and Moderate- Income Housing Asset Fund. On September 28, 2021, the City Council of the City of Rocklin adopted a resolution declaring these parcels, as well as the intersecting alley between the parcels, as surplus property. Community Housing Works (CHW) is working with the City of Rocklin on processing an application to develop the Pacific Street Apartments project. The Project is a 110-unit affordable multifamily community. The Project proposes a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units in four (4) three-story apartment buildings, as well as a two-story leasing and amenity building, arranged around the site.
The State of California Department of General Services Real Estate Surplus Property website does not identify any available state-owned sites in the City of Rocklin.
Discussion
Despite the wide range of potential resources to serve these needs, funding is not expected to be sufficient to address all needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. Funding gaps are the most significant barrier to fully addressing housing and community development needs in the City of Rocklin. 442

2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 139
AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Homelessness has been, and continues to be, a concern for Rocklin Residents. The 2021-2029 Housing Element identifies addressing factors contributing to housing instability and factors that increase the risk of homelessness for low- and moderate-income residents as a high priority need in the community.
Housing instability and homelessness were identified as high priority needs during Public Community Meetings held to solicit input regarding the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan. Respondents to the Community Needs Survey and local service providers who were consulted also voiced concerns regarding housing instability and homelessness. The 2024 Placer County Point-in-Time Homeless Count found 39 homeless individuals living in the City of Rocklin.
The City supports programs that provide assistance to persons at risk of or experiencing homelessness.
In addition to making CDBG public service funds available to these organizations, the City expends Low- and Moderate- Income Housing Asset Funds (LMIHAF) for Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing (HPRR) annually. The City of Rocklin has a seat on the governing board of the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County CoC (CA-515). This City board member helps shape the funding and policy decisions of the CoC and facilitates information sharing between the two agencies.
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 Council of the City of Rocklin has identified homeless prevention as a priority need in the City, and the community outreach efforts during the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan preparation also reflect this need. The City has set goals to address homeless prevention and support services with the Public Services allocation of this year’s funding. However, this amount is insufficient to address all needs. Due to the limited funding, the City also leverages the LMIHAF Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing funding.
The City of Rocklin has a Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) unit with one full time dedicated officer who conducts homeless outreach. This officer works with community partners, including Placer County Health and Human Services, Placer County Probation, The Gathering Inn, and others to provide services and shelter to the unsheltered homeless population in Rocklin. The City has established a goal to continue this outreach in this program year.
The Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS) and the Roseville/Rocklin Placer County Continuum of Care (CoC) conduct an annual Housing Inventory Count (HIC) of shelter beds and housing for persons experiencing homelessness; along with an annual Point-in-Time (PIT) count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons. The counts are conducted during the last ten days in January as required by HUD homeless funding programs. The Housing Inventory Count (HIC) is a report that informs the homeless assistance community on the capacity to house persons who are homeless at local and national levels. The PIT provides the homeless assistance community with the data needed to understand the number and characteristics of persons who are homeless at one point-in-time. In 2024, 452
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 140
the count for Rocklin was 39 individuals. Of those individuals, 7 were sheltered and 32 were unsheltered. The City of Rocklin has a seat on the governing board of the CoC. The City board member helps shape the funding and policy decisions of the CoC and facilitates information sharing between the two agencies. The City has established a goal to continue this partnership between the two agencies and retain a seat on the CoC governing board.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Although there are no transitional housing or emergency shelter facilities located within Rocklin, the Placer County Department of Health and Human Services Adult System of Care operates a transitional housing facility for homeless persons with mental health disabilities just outside the city limits. There are several programs located in nearby Roseville that serve homeless Placer County residents, including those from Rocklin.
The Volunteers of America HomeStart program offers transitional housing for homeless children and their families. TGI operates an emergency housing program serving homeless individuals that offers overnight housing at various churches within South Placer County as well as supportive services at their main office in Roseville. The City of Rocklin has provided local funds to support TGI in recent years, rather than the limited amount of CDBG public service funding available. The Lazarus Project provides food, housing, clothing, guidance, counseling, education, job training, budgeting classes, parenting classes, and access to health care for persons recovering from homelessness, unemployment, abuse, addiction, and physical and/or mental impairment.
The City will continue to coordinate with these organizations to develop a strong system to meet the needs of homeless persons.
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
HUD data from the 2016-2020 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) estimates that there are 2,190 low- and moderate-income Rocklin households paying in excess of 50% of household income towards housing costs, which indicates that they are at imminent risk of homelessness. As noted above, the City supports programs that assist homeless and chronically homeless individuals and families.
The loss of a job, a raise in rent, an eviction, or domestic violence can easily lead to homelessness for many low- and moderate-income individuals and families. The City also assists the homeless county- wide through its participation in the Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS)/Placer County Continuum of Care. The Continuum of Care (CoC) programs are created to address the problems of homelessness in a comprehensive manner.
There are several organizations providing emergency food in the Placer County area, including First 453
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 141
United Methodist Church of Loomis, St. Mark's Anglican Episcopal, and United Methodist of Newcastle.
Placer Food Bank conducts a free farmers market one day each month in Rocklin at Johnson Springview Park. The Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul also provide food and nutrition assistance to the homeless. When families and individuals do not have to pay for food, they have more income remaining to stay current on rent payments and avoid a return to homelessness.
TGI, Volunteers of America, and the Salvation Army all report that they provide services to Veterans and their families. The Lighthouse Counseling & Family Resource Center offers families and individuals free counseling, educational classes, and programs that help with a range of personal challenges from anxiety and depression, abuse and neglect, and trauma. Classes offered aid clients with employment, empowerment, emotional management, and other life skills.
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.
The City of Rocklin works with and supports the Placer Consortium on Homelessness (PCH) and the Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS) to address the needs of local residents experiencing homelessness. HRCS is a nonprofit organization serving as the "collaborative applicant" and “administrative entity” for the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County Continuum of Care (CoC). The City of Rocklin has a seat on the governing board of the CoC. The City board member helps shape the funding and policy decisions of the CoC and facilitates information sharing between the two agencies.
The City supports programs providing assistance to persons at risk of or experiencing homelessness. In addition to making CDBG funding available to these organizations, the City also expends Low- and Moderate- Income Housing Asset Funds for Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing annually.
The City maintains contact information on its website for community resources including: affordable housing, food distribution, education, resources for seniors and veterans, homeless services, and services for victims of domestic violence or sexual assault.
Discussion
The City will continue to coordinate with our partners to develop a strong and effective system to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness in our community.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The City of Rocklin 2021-2029 Housing Element identifies land cost, construction cost, market financing, and governmental constraints as potential impediments to affordable housing and residential investment.
Government constraints impacting housing development can include zoning regulations, which dictate land use and can limit the availability of land for new housing or restrict the types of housing that can be built. Permit approval processes can delay projects and increase costs for developers. High development fees and impact fees, often imposed to fund public services and infrastructure, can add significant expenses to housing development, making affordable housing projects less financially viable.
Additionally, building codes and environmental regulations, while essential for safety and sustainability, may increase complexity and costs, further constraining the pace and scope of new housing developments. These factors, combined with potential community opposition or restrictive growth policies, can collectively limit the availability and affordability of housing in Rocklin.
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
The City of Rocklin recognizes there are certain public policies, particularly zoning and land-use regulations, that pose challenges in increasing affordable housing opportunities and residential investment. This is revealed in higher housing costs, a shortage of affordable housing in relation to demand, and higher land costs. Inflexible or outdated regulations contribute to this problem. The 2021- 2029 Housing Element includes the following policies aimed at addressing barriers to affordable housing development:
• Policy 3.4: Continue to work with developers requesting General Plan Amendments converting nonresidential designation to residential uses or from a higher density residential category to a lower density residential category to incorporate affordable housing as a component of the overall development. As an objective, target up to ten percent of the units as affordable, depending on the level of affordability or other amenities provided. Pursue the inclusion of extremely low-income units whenever possible in the negotiated target number of affordable units.
• Policy 4.1: Provide regulatory and/or financial incentives, where appropriate, to offset or reduce the costs of affordable housing development, including density bonuses and flexibility in site development standards.
• Policy 4.2: Periodically review City regulations, ordinances, departmental processing procedures, and residential fees related to rehabilitation and/or construction to assess their impact on housing costs, and revise as appropriate.
• Policy 5.2: In conjunction with surrounding jurisdictions, actively pursue State, Federal, and other funding sources for affordable housing activities. • Policy 6.3: Promote housing that meets the special needs of the homeless, seniors, large families, and persons with disabilities.
455
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 143
In addition to these policies of the Housing Element, the City has also created an Affordable Housing Incentive Program which provides development impact fee reductions, fee deferrals, and low interest loans for qualified affordable housing developments.

There are a number of barriers to affordable housing development that are out of the City’s control.
Both construction and land costs have been increasing exponentially year-over-year, making the development of affordable housing increasingly less profitable for developers. Interest rates for construction loans have generally increased over the past five years, reflecting broader trends in monetary policy and economic conditions. Environmental regulations, coupled with the complex requirements for using State and Federal funds in affordable housing development, have made it more challenging to find qualified developers and ensure project feasibility. The City will continue to implement programs, when feasible, to support affordable housing development.
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
In addition to homelessness and affordable housing development issues noted above, public participation comments revealed concerns regarding additional populations. Community need priorities were determined through public outreach including three publicly noticed community meetings, web- based surveys for Rocklin residents, consultation with housing and service providers, consultation with City staff, service provider questionnaires, and analysis of available census and other data relating to the needs of low- and moderate-income persons.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City will encourage area service providers to offer services in the community. The City will continue to use CDBG dollars and local funds to address underserved needs and promote the availability of services on the City’s website.
During 2025-2026 Program Year, CDBG funding will be used to fund:
● Programs providing services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault; ● Programs providing assistance to seniors and disabled persons through food and essentials delivery programs; and
● Completion of accessibility and safety projects.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
Staff from the Community Development Department and Office of the City Manager regularly review Housing Element programs, objectives, and progress towards accommodating the City’s share of the regional housing need. An annual progress report will be prepared and provided to the California Office of Planning and Research and California Department of Housing and Community Development.
Depending on funding availability, the City will consider modifications to Housing Element programs as 456
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 144
necessary and appropriate to implement General Plan goals and policies.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City will continue to coordinate with Placer County’s Department of Health and Human Services Environmental Services Division as needed to help reduce lead-based paint hazards and will educate City residents regarding options for testing, mitigation and abatement.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City’s anti-poverty strategy includes collaboration with regional partners to improve the quality of affordable housing in Rocklin, assure safe housing choices for lower-income residents, support social service agencies and encourage economic opportunities. Partners include the Placer County Department of Health and Human Services; the Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras (HRCS); the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County Continuum of Care (CoC); the Placer County Housing Authority and the Roseville Housing Authority.
The Placer County Housing Authority and the Roseville Housing Authority operate a family self- sufficiency program that provides case management and financial incentives to residents to support achieving economic independence and reducing dependence on welfare assistance and rental subsidies.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City relies on a network of public sector and non-profit organizations to implement the Annual Action Plan. These organizations play a large role in directly providing housing and services to low- income, homeless, and special needs populations throughout Rocklin. The system's strengths include the collaborative manner in which these diverse groups work together to maximize available resources.
The City’s institutional delivery structure is strong and well-coordinated with little duplication of services.
The Placer County Homelessness Response Project Phase 1 was implemented June of 2021 through April 2022 and focused on bringing elected representatives, law enforcement, the Continuum of Care (CoC), and healthcare and social service providers together to develop an inventory of current programs and services and to identify gaps for consideration. Phase 2 included monthly meetings from June 2022 to September 2023 identifying four key priorities: public safety and social services partnerships; emergency housing; permanent supportive housing; and communications and public engagement. At the conclusion of the Homeless Response Project, the Local Government Advisory Committee (LoGAC) was created as a subcommittee of the CoC to continue the collaboration of the working group and address homelessness in the region.
The planning group recommended future efforts to memorializing regional priorities, strategies and tactics identified across both phases of work and convening an intergovernmental committee of the CoC that would allow local jurisdictions to continue to collaborate and share ideas while becoming better informed of and integrated with the regional work of the CoC. For future consideration, the planning group suggested consideration of implementation/funding for the Peer Outreach Worker Pilot Program, conducting a six month review of data from the mobile temporary shelter at the government center, seeking future siting for permanent supportive housing, exploring congregant emergency shelter 457
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 145
alternatives such as the navigation center model, and development and implementation of a project website and coordination between the County and local jurisdictions to ensure consistent messaging to the public.
The second recommendation has been implemented through the Local Government Advisory Committee (LoGAC) which consists of executives from local governments in the region. The purpose of the LoGAC is to continue the work of the Homelessness Response Project and bring forward solutions to address homelessness in the region.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City develops relationships with private for-profit developers and non-profit housing developers.
The City consults with service providers and organizations serving low- and moderate-income Rocklin residents, such as:
● Service providers that address the needs of low- and moderate-income households as well as targeted populations such as persons with special needs or disabilities; ● Affordable housing providers;
● Housing advocates;
● Housing professionals;
● Public agencies (such as school districts, health services, and public works); ● Economic development and employment organizations; and ● Community and neighborhood groups.
Discussion:
The 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan focuses on activities that are appropriate for the use of CDBG funds, which are provided to the City by HUD on an annual basis. Based on previous years’ allocations, it is estimated that the City will receive an allocation of approximately $285,000 for the fiscal year 2025- 2026. In addition to these funds, the City may use local funding such as the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund for Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing and other state or federal sources to address the housing, homelessness and non-housing community development needs noted in this plan.

City of Rocklin
Update to the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
The City of Rocklin is a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This report describes the City’s efforts to reduce the incidence and impact of housing discrimination for Rocklin residents.
HUD Analysis of Impediments Requirement
Starting in 1995, HUD required CDBG grantees to develop and implement an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) every five years. In 2015, HUD replaced the AI with a new requirement, the Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). Both the AI and the AFH requirements were dropped in 2020. In 2023, HUD issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to take comments on a new process for complying with AFFH requirements, but the new rule has not been implemented. Although the City is no longer required to maintain a current AI, the City desires to update the AI to ensure it is reflective of actions taken by the City to further fair housing. HUD still requires the City to certify that it will Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) when applying for CDBG funds each year. The City will continue to meet HUD requirements for Fair Housing as they are implemented.
Sacramento Valley Regional AI
In 2019 and 2020, Rocklin joined regional jurisdictions and agencies to create the Sac Valley Fair Housing Collaborative (SVFHC). The goal of the SVFHC was to take meaningful actions to overcome historic patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, and foster inclusive communities that are free from discrimination on a regional basis. The SVFHC developed a regional AI, the Sac Valley Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, which was adopted by the City Council of the City of Rocklin on April 14, 2020.
The following agencies participated in the SVFHC effort and the regional AI:
● City of Citrus Heights
● City of Davis
● City of Elk Grove
● City of Folsom
● City of Galt
● City of Isleton
● City of Rancho Cordova
● City of Rocklin
● City of Roseville
● City of Sacramento
● Housing Authority of Sacramento
462
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 150
● Sacramento County
● Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency
● City of West Sacramento
● City of Woodland
● Yolo County Housing Authority
Community engagement was a key factor in the development of the Sac Valley AI. This included focus groups with residents and stakeholders, “pop up” engagement at local events, and a resident survey.
Stakeholder focus groups were supplemented with in-depth interviews.
Outreach to the community was paired with an analysis of available data relating to income, areas of concentration for minority groups, homeownership rates, housing cost burden, displacement and access to opportunity. The following is a summary of findings related to the City of Rocklin.
2020 Sac Valley AI Data Data Update (if available)
Rocklin’s 9% poverty rate tied with Roseville
for the lowest rate in the region.
Based on the U.S. Census 2023 American Community
Survey (ACS) estimates, the poverty rate in Rocklin has been reduced to 6.2%.
Rocklin tends to have a higher rate of non-
Hispanic White or Asian residents.
2023 ACS data indicates that there are 20% more
White residents in Rocklin than in the Sacramento-
Roseville-Folsom Metropolitan Area. Other races do
not show a significant difference. There are 8% fewer
Hispanic/Latino residents than the metro area.
The homeownership rate in Rocklin is 10%
higher for non-Hispanic White households
than for Hispanic households. However,
compared to the region, Rocklin has one of
the highest rates of Black/African American
and Hispanic homeownership rates.
The 2023 ACS estimate reports homeownership rates
by race/ethnicity to be: White 72.3%; Asian 10.9%;
Other 6.9%; Two or more races 8.5%; Hispanic origin
12.8%. The ACS did not report a homeownership rate
for Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan
Native, or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander
because numbers sampled were insufficient for
estimation.
Across the region, Black/African American
and Hispanic households experience
housing problems more often than other
races or ethnicities (cost burden,
overcrowding, incomplete plumbing and/or
cooking facilities).
HUD data from the 2016-2020 ACS indicates that
although all race and ethnic groups are affected by
Housing Cost Burden, Black/African American and
American Indian/Alaskan Natives experience a Severe
Housing Cost Burden at a significantly higher rate than other groups. Extremely Low-Income Households of
Hispanic ethnicity report a much higher incidence of
Housing Problems and Severe Housing Cost Burden
than non-Hispanic households.
A survey of over 500 regional lower-income
residents indicated that 25% had been
displaced from a housing situation in the
preceding five years. The most common
reasons for displacement were a rent
Current data on the rate of displacement is not
available. However, service providers working with
lower income residents report the primary causes of
housing instability to be:
463
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 151
increase, personal reasons, the landlord
sold the home and the home was in an
unsafe condition.
Lack of consistent income source that is adequate to
cover housing costs and other necessities.
Generational homelessness (experienced
homelessness with parents) results in a higher risk of
homelessness.
Untreated mental health, substance use disorders, and
developmental disabilities may cause individuals to
struggle with employment, self-care, navigating
services, and getting along with neighbors/roommates.
Chronic health conditions and disabilities.
Victims of domestic violence may be financially abused
and often do not have access to household
funds/assets to help them secure housing, may not
have recent work experience.
Sex trafficking victims may have criminal histories.
Victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and sex
trafficking frequently have serious mental health or
substance use disorders, often direct results of
victimization.
There is little disparity in school quality
between lower and higher income
neighborhoods and all races and ethnicities
have similar access to proficient schools.
According to the State of California Department of
Education’s School Dashboard, all Rocklin Unified
schools (except for alternative schools) are rated in the medium to high range for English Language and
Mathematics compared to all schools statewide.
Public transportation, especially bus routes
and connections with neighboring
communities is an issue.
Rocklin is served by the Placer County Transit Agency
(PCTA), which offers bus service to and from
Sacramento, and the Amtrak Capitol Corridor train. In
2023, PCTA initiated an on-demand micro transit
service. At present, all the south Placer region’s on-
demand service areas are covered by micro transit
service. The Placer County Transportation Planning
Agency works with the transit providers and the public
to identify any transit needs that are not currently
being met. The 2024/2025 Unmet Needs Report states
that bus service in Rocklin is limited and better
connection with other cities is needed. More early
morning, late hours and Sunday routes are needed.
Rocklin residents are seen as having access
to economically strong and healthy
neighborhoods.
In 2023, the City of Rocklin conducted a National
Community Survey™ (The NCS™) that compared ten
facets of “livability” with national averages.
Approximately 90% of participants gave Rocklin a
positive rating for overall quality of life and the City received an 88% rating for overall economic health.
The members of the SVFHC agreed to focus on developing solutions to fair housing issues and inequity of opportunity that would:
464
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 152
1. Increase homeownership among under-represented groups;
2. Expand affordable rental opportunities; and
3. Focus on a range of equity issues in accessing opportunity.

City of Rocklin
Community Needs Survey
Conducted October 23, 2024 through December 5, 2024.
The City of Rocklin initiated outreach for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan process by conducting a survey of the needs of low - and moderate-income community residents and neighborhoods. The needs survey was advertised on the City’s website and social media; through emails to interested stakeholders; to members of the Roseville/Rocklin/Placer County Continuum of Care (CoC); and was announced during the Consolidated Plan public community meetings.
A link to the survey website was emailed to interested parties including recent CDBG recipient agencies and organizations representing youth, homeless persons, seniors, the Hispanic community, persons with mental illness, public health, persons with disabilities, veterans and victims of child abuse. The survey was originally planned to end in November, but was extended to December 5, 2024 to encourage additional participation.
Respondents
The City received 13 responses to the survey and ten respondents identified as Rocklin residents. Three indicated that they were social service providers. Due to the limited number of responses, the survey cannot be considered statistically significant. However, participants are primarily Rocklin residents and the survey results provide a valuable reflection of their opinions regarding needs in the community.
Needs Categories
Of the following needs categories, respondents indicated that the need for Community Services is the most significant need over the next five years. There was a tie for second place between Affordable Housing, Infrastructure Improvements for Low-income Neighborhoods and Neighborhood Improvement Programs. There was also a tie between Economic Development, Homeless Housing Programs and Community Facilities for third place.
When asked to rank activities that would have the most significant impact in the community, the top four responses received were (three-way tie for second place):
1. Community services
2. Affordable housing
Infrastructure Improvements for Lower-income Neighborhoods Neighborhood Improvement Programs
Within various needs categories, particip ants were asked to rate types of services as Great Need, Some Need, Little Need or No Need. Based on participant responses, the CDBG -eligible activities listed below are ranked as the highest need for low- and moderate-income residents and neighborhoods i n Rocklin.
Following the list are graphical representations of survey responses. 467
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan 155
Development of childcare centers and employment training for low - and moderate -income persons received the highest need ranking. Tied for second were public services for youth and seniors; in addition to affordable housing for seniors. More youth centers for low- and moderate-income youth and provision of substance use/mental health treatment tied for third place. It should be noted that activities receiving the lowest ranking were identified by many respondents as areas of need; however, they did not receive as many higher need scores as higher-ranking activities.

1 I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Rocklin is required by federal regulation (Section 24 of the Code of Federal Regulation, Part 91) to have a detailed Citizen Participation Plan, which contains the City's policies and procedures for public involvement in the Consolidated Plan process and the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. This Citizen Participation Plan must be available to the public.
A. Purpose
Federal regulations require that the Citizen Participation Plan both provide for and encourage public participation, emphasizing involvement by low-income persons - especially those living in low-income neighborhoods. The U.S. Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) expects the City to take appropriate actions to encourage the participation of minorities, persons who do not speak English, and persons with disabilities.
B. The Role of Lower-Income Persons
Federal regulations declare that the primary purpose of the programs covered by this Citizen Participation Plan is to improve communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and growing economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.
Since the amount of federal CDBG funds that the City receives each year from HUD is based upon the level of both poverty and substandard housing conditions in Rocklin, it is necessary that public participation involves lower-income residents who experience these conditions. Involvement by low - income res idents is encouraged at all stages of the process, including needs and activities determination as well as funding allocations.
The public participation process encourages the involvement of low - and moderate-income persons, residents of low - and moderate- income areas of the community, minorities, non -English speaking persons, and persons with disabilities.
c. The Consolidated Plan Process
The policies and procedures in this Citizen Participation Plan relate to several stages of action mentioned in federal regulation. In general, these stages or events include the following:
1. Identification of housing and community development needs of low- and moderate-income residents and neighborhoods.
2. Initially, and every five years thereafter, the development of a draft Five- Year Consolidated Plan.
3. Preparation of a draft Annual Action Plan outlining proposed use of funds.
4. Formal approval by elected officials of a final Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan.
5. Submit plan(s) for HUD review.
6. Amendments to the plan(s). On occasion during the year, it might be necessary to change 477
2 the use of the money already budgeted in an Annual Action Plan, or to change the priorities established in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. See Section 3: Amendments for the types of changes that are considered to be Substantial Amendments.
After a program year is complete, a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) must be drafted for public review and comment, and then submitted to HUD.
II. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
A. Citizen Participation Plan
The Citizen Participation Plan is designed to facilitate and encourage public participation in the Consolidated Plan process. In particular, the Citizen Participation Plan seeks to encourage the involvement of low-income persons.
Federal programs providing the funds covered by this Citizen Participation Plan require improved accountability of jurisdictions to the public. Below are the procedures for the adoption and any subsequent changes to its Consolidated Plan:
• Public notice published in The Placer Herald (local newspaper). If a notice in The Placer Herald is not possible due to time constraints or other reasons out of the control of the City, a legal notice will be published in another newspaper of general local circulation;
• Public Notice posted on the City's Community Development Block Grant website;
• E-mail notification to member agencies of the local Continuum of Care and comparable, local non-profit consortiums addressing the needs of low - and moderate-income persons and persons experiencing homelessness; faith- based organizations and other community - based organizations; the local housing authorities; and other local non- profit and government organizations;
• Public comment periods are 30 calendar days with the exception of the CAP ER. The 30- day period does not include the date of publication notice;
• During the public review and comment period, copies of the document will be available to the public, free of charge, within five days of a request. The document will be available for review at the following locations:
- The City of Rocklin Administration Building, (3970 Rocklin Road); - The City of Rocklin Community Development Block Grant website; and - The Rocklin Public Library (4890 Granite Drive).
Should the Public Library be closed for extended periods, the draft Consolidated Plan and/or draft Annual Action Plan may be posted in an alternative accessible location.
• A public hearing will be held before the Rocklin City Council.
• Adoption by a majority vote of the Rocklin City Council. 478
3 B. Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan
The Consolidated Plan is a five-year plan that identifies the needs of low- and moderate-income persons and areas of the City and sets forth a five-year strategy to address those needs.
The Annual Action Plan identifies the specific needs to be addressed each year based on the priorities established in the Consolidated Plan's five-year strategy. The following steps outline the opportunities for public involvement in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan:
1. Preparation
In order to identify the needs of low- and moderate-income persons and areas of the City, priorities must be set in order to decide which needs should receive more attention and resources than other needs. In order to solicit community input, which is essential to determining these needs and priorities, the City will:
• Consult with local public agencies that assist low - and moderate-income persons and areas, including City staff, neighboring local governments, and regional agencies.
• Consult with private agencies, including local non-profit service providers and advocates such as the local public housing agency, health agencies, homeless service providers, non- profit housing developers, social service agencies (including those focusing on services to children, the elderly, persons with disabilities, person with HIV/AIDS, persons with substance abuse problems, etc.).
• Encourage citizen participation by consideration of alternative public involvement techniques and/or quantitative measurements.
• Publicly notify the community that CDBG funding may be available and conduct a public meeting to solicit input on needs and priorities for the Consolidated Plan and/or the Annual Action Plan.
• Publicly notice a 30- day review and comment period where a complete draft of the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan will be made available to the public.
• Publicly notice and conduct a public hearing before the City Council, following the review and comment period and prior to the adoption of the Consolidated Plan and/or the Annual Action Plan.
2. Adoption
As noted above, the City will provide several opportunities for citizen involvement in the Consolidated Plan prior to adoption. These include:
• Published notice of a public meeting in the local newspaper, The Placer Herald (or other newspaper of general local circulation) and on the City's Community Development Block Grant's website.
479
4 • E-mail notification to the local Continuum of Care or other comparable, local non- profit consortium; faith- based organizations and other community -based organizations; and other local non- profit and government organizations serving low - and moderateincome persons.
• A public notice announcing the 30- day review and comment period and public hearing date for the draft Consolidated Plan and/or draft Annual Action Plan in The Placer Herald (or other newspaper of general local circulation), at the City's Administration Building and on the City's website. The notice will list the locations where the document(s) will be available for review. The notice will be posted prior to the start of the comment period.
The draft Consolidated Plan and/or draft Annual Action Plan will be available at the following locations:
- The City of Rocklin Administration Building(3970 Rocklin Road); - The City of Rocklin's Community Development Block Grant website; and - The Rocklin Public Library (4890 Granite Drive).
Should the Rocklin Public Library be closed for extended periods, the draft Consolidated Plan and/or draft Annual Action Plan may be posted in an alternative accessible location.
The draft Consolidated Plan and/or draft Annual Action Plan will be made accessible to persons with disabilities upon request. In addition, a reasonable number of free copies will be provided to citizens or groups requesting copies of the document(s).
• In preparing the final Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, careful consideration will be given to all comments and views expressed by the public, whether given as verbal or written testimony at the public hearing or submitted in writing during the review and comment period. The final documents will have a section that presents all comments and explains why any comments were not accepted.
• At the end of the 30-day comment period, the Rocklin City Council will consider adoption of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. The documents will be adopted by the majority vote of the Rocklin City Council at a publicly noticed meeting.
3. Amendments
The Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan will be amended any time there is a change in one of the priorities presented on the HUD-required Priority Table; a change in the use of money to an activity not mentioned in the final Annual Action Plan; the addition of funds from any program covered by the Consolidated Plan not previously described in the Action Plan (including program income, reimbursements, repayment, recaptures, or reallocations f rom HUD) or a change in the purpose, location, scope, or beneficiaries of an activity (described more fully below). The public will be notified whenever there is a "Substantial Amendment" as defined below:
Consolidated Plan Substantial Amendments:
• Changing the priorities contained in the five-Year Consolidated Plan; or the 480
5 addition of a new project
Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendments:
• Adding an activity
• A change in the purpose, location, scope or beneficiaries of an activity:
- The Activity will no longer principally benefit the targeted population as identified in the Action Plan (e.g. residents of X neighborhood instead of Y neighborhood).
- The activity will no longer address the low - and moderate-income need identified in the Annual Action Plan or the activity ceases to address the elimination of slums and blight as identified in the Action Plan.
- The activity location of an area- benefiting activity changes so that the completed activity will principally serve beneficiaries other than those originally intended. - The scope of the activity has increased to the point where its completion with project funds would result in the inability to carry out another approved activity, or would necessitate reducing the scope of another activity to a point where it would not accomplish its intended purpose.
• A change in the use of CDBG funding, of more than 15 percent of the total annual grant amount, from one activity to another (i.e.: "reprogramming" of CDBG funds).
• Increasing or reducing the amount allocated to an activity by more than 50 percent.
There must be reasonable notice of a proposed Substantial Amendment so that residents will have an opportunity to review it and comment on it. Notice will be made according to the procedures described earlier in this Citizen Participation Plan, with the addition of the following procedures specifically for Substantial Amendments:
• There will be notification of and availability of a proposed Substantial Amendment before there is a public hearing to act on the Amendment.
• A written description of the proposed Substantial Amendment will be made available to the public at no cost within five working days of a request. Also, copies will be available at the locations indicated in this Citizen Participation Plan under "Public Access to Information".
• There will be a public hearing regarding the proposed Substantial Amendment.
This public hearing will not take place until the public has had 30 days to review the proposed Substantial Amendment.
• In preparing a final Substantial Amendment, careful consideration will be given to all comments and views expressed by the public, whether given as verbal testimony at the public hearing or submitted in writing during the review and comment period. The final Substantial Amendment will provide a comment section which will include all comments, as well as responses. 481
6 Special Circumstance Amendments
The City reserves the authority to request a waiver of Citizen Participation Plan requirements in the event of guidance or waivers issued by HUD. In the event that HUD issues guidance or waivers that affect citizen participation in the planning process, City Staff will attempt to provide as much notice as possible while still complying with the guidance or waiver received from HUD.
Non-Substantial Amendments to the Annual Action Plan - Definition and Treatment
Minor edits to the plan, such as updating contact information or proportional changes to estimated allocations in an Annual Action Plan based on actual allocations, will not constitute a "Substantial Amendment", and therefore, will not be released for public review and comment.
C. Consolidated Annual Performance Report
Every year, the City of Rocklin must submit to HUD a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) within 90 days of the close of the program year. In general, the CAPER must describe how funds were actually used and the extent to which these funds were used for activities that benefited low - and moderate- income people. The following steps outline the opportunities for public involvement in the CAPER:
• Public notice will be made according to the procedures described in section III. Public Notice.
The public notice will identify a 15-day review and comment period for the CAPER.
• During the 15-day public review period, the document will be available for review at the following locations in Rocklin:
• The City of Rocklin Administration Building (3970 Rocklin Road); • The City of Rocklin's Community Development Block Grant website; and • The Rocklin Public Library (4890 Granite Drive).
Should the Public Library be closed for extended periods, the draft Consolidated Plan and/or draft Annual Action Plan may be posted in an alternative accessible location.
• Careful consideration will be given to all written comments submitted by the public. These comments will be addressed in the CAPER.
The CAPER may be presented to the Rocklin City Council for review and/or approval but is not required by HUD
Ill. PUBLIC NOTICE
A. Public Notice Requirements
There shall be advanced public notice once a federally required document is available, such as the Proposed Annual Action Plan, Five-Year Consolidated Plan, any proposed Substantial Amendment to the Action Plan or Consolidated Plan and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
482
7 In addition, there shall be advanced public notice of all public hearings and all public meetings such as the City Council and other City committee and commission meetings relating to the funds or planning process covered by this Citizen Participation Plan.
B. "Adequate" Public Notice
Adequate advance notice is considered "timely" if given with enough "lead-time" for the public to take informed action. The amount of lead- time can vary, depending on the event. The content of notices will give residents a clear understanding of the announced issue.
C. Forms of Public Notice
The City of Rocklin will ensure adequate advance notice of all public meetings and hearings. Adequate noticing includes doing all of the following:
• Publishing notices in The Placer Herald (or other newspaper of general local circulation) at least 14 days prior to the public meetings and hearings;

IV. PUBLIC MEETINGS
Public meetings are required by federal regulation in order to obtain the public's views and to provide the public with the City's responses to public questions and proposals.
Federal regulations require the City to conduct a minimum of two public meetings at different stages of the grant process, including at least one public hearing during development of the Consolidated Plan and/or the Annual Action Plan. Public meetings are held to address topics such as housing and community development needs, actions for affirmatively furthering fair housing, and review program performance. The Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan will be presented for public comment at a public hearing before the City of Rocklin City Council prior to adoption and submission to HUD.
Public meetings will be held only after there has been adequate notice as described in the Public Notice section of this Citizen Participation Plan, including a legal notice in The Placer Herald (or another newspaper of general local circulation). Public hearings will usually be held in the evening at a time convenient to most residents, especially those who might benefit from the use of funds. Additional public meetings and workshops may be held during business hours.
Public meetings may be held at the Rocklin City Council Chambers, other City locations, or virtually, all of which are accessible by public transportation. During the Public Hearing process, all of these locations are accessible to people with disabilities, and the City may make every reasonable effort to accommodate people with disabilities when requests are made at least five working days prior to a hearing. 483

VI. HUD WAIVERS IN RESPONSE TO AN IMMINENT EMERGENCY
HUD regulations at 24 CFR 5.110 and 24 CFR 91.600 give HUD the authority to, upon determination of good cause and subject to statutory limitations, waive any provision of HUD regulations. In the event that HUD offers waivers of any requirements of the Citizen Participation Plan applicable to the City’s CDBG funding, the City may request to implement the waiver if it is to the benefit of low- and moderate-income residents or neighborhood.
484
9 VII. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

XI. GLOSSARY
Annual Action Plan: This document allocates one year's funding (entitlement and program income) to specific projects and activities for the CDBG program and serves as the City's application for CDBG funds. It is submitted to HUD 45 days prior to the start of the City's fiscal (24 CFR Part 91).
Program Year: The "program year" chosen by the City of Rocklin is July 1st through June 30th, which is the same as the City's fiscal year.
Citizen Participation Plan: This plan is prepared to facilitate and encourage public participation and involvement in the Consolidated Plan process and the City's CDBG program, especially by low and moderate-income persons. The plan identifies the public participation requirements as identified by federal regulations (24 CFR Part 91).
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program: This is a federal entitlement grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The program awards money directly to eligible localities throughout the nation to assist low and moderate-income households and neighborhoods. The grant program may be used for such activities as housing rehabilitation, affordable housing assistance, community services, and community development activities such as the construction or rehabilitation of community facilities and economic development.
Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER): This document reports on the progress in carrying out the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. The report is prepared annually by the City in accordance with federal regulations (24 CFR Part 91). It is due to HUD no later than 90 days after the end of the City's fiscal year (September 30th).
Consolidated Plan: This document sets forth the priorities, goals and strategies to address the needs of primarily low and moderate-income persons and areas in the City. It typically covers a five or three- year time period. It is submitted to HUD 45 days prior to the start of the City's fiscal year or no later than May 15th and is developed in accordance with federal regulations (24 CFR Part 91).
Consolidated Plan Documents: These include the Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
Low and Moderate-Income Households: These are households earning less than 80% of the area median income, adjusted for household size. These CDBG definitions should not be confused with those used in the federal Section 8 program or those used by the State of California.
486
11 Extremely Low-Income: Households with incomes less than or equal to 30% of the area median income, adjusted for household size.
Low-Income: Households with incomes above 30% and less than or equal to 50% of the area median income, adjusted for household size.
Moderate-Income: Households with incomes above 50% and less than or equal to 80% of the area median income, adjusted for household size.
Low and Moderate-Income Area: In general, a census tract(s) or block group(s) where 51% or more of the residents are low- or moderate-income household (incomes not exceeding 80 percent of the area median income adjusted by household size). If a CDBG grantee jurisdiction has no or very few areas in which 51% of residents are low- and moderate-income, HUD may allow an exception criterion when the area served is within the highest quartile of all areas within the jurisdiction of such city or county in terms of the degree of concentration of persons of low and moderate income. The City of Rocklin has received exception grantee status. However, this can change from year to year.
Median Family Income (MFI): HUD surveys major metropolitan areas annually to develop an index of median family income by household size. Most CDBG -funded activities and programs must primarily benefit low and moderate-income households.

Rocklin CDBG funding will support 25 youth in our Mentoring Program. Compassion Planet has 12 years of experience suppor ng youth through this program since we launched in 2012. We have supported 123 graduates with a success rate of 91.5%.
Success is measured by par cipants achieving sustainable employment, securing housing, and maintaining healthy independence two years a er gradua on.

Program goals in the first two months include culinary introduc on and food handling safety, farm-to-fork propaga on and care, introduc on to AI and content marke ng, construc on-related trades skills, etc. The program uses a Passport system that allows par cipants to document progress as they master new skills, and youth are paid for on-the-job training to develop employability skills. Personal development plans provide a roadmap for career goals and the steps to achieve them. Mentors and social workers regularly assess a youth’s progress in the program.
Our Mentoring Program services include:
● Personalized career plans and ac onable career goals set with a mentor ● Life skills training (financial management, communica on, health and nutri on, me management, etc)

3. Describe specifically how you would spend the funds and who (by tles or descrip on) would be conduc ng the ac vi es if funding would be used for staff costs. (Please note that you cannot use the funds for Management/Admin/Overhead).
Compassion Planet requests $25,000 to assist with on-the-job training and workforce development costs for 25 Rocklin youth in our Mentoring Program. Par cipa ng youth in our program spend 20-32 hours a week as paid interns. Their on-the-job training internships include workforce development training at over 10 training sites, weekly Compass classes, cer fica ons, training in the trades and tech, and weekly one-to-one mental health coaching.
The cost for youth to par cipate in the Mentoring Program is approximately $22,000 per year. CDBG funding will enhance Rocklin youth training s pends by providing $1,000 each for 25 par cipants in the program.
4. Iden fy the specific amount of your funding request. (Please keep in mind that the City can only spend 15% of the an cipated grant amount – roughly $42,750 +/- on services and we usually have requests from mul ple en es to consider in awarding of the funds).
$25,000
5. Describe how these services would fall under the Na onal Objec ves outlined in the NOFA and within the City’s Consolidated Plan Priority Needs (Sec on V: Strategic Plan, SP-25 Priority Needs 91.215(a)(2), h ps://www.rocklin.ca.us/post/2020-2024-con-plan) Compassion Planet’s Mentoring Program falls under the following local and na onal objec ves:
Na onal Objec ves:
● Benefit low and moderate-income persons
3 499
Rocklin Consolidated Plan Priority Needs:
● HM 2.1 : Reduce the risk of homelessness and reduce chronic homelessness ● CD 2.2 : Meet the needs of youth for services and enrichment programs ● CD 3.2 : Improve job skills and job readiness for low-income persons Compassion Planet serves youth transi oning out of foster care or the juvenile jus ce system. Nearly all of our youth are referred to us through our partner organiza ons or a government social services agency. These youth are at risk of homelessness due to unstable living situa ons and limited support systems. Without family support or financial stability, they struggle to find employment, secure housing, or manage their emo onal well-being.
Research shows that within four years of aging out of foster care:
● Up to 30% experience homelessness
● 51% remain unemployed
● 25% suffer from PTSD
● Nearly 70% will be incarcerated
We meet the needs of these youth through our Mentoring Program. We provide job skills and readiness training alongside other services and enrichment ac vi es such as life skills classes, mentoring, mental health counseling, and case management. The Mentoring Program reduces unemployment from 47% to 8.5%, measured two years a er program comple on. We have proven that with the support of our program, youth not only avoid homelessness but thrive as independent, contribu ng members of the community.
6. Describe how many individuals in the low or very low-income levels you expect to provide services to on a monthly and annual basis with the CDBG funds.
CDBG funds will be used to pay 25 Rocklin youth in the program who are low or very low-income for on-the-job training and internships.
7. Describe how you would ensure and document income levels and that Rocklin CDBG funds were only being used to provide services for Rocklin Residents.
Compassion Planet’s intake documenta on iden fies the city each youth resides in, and CDBG funding will support the costs associated with 25 program youth who live in Rocklin.
Since our incep on, the majority of our par cipants have resided in Rocklin. We an cipate serving 70+ youth in 2025, and based on our history 30-45 youth will be Rocklin Residents, so we es mated a lower number to ensure that we limit the CDBG funds to Rocklin 4 500
Residents. We also track both our current par cipants and graduates, so we will be able to keep tabs on where youth reside.
Upwards of 85% of our youth come from low-income or impoverished backgrounds. A majority also access AB-12 funds or live in Sec on 8 housing, which helps provide low-income housing assistance.
List who in your organiza on would be the primary contact for the grant including their full contact informa on (i.e., phone, e-mail, etc.).

KidsFirst’s R ental/Mortgage and Utility Assistance Program:
KidsFirst has a proven track record of successfully providing housing/emergency shelter and utility assistance through our Rental/Mortgage and Utility Assistance Program for over thirty-five years. In collaboration with AMI Housing and using City of Roseville funding, we have assisted numerous clients with one-time emergency support, enabling families to remain in their homes with utility services.
This program has been highly effective, as evidenced by the number of families it has helped and the positive feedback we have received.

Further, we work closely with our county partners and other community-based organizations, forming a strong support network.

Rocklin Community Development Block Grant Proposal
Requesting- $25,000 USD
Summary
We at the Roseville Corps are requesting Rocklin CDBG grant funding for the 2025-26 funding year. We propose to provide help to the community by assisting residents within the Rocklin city limits. Our goal is to come alongside individuals and families in our community to prevent homelessness due to job loss, emergency expenses, etc. We will be providing help to those who are currently experiencing homelessness and who are working to obtain permanent housing through deposit assistance and homeless prevention through rental assistance.
Agency History
The Salvation Army is a 501c3 agency and has been in existence since 1865. We serve local communities and provide social services to meet human needs worldwide. The Roseville Corps has assisted South Placer residents for over 50 years. In 2020, Forbes rated the Salvation Army as the 4 th top-
rated charity in the United States. We have a proven record of helping the community with homelessness, social services, and emergency disasters.
The Salvation Army prioritizes combating homelessness nationwide, which is accomplished through programs and services depending on the community’s specific needs. For example, in Rocklin, we utilize our services to keep those at risk of losing their residences in their homes.
Program Description
The Roseville Corps is located in the downtown Roseville area and is easily landmarked for those unfamiliar with the city. We coordinate with other agencies to avoid duplication of funding sources to avoid assisting clients by “double-dipping” funds. Our program is designed to keep people in their homes and prevent homelessness. Other agencies assist with serving the homeless community, but our sole mission is to keep residents housed. All clients assisted are South Placer residents and are vetted by verifying lease/mortgage statements.
We use a database program, Wellsky, across all Salvation Army social service programs. It tracks income levels, household size, race/ethnicity, and gender. Each client fills out an application and provides 513
2 documentation that is added to the database. We use Local Area Median Income guidelines when assessing qualifications for assistance.
This funding will help us provide rental and deposit assistance in the city of Rocklin. To qualify for rental assistance, clients will need to provide the following:
1)A three day Pay-or Quit Notice
2)An unexpected expense (ex: auto repair, home repair, medical bill or loss of employment) 3)Proof of income
For deposit assistance, the client must provide the following:
1)An acceptance letter from the property manager
2)Proof of Income
Our goal is to reach out to individuals and families in our community to prevent homelessness due to unforeseen emergency expenses and aid those experiencing homelessness and are working to obtain permanent housing. Sometimes the problem isn’t a hardship, but rather their money management skills.
Clients who show repetitive financial need are provided with financial management class information on top of their service.
Program Funding
The Salvation Army and other grants administered by the City of Roseville currently fund our assistance programs. This is a year-round program that is ready to receive funding if awarded. The current grants The Roseville Corps receives as well for the past three years are below. If receiving funding, please direct payments to:

Roseville Ca, 95678
Kristine Faelz, Housing Analyst, CDBG- [email protected] Suzanne Acrell, Housing Analyst, HPRR- [email protected] The Homeless Prevention program has been underway since 2020. Services that utilize this funding must be completed by June 30th of the fiscal year. All funds awarded will be distributed by June 30th of the fiscal year. All funding is used for client assistance and is dispersed to clients based on need. Clients are screened using HUD income guideline for the Sacramento-Roseville-Arden-Arcade, CA HUD Metro FMR Area. To ensure clients are residents of Rocklin, documentation of permanent residence must be provided. Client assistance pertains to rental and deposit assistance. If awarded, we will utilize $15,000.00 for rental assistance and $10,000.00 for deposit assistance. To ensure payments of funding, the Roseville Corps will be submitting an invoice for payment and providing quarterly reports to the Rocklin Housing Department.
Total Amount Proposed: $25,000.00 USD
Rental Assistance- $15,000.00 USD, max assistance of $1000.00 - 15 individuals annually
Deposit Assistance- $10,000.00 USD, mas assistance of $1000.00 - 10 individuals annually
We can accept a lesser grant amount. However, it would significantly reduce the number of households we can assist. Grant support is a significant source of funding for the Roseville Corps. We have recently seen an increase in the cost of living. This includes rent. We may need to increase the amounts we are currently issuing to close the financial gap that causes the need for assistance.
Collaborative Efforts
Our social services staff works with clients to assess individual needs and, if necessary, refer clients to other local agencies such as The Gathering Inn, ProjectGo, Saint Vincent De Paul, and KidsFirst. We also receive clients referred to us by other community agencies such as schools and churches, who work alongside The Salvation Army to identify families with needs and meet the criteria for support.
V olunteers work in the social services environment, sorting food donations, preparing food boxes, and serving the community through our food pantry. They also support our Emergency Disaster Services’ mobile kitchen. V olunteers augment our kitchen staff to assist with our community meal service.
V olunteers also help us through their janitorial and facility maintenance work. Our children’s programs, TEAMS and Troops, are supported by volunteers. Our volunteer network allows us to reduce staffing costs and direct funding to programs to address the community’s needs.

Funding Request: City of Rocklin Community Development Block Grant Program Year 2025 January 2025 Page 1 of 4 Project Name: Meals On Wheels Request: $15,000 in Standard CDBG Funding for Program Year 2025 1. Organization Description: Seniors First is a 501c3 nonprofit corporation first established in 1971 as the Volunteer Bureau of Placer County. Its merger with Seniors First in 2007 established the organization as the largest senior service provider in Placer County. With a mission to provide long-term support and services to help Placer County older adults maintain their independence and thrive, Seniors First’s goals are to (1) educate and support seniors, caregivers, and loved ones of seniors; and (2) provide direct services and information about available community resources. Based in Auburn, Seniors First offers five major programs: Information & Assistance; Call Center; Nutrition; Transportation; Telephone Reassurance; and Assisted Living Placements. All services are provided across the western slope of Placer County. In FYE2024, over 159,000 individual services were provided to keep Placer seniors independent including 10,248 rides, 143,180 meals, 1,051 hours of telephone reassurance, 4,774 callers assisted with community resources, and other support to meet the needs of the fastest growing population in Placer County. 2. Program Description: Project Goal: Homebound seniors are healthy and food secure. Objective: Improve or maintain the health fragile seniors by providing nutritious, home delivered meals. Rocklin’s CDBG funding will support Seniors First’s Meals On Wheels (MOW)—an existing program. Specifically, funds will be used to purchase and distribute meals to Rocklin seniors. Senior citizens are the fastest growing food insecure population in the United States. They are the “hidden hungry”—those struggling to get by in their golden years. After a lifetime of hard work, households with an older adult find themselves with an impossible choice: to buy groceries or medical care. According to Meals On Wheels America, one in two seniors living alone lacks the income to pay for basic needs. Furthermore, the 2022 Hunger Trends study conducted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago for AARP, suggests that rising food prices now affect half of adults 50 and over. Older adults experiencing food insecurity can’t always get the healthy food they need. This makes them more likely to have chronic health conditions like asthma and diabetes. They may also experience mental health problems like anxiety and depression. With continued CDBG support from the City of Rocklin, Seniors First will provide five home-delivered meals per week to eligible, food insecure seniors in Rocklin. Meals will be delivered three times per week and will be a combination of fresh and frozen meals. Meals will be planned under a dietician's oversight, then prepared and packaged by Summit Food Services at the Placer County Probation Department kitchen facility. All meals will meet USDA Senior Nutrition 517
Funding Request: City of Rocklin Community Development Block Grant Program Year 2025 January 2025 Page 2 of 4 Guidelines. Meals are picked-up and safely transported by Seniors First staff to its Café hubs that are strategically located across the western slope of Placer County. Senior Cafés host Seniors First’s Congregate Meal Programs and are the deployment point for Meals On Wheels (MOW) home-deliveries and supplemental groceries. From there, carefully screened volunteers deliver the meals to participant homes. Staff and volunteers will also conduct wellness phone calls to check-in on each program participant. Seniors experiencing very-low food security will receive a monthly supplement of groceries. All services are provided free of charge to seniors. Seniors First’s Senior Nutrition Program has been in operation for 40 years. Our MOW component is one of more than 5,000 independent, community-based programs serving home-delivered meals across the country. Seniors First’s MOW is the only free meal-delivery program exclusively for seniors in Placer County. The program addresses food insecurity, which is a major contributor to poor health and chronic disease while providing a range of benefits to seniors, particularly to those who are homebound, have limited mobility or face challenges accessing nutritious meals. Key advantages of the program include consistent access to nutritional meals; regular interaction with volunteers delivering the meals; enhanced independence and prevention of costly care. The program can serve a senior for an entire year for about the same cost as just one day in a hospital or 10 days in a nursing home. 3. How funds will be spent: CDBG funding received from the City of Rocklin will be used to purchase and distribute meals for eligible Rocklin seniors. 4. Amount of CDBG funds requested: $15,000 This request represents less than 2% of Seniors First’s Senior Nutrition Program Budget of $898,550. Rocklin seniors represent 16% of MOW program participants. 5. Alignment with National Objectives: The proposed services are an eligible activity that fall under two of the three National Objectives: • Benefit to Low- and Moderate-Income Persons • Urgent Need The proposed services also align with the following priority needs and goals identified in the City of Rocklin’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan: • Non-Housing Community Development o CD2 Public services (Priority Level: High) § CD2.3: Meet the needs of seniors for basic nutrition and socialization. 6. Target Population: Describe how many individuals in the low or very low-income levels you expect to provide services to on a monthly and annual basis with the CDBG funds. The project will serve seniors residing in Rocklin who meet the following eligibility requirement:
518
Funding Request: City of Rocklin Community Development Block Grant Program Year 2025 January 2025 Page 3 of 4 i. 60 years of age or better, plus meet one of the following criteria: o Frail, elderly homebound or need help to leave their home o Unable to prepare meals or shop for themselves o Had a recent hospital stay or ongoing health problems o Live alone or with a caregiver. Overall, 166 Placer County seniors will be served by MOW, including 27 Rocklin seniors, with all funding sources. Specifically: • 27 Rocklin seniors X 253 meal service days = 6,831 meals delivered in Rocklin. • Of those served, an estimated 80% (n=22) served will be in the low to very low-income level. • An estimated 80% will be age 75 or older. 7. Method used to document income levels and expenditures to Rocklin residents: Funding received from the City of Rocklin is strictly managed to ensure that only residents of Rocklin are served by these funds. During the program’s eligibility screening and intake process, staff will verify that the client's home address falls within the City limits according to the Placer County GIS website. Age and income information is also ascertained from the applicant. Data is reviewed by Seniors First fiscal team to ensure accuracy in allocations, expenditures and invoicing. 8.

CITY OF ROCKLIN CDBG 2025/2026
PROPOSAL by ST VINCENT de PAUL SOCIETY
ROSEVILLE AREA CONFERENCE
1)Describe your organization (how long it has been in existence, the types of services you provide, location, is it a 501c3 or other type, etc.). The St Vincent de Paul Society, Roseville Area Conference (SVdP), was founded in August 1983, starting as a small Thrift Store and office providing free furniture, and financial assistance for rent and utilities to Roseville residents. In December 1983, the Dining Room began serving 40 - 50 free hot meals per day. In January 1984, the Food Locker provided groceries to approximately 200 households in its first month of operation. Over the past 41 years, SVDP has created many programs and services, adding an Urgent Care Medical Clinic, BAGS Home Delivery Program, and Rental & Utility Assistance. Our current program offerings are:
Food Locker Drive Thru Distribution
BAGS Home Delivery Program
St Vincent de Paul Dining Room
Rental & Utility Assistance Program
SMILES (School Backpack & Christmas Shop)
Seniors in Crisis
2) Describe the program you would be providing with Rocklin CDBG funds.
Please specify if this is a program that you have conducted previously (if so, when, where, for how long and with what sources of funding) or whether it is a brand new program.
SVDP would utilize funding to sustain the Rocklin BAGS Home Delivery Program currently in operation, into its third year. The BAGS Home Delivery Program was expanded into the City of Rocklin in November 2022, and is providing an essential service to many homebound elderly and disabled adults, with the delivery of groceries.
The program is funded for up to 85 low-income homebound seniors or disabled adults.
The BAGS Home Delivery Program has been in continuous operation in the City of Roseville since 2001 and in the City of Rocklin since 2022. Groceries are delivered monthly by volunteer teams. The quantity of groceries delivered is sufficient to prepare a minimum of nine (9) to twelve (12) nutritious meals. This program is intended to supplement the grocery budget for those homebound seniors and disabled adults who are living independently and are able to prepare their meals, but may struggle to shop for groceries on their own. As of January 2025, there are 53 clients enrolled in the Rocklin BAGS Home Delivery Program.
Many of these individuals experience food insecurity with income often insufficient to pay basic living expenses. Food insecurity is a significant national health problem and an under-recognized social determinant of health. Food insecurity results in 522
constrained dietary options and competing demands for limited resources, including postponement of medication refills or health visits.
In 2011, the overall program scope was enhanced to help our clients with certain medical diagnoses meet their specific dietary needs, such as diabetic clients receiving appropriate foods from a list prepared by a volunteer nutritionist. In the fall of 2023, SVDP partnered with USF School of Nursing & Health Professions interns to assess our annual survey program, assist our clients with nutrition assessment and ongoing referral to CalFresh where indicated.
Groceries provided include shelf-stable ingredients purchased with CDBG funding.
Shelf-stable items generally include items such as canned tuna, canned chicken, peanut butter, oats, black beans, peas, canned fruit, canned vegetables. Attempt is made to purchase small containers, easy open lids, low sugar, low salt content.
In addition to food purchased with grant funding, groceries are provided through the food locker such as cheese, milk, yogurt, lunchmeat, frozen meat, fresh produce (lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, onion, apples, grapes, oranges,) depending upon availability. Clients also receive bread, eggs, crackers, pastries, and dry goods.
SVDP also utilizes grant funding to purchases protein shakes and nonfood items such as Depends, incontinence pads and feminine hygiene pads.
The goals of the Rocklin BAGS Home Delivery Program are to increase food security and prevent hunger by providing ingredients to prepare nutritious meals, which help our clients live healthier, happier lives. By providing this service, the Rocklin BAGS Home Delivery Program, in collaboration with other community partners, also enables low-income homebound elderly and disabled adults the ability to continue to live independently.
Challenges such as economic uncertainty and food insecurity make the BAGS Home Delivery program a crucial addition to the services provided by St. Vincent de Paul Roseville. The program continuously evaluates and adapts food options according to the changing needs of the community, by conducting our food survey every 1-3 years.
The BAGS Home Delivery program not only addresses immediate hunger. The program also works towards long-term solutions for food insecurity. By providing a diverse range of nutritious options and fostering a supportive community, the program significantly impacts the lives of those in clients in need that we serve. 3) Describe specifically how you would spend the funds and who (by titles or description) would be conducting the activities if funding would be used for staff costs. (Please note that you cannot use the funds for Management / Admin / Overhead).
SVDP has established a relationship with Rocklin Grocery Outlet over several years supplying quarterly grocery purchases to the BAGS Home Delivery Program. SVdP has been purchasing for the Rocklin BAGS Home Delivery Program through this vendor since the programs’ inception and plans to continue to purchase through this vendor. 523
In addition, other purchases are made online through vendors such as Sams Club for the purpose of bulk spending and savings. Funds will be used to purchase quarterly shelf-stable and diagnosis appropriate foods from these vendors, as well as other local food and nonfood vendor sources where appropriate and cost effective in order to stretch funding dollars as far as possible.
$12,000 to be spent quarterly specifically for shelf-stable food items. $2,500 to be spent over the life of the grant for nonfood basic hygiene essentials such as Depends, incontinence pads and feminine hygiene
$2,000 to be spent on Case Management program cost
Case management provided by Rebecca Rush, Executive Director. Rebecca Rush has an educational background in Behavioral Health. Case management is provided as a program activity to each participant enrolled in the program.
Other staff and volunteer involvement - warehouse supervisor, administrative support, volunters and driver, fall under overhead and are not included in this request.
Warehouse supervisor and administrative support, volunteers and driver expend an approximate collective additional 36 hours per week supporting the home delivery program.
4) Identify the specific amount of your funding request. $12,000 Food Purchases - $3,000 per quarter
$2,500 Nonfood Purchases - $2,500
$2,000 Case management - $2,000
TOTAL REQUEST: $16,500
5) Describe how these services would fall under the National Objectives outlined in the NOFA.
The mission of St Vincent de Paul Society, Roseville Area Conference is to provide basic human services and programs to prevent hunger and homelessness By providing home delivery of groceries to the low-income homebound elderly and disabled adults in the Rocklin community, SVDP will continue to serve an urgent need to those City of Rocklin residents facing food insecurity. Through the application and contact process, as well as volunteer visits, referrals to community partners are provided as needed for further assistance. With the ability to sustain the program initiated in 2022, SVDP will maintain the ability to serve the individuals in great need of this essential service within the City of Rocklin.
Recertification occurs annually in January. In addition to recertification, in January 2024 survey was conducted for the purpose of collecting information regarding 3 areas -
524
1. Improve client satisfaction - by collecting feedback, we gain valuable insight into aspects of the program that are working well and what areas may need improvement.
This information allows us to make changes that will ultimately enhance the overall experience for our clients.
2. Understand client needs - By asking specific questions clients may share circumstances and food preferences that we can tailor to meet specific needs. This is especially important for those clients with dietary restrictions or food allergies.
3. Identify areas for improvement - This may include areas such as food preference options and meal delivery schedules to volunteer training and customer service.
By actively seeking feedback, we show clients that their opinions and experiences hold value. In the 2024 survey, preference questions regarding items were addressed, in addition to the following food security questions.
1. Are you receiving assistance through CalFresh, EBT?

City of Rocklin CDBG Proposal 2025-2026
Victim Services Program for Rocklin Residents
Organization Mission and History
Name: Stand Up Placer, Inc.
Description: Stand Up Placer’s mission is: Saving lives by empowering survivors and educating communities to stand up to domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. We are a 501c3 nonprofit that provides services to approximately 4,000 Placer County survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, human trafficking and their non-offending family members, and we offer community education around domestic/sexual violence and human trafficking to companies, agencies and schools.
We have provided services to survivors since 1978, and we offer victims fleeing life- threatening abuse the only confidential safe house located within Placer County. We offer a full array of services designed to allow survivors to rebuild their lives from a place of safety, whether they receive these services as residential clients or, like most survivors, through our service office in Roseville. Core services include advocacy, accompaniment, peer counseling, therapy, legal assistance, emergency shelter, and housing.
Program Information
Description of Program: Stand Up Placer is requesting $20,000 from the City of Rocklin CDBG Program to benefit low to moderate income Rocklin residents who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking as part of the agency’s Victim Services Program. This is an ongoing program with core funding provided by Cal OES Domestic Violence, Rape Crisis, and Human Trafficking Victim Assistance Programs. The agency has increased capacity by securing additional funding for over a decade from Roseville CDBG and Citizens’ Benefit Fund, and for several years by the Rocklin CDBG grants. Funders include Kaiser Permanente and private donors. The program is funded through the end of the current fiscal year with applications in process or to be released for the next fiscal year.
The Victim Services Program addresses the need for survivors of domestic/sexual violence and/or human trafficking to address their trauma, including mental and 528
Stand Up Placer, Inc. · 530.823.6224 · www.StandUpPlacer.org
physical health needs, support their individual process of healing, and reduce the risk of future violence in their lives. The services in this program include: crisis intervention; therapy for adults and children; individual and group peer counseling; assistance with accessing the human services support system; legal advocacy including help with preparing temporary restraining orders (TROs), divorce and custody paperwork, and court accompaniment; and hospital accompaniment and advocacy. Referral to the safe house is provided for those fleeing life-threatening danger.
Program Strategy: Domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking victims face significant safety needs, mental health issues due to their trauma, and many barriers to service. All agency staff and volunteers working directly with victims must successfully complete a 72- hour Crisis Intervention Training program as well as a job shadowing period before working solo with victims. During the pandemic, we began providing remote services. We have retained the remote option because it enhances accessibility. Services may be provided in-person, via telephone or video conferencing, or via telehealth applications depending on the clients’ needs and preferences.
• Crisis intervention allows victims to plan their immediate next steps to address their safety, housing, and mental health needs. Initial intake and screening for CDBG eligibility occurs during initial client interactions and is recorded in the program enrollment section of agency’s victim-services specific database, Apricot.
• Clinical therapy, provided under CDBG by agency staff offers survivors access to mental health care for their specific needs. Clinical Program staff include Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), Registered Associate MFTs, and MFT trainees. Because we operate a training program for MFT candidates seeking to gain clinical therapy hours toward graduation and/or licensure, the specific therapy staff may vary year to year. Stand Up Placer will provide relevant clinical program staff credentials upon request once the 2025-2026 year begins. Clients with specialty needs receive referrals for these needs, such as substance abuse or psychiatric care to community partners.
• Advocacy services help survivors to access the continuum of care within the community including basic medical care and fundamental needs, such as food, clothing, and housing. Legal advocacy supports both the immediate need for safety with restraining orders as well as assisting survivors with accessing long-term legal remedies for their situations. Collectively, this array of services helps to improve safety, reduce the impact of trauma on survivors’ mental health and that of their children, and reduces the risk of re- entering violent situations. We have found survivors achieve the most 529
Stand Up Placer, Inc. · 530.823.6224 · www.StandUpPlacer.org
successful outcomes when they are supported with culturally competent, trauma-informed care that honors their right to choose their own life goals and the best set of services to meet their unique needs.
Program Goals and Objectives: The Victim Services Program goals and objectives are as follows:
Goal 1: To increase access to services needed for recovery and resilience. • Objective a: To increase access to mental health services to enhance recovery and resilience.
• Objective b: To increase access to supportive programming to enhance recovery and resilience.
Goal 2: To reduce risk factors, enhance protective factors, and link to appropriate resources to prevent future incidents of violence.
• Objective a: To assess the immediate needs of victims. • Objective b: To increase personal safety and the perception of safety. • Objective c: To reduce the risk of future incidents of violence.
Outcomes: Stand Up Placer will share objective and subjective outcomes with the City of Rocklin. We will share general income, race/ethnicity, age, and gender demographic information. We will report the total number of Rocklin survivors served and the number of CDBG beneficiaries served for the following advocacy and therapy services:
• Shelter referrals
• Crisis counseling (in person crisis intervention, safety planning and social services advocacy)
• Therapy sessions (individual clinical therapy sessions) • Hotline calls
• Total Legal Services
o Temporary Restraining Orders
o Court Accompaniment
Stand Up Placer will also share survivor stories that demonstrate the personal impact that receiving services makes. Survivor stories are factual, but personally identifying information is altered to protect their safety and anonymity.
Funding Request, Use of Funds, and Staff:
Stand Up Placer is requesting $20,000 from the City of Rocklin CDBG Program to support the Victim Services Program. The budget request to the City of Rocklin reflects a portion of the wages and benefits for direct services staff who will provide the program services to Rocklin residents who are eligible beneficiaries of the CDBG 530
Stand Up Placer, Inc. · 530.823.6224 · www.StandUpPlacer.org
program. The funding for the Victim Services Program has remained flat, but the need in the community is increasing post-COVID. During a single weekend in July, 2024, we received 25 DVERT requests for assistance from local law enforcement.
Law enforcement makes these calls when they arrest a suspect for domestic violence. Prior to 2024, the average was about 2-3 calls per day. • Advocates perform crisis intervention, safety planning, advocacy, and accompaniment to victims according to their needs.
• Program Coordinators supervise advocates and provide direct services. They will bill time to the program only when they provide services to victims. • Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) and Registered Associate MFTs provide clinical therapy.
• The Clinical Program Manager provides mandated clinical supervision to marriage and family therapist interns and clinical therapy to victims. She will bill time only when providing therapy to victims and their children. • The Advocacy Program Manger manages the domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking staff in the service office and provides direct client services when needed. This individual will only bill time when they provide advocacy services to victims.
• No management or administrative time, or overhead costs will be billed to CDBG funds per national CDBG program rules.
The services will be provided at Stand Up Placer’s service offices in Roseville and/or on-scene at hospitals, law enforcement offices and court.
Alignment with National Objectives and Rocklin Consolidated Plan:
The Victim Services Program most closely aligns with the City’s Consolidated Plan Priority Need CD 2, Public Services. Although the proposal does not directly provide Emergency Shelter, clients are referred to the shelter program through the funded program . It aligns with the National Objectives of Benefit to Low and Moderate Income Persons and meeting Urgent Need (domestic violence).
Number of Low and Very Low Income Residents to Be Served:
Full funding of this request will allow us provide therapy services to approximately 20 additional survivors and crisis intervention and advocacy services to approximately 80 more Rocklin survivors annually than we would without funding from Rocklin CDBG.
Monthly client numbers vary due to fluctuations in the number of victims who present who are also CDBG-eligible Rocklin residents. We are requesting this amount to enable to continue to support to the city’s most vulnerable residents due to increasing need. If the City of Rocklin is able to support Stand up Placer at a lower amount, we would lower the services to be provided proportionately. At funding of $15,000, we would be able to provide therapy to 15 additional individuals and crisis 531
Stand Up Placer, Inc. · 530.823.6224 · www.StandUpPlacer.org
intervention and advocacy to 60. At funding of $10,000 we would provide therapy to 10 additional individuals, and crisis intervention and advocacy to 40. The included budget is based on full funding but can be adjusted as needed.
Population to be Served: The population to be served by the Victim Services Program with CDBG funding is low income Rocklin residents suffering from the effects of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking and their children. We offer these services to all survivors regardless of race/ethnicity, age, disability, gender/gender identity, sexual orientation, faith traditions, or income. Survivor demographics track along the general county population demographics, with a majority white population followed by Hispanic/Latino, with smaller percentages of Asian/Pacific Islander, African American/Black, multi-racial, and Native Americans.
Clients range in age from newborn to the elderly, but the majority of clients are aged 25-44. However, sexual assault clients are disproportionately children and transition- aged youth.
Approximately 90% of all victims we serve annually fall into the extremely low, very low, low, and moderate Area Median Income brackets established by HUD for our region. Approximately 50% of low and moderate income clients fall into the extremely low income bracket. Some come to Stand Up Placer with low income status, and others fall into poverty or financial distress by fleeing their dangerous living situations or because of their trauma.
Documentation:
Stand Up Placer documents program enrollments and services in the agency’s HMIS- comparable database, Apricot. Because the program is based on urgent safety needs, victims of domestic violence are presumed eligible under CDBG guidelines; however, we will only consider Rocklin residents to be eligible CDBG beneficiaries if they provide residency, income, and racial demographic information. Survivors are not required to provide information to receive services due to the nature of their trauma.

The Gathering Inn
Proposal to: City of Rocklin Community Development Block Grant Program Year 2025
[email protected]
January 24, 2025
The Gathering Inn respec�ully requests considera�on of Community Development Block Grant funding to support its efforts of serving people experiencing homelessness in Placer County, par�cularly those from Rocklin as their last place of residence.
Organiza�onal Descrip�on
Celebra�ng its 20th year of opera�on, The Gathering Inn (TGI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit offering a complete con�nuum of housing and suppor�ve services for people experiencing homelessness:
Emergency Shelter; Permanent Suppor�ve Housing; Medical Respite Care; Homeless Preven�on/Rapid Re-housing; housing placement; comprehensive support services; educa�on and training; and post housing follow-up.
TGI started opera�ons in 2004 as a winter only nomadic shelter serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness. A�er three short years, TGI evolved into a year-round program and is now a mul�-faceted organiza�on serving people experiencing homelessness in 13 different loca�ons in the Greater Sacramento Region. Our comprehensive suite of services addresses the wide range of factors that contribute to one’s experience of homelessness. Successful program outcomes are made possible through our trained and dedicated staff, the generosity of our donors, and our partnerships with local government and healthcare providers.
Program Descrip�on
TGI is seeking support for its Behavioral Health Program. In collabora�on with Whole Wellness Therapy (WWT), TGI's Behavioral Health Program services are provided through in-person and online sessions and support front-line case managers through collabora�ve case management mee�ngs. Services have been expanded by adding interns to the team, supervised by Isaac Smith. These services include:
- Therapy for individuals, couples, families and groups. - Weekly collabora�ve case-management mee�ngs with TGI staff and/or staff trainings. - Clinical supervision for clinical staff, including up to 2 intern(s). - Facilita�on of 8-week Mindfulness-Based Problem Solving Therapy Groups: this is a good entry point for guests who may not be ready to seek individual support. Case managers have reported a decrease in behavioral issues from those who have par�cipated in these groups.
- Facilita�on of art therapy classes: this has been extremely well received by our guests who find it very therapeu�c in addressing past trauma.
535
TGI has been contrac�ng with behavioral health clinicians since 2015 to close the gap in access to services our guests o�en face with off-site providers. Both the owner and lead therapist with Whole Wellness Therapy served as case managers at TGI while pursuing their educa�on, giving them a unique perspec�ve on the needs of our guests. They understand the importance of trauma informed care and suppor�ve therapy to help prepare our guests to be successful once they atain permanent housing.
Use of Funding
Funding received will support our contract with Whole Wellness Therapy (WWT), who provide the actual services to our guests. Staff from WWT directly responsible for service provision are:
Isaac Smith, MAT , LCSW , NTP is a licensed clinical social worker, func�onal nutri�onal therapy prac��oner, and the owner of Whole Wellness Therapy. Over the last decade, Isaac has worked in a wide variety of se�ngs: from dialec�cal behavior therapy (DBT) agencies to hospice organiza�ons. Prior to founding Whole Wellness Therapy, Isaac worked with the University of California Davis Health to help them build and launch their substance use disorder treatment program as well as their Collabora�ve Care program, which focuses on trea�ng chronic depression and anxiety in older adults. Isaac also oversees interns from local colleges who are comple�ng their prac�cum ac�vi�es at TGI in pursuit of licensure. htps://www.wholewellnesstherapy.com/team-members/isaac-smith
Hannah Brooks, MA, LMFT is a licensed marriage and family therapist at Whole Wellness Therapy. Specialized training in Emo�on Focused Therapy (EFT), Atachment Therapy, Cogni�ve Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mo�va�onal Interviewing (MI), Indigenous Psychology, Mental Health First Aid, Trauma-Informed Care, and Crisis Interven�on. htps://www.wholewellnesstherapy.com/team-members/hannah-brooks
Paul Singh, LMFT is a licensed marriage and family therapist at Whole Wellness Therapy.
Experience working with teens (ages 12-18) since 2013, as well as experience with the clients experiencing homelessness and addic�on.
htps://www.wholewellnesstherapy.com/team-members/paul-singh
For these services, TGI is reques�ng $10,000. This would provide up to 50 hours of individual or group therapy for guests accessing services at any of TGI’s loca�ons that are from Rocklin. TGI loca�ons would include emergency shelters located in Roseville or Auburn, and our permanent suppor�ve housing on Aitken Dairy Road in Rocklin.
This program is a Public Service that falls under the Na�onal Objec�ve to benefit low- and moderate-income persons. All guests served by TGI are extremely or very low income.
Demographic informa�on is collected upon intake and is entered into the county HMIS system.
When guests are referred to TGI’s Behavioral Health Program, a service transac�on is entered into their HMIS profile each �me they access a service for tracking purposes.

PROPOSAL
GUIDANCE
1) Describe your organization (how long it has been in existence, the types of services you
provide,
location,
is
it
a
501c3
or
other
type,
etc.).
Upwards is the largest network of licensed home-based childcare providers in the United
States.
We
are
a
tech-powered
early-learning
childcare
marketplace
for
families,
providers,
employers,
and
municipalities
with
a
mission
to
solve
care
for
good.

Upwards was ranked within the top 6% of the Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Companies in America. and was honored as one of Inc’s Best Workplaces in 2023. Our growth is a testament to the fact that people from all over the country have joined our team
to
realize
our
vision
of
creating
a
world
where
every
family
has
access
to
childcare,
and
caregivers
thrive.
We
do
this
by
partnering
with
all
key
stakeholders
who
contribute
to
the
success
of
an
early
care
system:
childcare
providers,
families,
private
businesses,
and
public
government
entities.
For our vital childcare providers, Upwards provides backend toolsets and matching services
to
help
them
operate
more
efficiently,
become
financially
sound,
and
increase
job
satisfaction
and
longevity.
Upwards'
unparalleled,
real-time
matchmaking
technology
increases
successful
enrollments
and
reduces
administrative
burdens.
On
average,
providers
who
use
the
platform
earn
two
to
three
times
more
income
and
save
over
ten
hours
per
week
by
reducing
administrative
tasks.
Over
200,000
childcare
providers
ranging
from
home-based
childcare
and
centers

Upwards’
software
to
conduct
business.
Upwards also serves as a marketplace that provides easy-to-search, flexible care options

their
work
and
personal
needs.

Upwards also works with federal, state, and local governments to implement programs that
reach
underserved
populations.
Since
it
is
well-documented
that
children
who
receive
high-quality
early
education
are
more
likely
to
have
better
educational
and
career
outcomes,
municipalities
have
welcomed
the
innovation
Upwards
brings
to
their
current community program offerings. Our subsidy program for low-income families, UpLift, currently operates for the state of California and is making strides in applying technological tools to a previously antiquated system. Our community program, BOOST, coaches

in
underserved
areas.
3) Describe specifically how you would spend the funds and who (by titles or description)
would
be
conducting
the
activities
if
funding
would
be
used
for
staff
costs.
(Please
note
that
you
cannot
use
the
funds
for
Management/Admin/Overhead).
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding will be primarily allocated to
cover
the
salaries
and
benefits
of
key
program
staff
essential
to
operating
the
Boost
program.
This
funding
allows
the
Boost
team
to
concentrate
on
activities
that
help
539
in-home childcare providers grow and achieve sustainability. In addition to salaries, CDBG
funds
will
cover
benefits
such
as
healthcare
and
payroll
taxes
for
these
staff
members.
Upwards
will
match
the
CDBG
funding
by
covering
program
infrastructure
costs,
including
management
software,
marketing
materials,
translation
services,
and
program
supplies
tailored
specifically
to
meet
the
needs
of
childcare
providers
in
Rocklin.
Our
Boost
staff
are
composed
of
both
current
and
former
childcare
providers,
recruited
from
within
our
network
and
representing
both
center-based
and
home-based
backgrounds.
Their
hands-on
experience
and
understanding
of
the
unique
challenges
facing
childcare
providers
inform
and
strengthen
our
support
efforts.
This strategic use of CDBG funds will enable Boost to serve 5 childcare providers, help them
increase
their
revenues
by
20%,
and
create
2 new
jobs
for
low-
to
moderate-income
(LMI)
individuals.
By
investing
in
core
staff
and
essential
infrastructure
resources,
Boost
supports
the
long-term
success
of
both
providers
and
the
families
who
depend
on
their
services.

5) Describe how these services would fall under the National Objectives outlined in the NOFA
and
within
the
City’s
Consolidated
Plan
Priority
Needs
The BOOST program primarily benefits Low- to Moderate-Income (LMI) clientele and
increases
the
availability
and
accessibility
of
economic
opportunities
for
participating
microenterprise,
childcare
providers
with
less
than
5 employees.
The
program
is
limited
to
a
specific
target
population,
microenterprise
daycare
owners,
and
540
documentation of their income is recorded to ensure at least 51% of participants meet the
income
threshold.
There
is
also
a
job
retention
and
creation
component
to
the
program
which
is
tracked
among
all
participants.
The
BOOST
Program
foster
the
development
and
supports
the
expansion
of
microenterprise
childcare
providers
by
training
owners
sustainable
business
practices,
providing
the
technical
tools
to
maintain
that
sustainability
once
public
funding
is
removed,
and
using
21st
Century
technology
to
support
operational
expansion
and
capacity
building
that
leads
to
greater
access
to
quality,
affordable
childcare
for
the
entire
community.
BOOST's
business
and
technical
assistance
includes:
providing
direct
marketing
support
through
Upwards'
centralized
family
network
to
help
childcare
providers
access
new
parents;
family
matching
support
that
reduces
the
administrative
burden
on
microenterprise

allowing
them
to
focus
on
their
business
growth;
enrollment

According
to
the
U.S.
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
(HUD),
programs
like
BOOST
that
support
microenterprises
are
eligible
for
Community

(CDBG)
funding
under
the
Economic

for
Microenterprise
Assistance.
6) Describe how many individuals in the low or very low-income levels you expect to provide
services
to
on
a
monthly
and
annual
basis
with
the
CDBG
funds.
We aim to serve 5 in-home child care providers within the City of Rocklin. Our long-term
strategy
is
integral
to
the
sustainability
plan
for
the
12-month
BOOST
program,
which
focuses
on
empowering
childcare
providers
to
independently
sustain
and
strengthen
their
businesses.
The
program
equips
them
with
essential
knowledge,
tools,
and
a
solid
business
foundation,
ensuring
financial
durability.
This
approach
enables
the
program
to
continue
supporting
providers
and
families
long
after
the
grant
period
ends.
Our
commitment
is
reflected
in
the
proverb,
"Give
a
man
a
fish,
and
you
feed
him
for
a
day.
Teach
a
man
to
fish,
and
you
feed
him
for
a
lifetime."
The
BOOST
program
aims
to
make
childcare
providers
operationally
sustainable
within
the
first
year,
allowing
them
to
achieve
self-sufficiency
and
afford
operational
services
independently.
For
providers
who
remain
in
the
low-to-moderate
income
bracket
after
12 months,
our
services
will
continue
to
be
provided
at
no
cost.
7) Describe how you would ensure and document income levels and that Rocklin CDBG funds
were
only
being
used
to
provide

for
Rocklin
Residents.

The Boost program is designed to support microenterprise childcare providers, with
a
key
focus
on
ensuring
that
at
least
51%
of
participants
qualify
as
low-
to
moderate-income (LMI), as required by HUD's CDBG guidelines. However, based on previous participation trends, we anticipate that 100% of program participants will meet the
LMI
criteria.
The
income
eligibility
process
begins
with
the
completion
of
an
intake
application
that
records
each
participant's
household
size
and
annual
income.
Initially,
participants
self-certify
their
income,
which
is
then
followed
by
the
collection
of
supporting
documentation.
Required
documents
may
include
W-2
forms,
pay
stubs,
bank
statements,
or
tax
returns.
Care
Specialists
are
responsible
for
reviewing
these
documents
and
verifying
that
the
participants
meet
the
income
eligibility
criteria.
To
ensure
the
accuracy
of
self-reported
information,
discrepancies
between
self-certification
and
supporting
documentation
are
addressed
through
follow-up
procedures,
where
participants
may
be
required
to
submit
additional
evidence
or
clarifications.
This
thorough
review
process
ensures
that
all
participants
are
correctly
classified
according
to
CDBG
income
thresholds.
Once
income
eligibility
is
confirmed,
participants
proceed
with
the
program,
where
they
receive
tailored
business
support
and
technical
assistance.
In
addition
to
income
verification,
a
comprehensive
provider
profile
is
created
for
each
participant,
which
includes
proof
of
active
licensing,
background
checks,
and
inspection
reports.
Providers
are
also
assessed
on
operational
aspects,
such
as
personnel
rosters,
facility
conditions,
and
compliance
with
local
regulations.
These
steps
ensure
that
participants
are
fully
equipped
to
benefit
from
the
BOOST
program
while
meeting
program
standards.

Proposal/Application Request:
The project seeks approval for a Design Review (DR2024-0002) under the Citywide Design Review Objectives and Criteria and the Quarry District requirements to construct a 78-unit multifamily building, offering studio, one -bedroom, and two -bedroom apartments. Site amenities i nclude a pool, clubhouse, landscaped areas, bioretention basins, 156 parking spaces, and carports covering 78 of those spaces.
Project Location:
The parcel, located at 5345 South Grove Street, is a 2.71 -acre site. It is currently zoned Planned Development Residential (PD -R) with a General Plan designation of High Density Residential (HDR). The site is also designated Residential 24+ (R24+) in the Residential Minimum Overlay Zone (RMDO). The Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) is 010-270-008. The property includes an 816-square-foot single-family home built in 1964 (Figure 1). 546
Figure 1. Project Location
Project Applicant and Ownership:
The property owner is RK Properties and Development LLC, and the applicant is Akashdeep Grewal.
Planning Commission Hearing:
On March 18, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed project. Following staff and applicant presentations, a public hearing was held where four speakers raised concerns about the project’s density, height, traffic impacts, and neighborhood chan ges. The Commission voted 3 -2 to recommend approval to the City Council. A detailed summary of the Commission’s deliberations, actions, and staff responses to concerns raised by the public is provided in the Summary of Planning Commission Hearing and Action section.
Site Background/Characteristics:
The project is located southeast of the intersection of Winding Lane and South Grove Street.
The site is approximately 200 feet south of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and 300 feet southeast of the Rocklin Police Department . The 2.71-acre site is currently underdeveloped and includes an 816-square-foot single-family home that was built in 1964.
The project site is covered with annual grasslands and has oak trees along its edges.
Surrounding properties to the north and east are designated as Medium Density Residential (MDR), while properties to the south are designated as Medium -High Density Residential (MHDR). To the west of the project site, across South Grove Street, are single -family dwellings designated as Medium Density Residential under the Rocklin Civic Center General Development Plan. The project site itself is designated as High Density Residential (HDR).

General Plan and Zoning Compliance:
The site’s current General Plan designation is High Density Residential (HDR), with a minimum density requirement of 24 dwelling units per acre, as established by the RMDO.
The site is zoned Planned Development Residential (PD-R). Apartments are consistent with the HDR General Plan designation and a permitted use in the PD-R zone. With 78 dwelling units proposed on 2.71 acres, the project density is approximately 28 dwelling units per acre, which is consistent with both the minimum density requirements under the HDR designation (minimum of 15.5 dwelling units per acre) and the PD-R zoning / RMDO-R24+ overlay zoning (minimum density requirement of 24 dwelling units per acre) for this site.
Design Review Entitlement Review:
Pursuant to the Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC), Design Reviews are discretionary entitlements that provide an opportunity for the City and outside agencies to analyze proposed development, determine if the proposal is consistent with applicable land use designations, zoning, other applicable codes, as well as architectural and site design standards. Staff analyzes the site design; access, circulation, and parking; landscaping; walls and fences; architecture; and signage for compliance with the Citywide Design Review Criteria and other City codes and standards such as the provision of adequate on-site parking. Design Review is by and large the analysis of the aesthetics of a development and how it fits within the context of the surrounding area. Additionally, for those projects within Architectural Review Districts, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) reviews and recommends to the Planning Commission approval of a project that meets the minimum requirements for the specific District.
Historically, staff and the Planning Commission have been charged with reviewing development proposals as noted above, for consistency with land use, zoning, and design review guidelines, and for compatibility with surrounding development. When establishing land use and zoning designations on a broad scale, such as during the development or update of a City-wide General Plan, or on a slightly lesser scale during the development or update of a General Development Plan, overall factors such as land use balance, compatibility and fiscal considerations are analyzed and considered. Generally speaking, projects that involve only Design Review entitlements are analyzed specific to the items discussed in the above paragraph and do not involve an in-depth review of land use balance or fiscal considerations such as the desirability of a particular use in support of the overall long-term economic goals of the City.
Per RMC Section 17.72.070(C), any decision by the design review board (the ARC) or the City Council on a design review application shall be based on consideration of the following:
1. Relationship between the site design and the surrounding development, natural features and constraints and traffic flow;
2. Height, bulk and area;
3. Orientation of buildings and structures (with emphasis on energy consumption for heating, cooling, lighting);
4. Color scheme and materials;
5. Style, type and orientation of lighting;
6. Dimensions and placement of signs and graphics;
7. Landscaping (with emphasis on aesthetics, use of water and maintenance needs);
8. Parking design, including ingress and egress patterns; 549
9. Other design review criteria, which may be adopted from time to time by resolution of the council.
Design Review Evaluation:
General Design and Site Layout
The proposed project is an apartment community with 78 total units, as well as associated parking, landscape, and other site improvements. A mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom units are within one three-story building. These apartment units would range in size from 430 square feet for studio units to 1,020 square feet for two-bedroom units. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. Project Site Plan
550
Amenities
The outdoor amenities in the fenced in courtyard area include a swimming pool, spa, outdoor patio with seating, and a barbeque. Additional apartment amenities include an indoor lounge and fitness center, covered parking and electric vehicle charging. See Figure 4.
Figure 4. Project Rendering
Access and Circulation
Drive aisles, with a width of 25 feet, will provide internal access throughout the site.
Accessible pedestrian pathways are planned around the buildings. Full frontage improvements, including curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, are present along South Grove Street. The existing Class II bike lane and public sidewalks on South Grove Street will be maintained. See Figure 5.
551
Figure 5. Access Site Plan
Building Architecture
The project design is consistent with the City Design Review Guidelines and the Quarry Architectural District Guidelines. The project’s design incorporates rustic and vernacular elements reflecting the area's mining heritage, including sloped gable roofs, a varied stone base, and exposed wood accents at the gable ends. The stone-finished base is topped with wood-framed gable structures at the roofline. The project paint and material combine warm and cool tones with textured finishes with natural elements. See Figures 6 and 7. 552
Figure 6. Building Elevations
Figure 7. Building Elevation Materials
Building Height
The three-story apartment building is proposed at 40-feet high, which is within the 50-foot maximum building height allowed. Pursuant to RMC Section 17.72.070, residential buildings 553
with a height of greater than 30 feet, or more than two stories, are subject to the approving authority of the City Council.
Architectural Review Committee
The project is located within the Quarry Architectural District. According to the Architectural Guidelines, the Quarry District’s architecture is rustic and vernacular featuring granite, exposed wood elements and reminiscent of its mining heritage. On September 5, 2024, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) considered the architecture for the South Grove Street Apartments project. The ARC was supportive of the Project’s architecture and determined that it generally complied with the Quarry Architectural District requirements. The ARC recommended approval of the Project’s architecture with a 5-0 vote.
Parking
RMC Section 17.66.020 states that apartments shall provide one and one-half paved parking spaces for each one-bedroom unit, and two paved parking spaces for each unit with two or more bedrooms, plus 25 percent paved visitor parking spaces, further stipulating that at least one parking space per unit shall be covered.
The project parking requirements are as follows:
Table 3 – Project Parking Requirements
Project
Units
Rocklin Zoning Code
Req.
Rocklin Zoning Code Spaces
Req.
1 bedroom 39 1.5 spaces / unit 59 spaces
2+
bedroom
39 2 spaces / unit 78 spaces
Guest -- .25 spaces / unit 19 spaces
Total 78 -- 156
The project proposes a total of 156 parking spaces, which meets the minimum requirement set by the RMC. Of these, 78 spaces would be covered, satisfying the applicable standards.
Therefore, the project complies with the parking requirements of RMC Section 17.66.020.
Landscaping
The South Grove Street Apartments project includes a diverse selection of trees, shrubs, and groundcover to enhance seasonal interest and complement the site's scale. Boulders will be integrated into the planting areas to provide added interest and follow the theme of the surrounding development. Large canopy parking lot shade trees, vertical shrubs, and low groundcover plants will soften the transition as the user moves through the site. A landscape berm will be provided to screen cars and headlights from adjacent roadways. The landscape will be required to meet all Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) standards for water efficiency. See Figure 8.
554
Figure 8. Conceptual Landscape Plan
Fencing
A 6-foot solid wood cedar fence is planned for the north, east, and south perimeters of the apartment complex. In the areas within the front setback along South Grove Street, the fence will be 30 inches in height.
Signage
Two types of signage are proposed for this project: 1) a singular monument sign at the entry and 2) directional signage within the project site. The monument sign will be constructed using stone veneer, metal, and cement plaster, with colors that complement the building's exterior. See Figure 9 and 10.
555
Figure 9. Monument Sign
Figure 10. Directional Signage
Public Art
The project also includes a proposed mural on a portion of the north elevation. During the permit phase, the owner will collaborate with an artist to develop a design for submission to the City of Rocklin for review.
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Site:
The project site is Site 2 in the 2021-2029 Rocklin Housing Element and is designated for Lower Income, meaning the property is intended for individuals at 80 percent or less of the Area Median Income (AMI); the capacity of the site was estimated at 65 units. The project is proposed as market rate, so the project will not be deed restricted to mandate affordability; however, the Project’s inclusion of studio units, approximately 430 square feet in size is expected to provide a more affordable level of market rate housing.
The site is designated and zoned for residential use, aligning with the South Grove Street Apartments project proposal. The City has no mechanism to require the developer to provide affordable units to assist in achieving the City’s goals. However, staff continues to monitor the inventory of approved project sites. To further compliance with State Regional Housing 556
Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirements, the Residential Minimum Density Overlay (RMDO) Zone was adopted and became effective on January 14, 2025, as part of Program 10 of the Housing Element, creating additional opportunities for affordable housing.
Summary of Planning Commission Hearing and Action:
Summary of Planning Commission Hearing and Action:
While the Planning Commission (Commission) Hearing was referenced at the beginning of the report, this section provides a detailed summary of the Commission’s deliberations, actions, and staff responses to concerns raised by the public during the March 18, 2025 hearing. Following presentations by staff and a statement from the applicant team, the Commission opened the public hearing. Four members of the public provided comments on the Design Review request, expressing concerns about the project’s density and height, stop sign violations, increased traffic and intersection operations, and recent increases in growth in the area and resulting increases in traffic and changes to the neighborhood character. The Commission then closed the public hearing and began deliberations.
During deliberations, the Commission discussed the following:
1. Traffic operations at the intersection of South Grove Street and Winding Lane, with particular attention to the increase in traffic, the intersection design and the offset driveway at Oakview Drive to the Sierra Lakes Mobile Home Park, and concerns about stop sign violations.
2. Concerns regarding the project’s density, specifically the proposed building heights and their compatibility with surrounding properties, and questions about oak tree preservation on the project site.
The Commission voted 3-2 to recommend approval of the project to the City Council.
Staff’s Responses to Concerns:
Traffic
On March 26, 2025, staff met with the project traffic engineer to discuss and investigate the concerns raised during the hearing. Following this meeting, the project traffic engineer conducted further analysis and prepared an evaluation to address these traffic concerns. The evaluation includes a review of intersection operations, peak-hour signal warrant findings, collision analysis, and recommendations for the noted intersection. Per the analysis, the intersection is anticipated to operate efficiently and maintain a similar level of safety under its existing control and configuration with the proposed project. However, to mitigate concerns related to stop sign violations, the following signage and striping treatments are recommended and are included as conditions of approval:
1. Install red reflective strips on the existing stop sign posts.
2. Install W3-1 (Stop Ahead) signage on South Grove Street, along with corresponding “STOP AHEAD” pavement markings, in accordance with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD).
557
3. Grind existing northbound South Grove Street stop bar and install new 12” thermoplastic stop bar approximately 4-feet north of the existing stop bar to align with the asphalt on Oakview Drive.
Density
In 2005 the City initiated a planning effort to update the vision for development in the Downtown Rocklin Area. After review of conceptual versions of the new Downtown Plan in 2006, the City Council and the Planning Commission directed staff to incorporate key portions of the new Downtown Rocklin Plan concepts, including land use densities and intensities, into the 2012 Rocklin General Plan Update. As a part of the 2012 Rocklin General Plan Update effort, the project site was given a General Plan land use designation of Mixed Use.
At the time of the submission of the project application, the South Grove Street Apartments site was zoned Planned Development Residential (PD-R) and with a Mixed-Use General Plan land use designation, which has a density range of 10 to 40 units per acre. On January 14, 2025, the Residential Minimum Density Overlay (RMDO) Zone was adopted, pursuant to Program 10 of the Housing Element, at which point the land use designation was amended to High Density Residential (HDR) with a minimum density requirement of 15.5 units per acre and a zoning overlay of Residential, 24+ (RMDO-R24+). Since the zoning density is now more restrictive than the land use designation, the most restrictive standard was applied and the project site now has a minimum residential density of 24 units per acre.
The project’s site density has historically allowed for a multifamily apartment project with approximately 28 units per acre such as is being proposed. The Mixed-Use land use designation has remained unchanged, and both the current 2021-2029 and prior 2013-2021 Housing Elements of the Rocklin General Plan have consistently established a density range of 10 to 40 units per acre under this mixed-use designation. Accordingly, the proposed project’s density of approximately 28 units per acre aligns with the Rocklin General Plan and Housing Element, both in their current form and as previously established.
It is important to note that under the California Housing Accountability Act (Government Code Section 65589.5), local jurisdictions are generally prohibited from denying housing development projects or requiring lower densities if the proposed project complies with applicable objective standards. Exceptions to this prohibition may only be made if a jurisdiction finds that:
1. The project would have a specific, adverse impact on public health or safety; and
2. There is no feasible method to mitigate or avoid the impact other than disapproving or reducing the project’s density.
A “specific, adverse impact” must be a “significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable” threat, as defined in Government Code § 65589.5(j)(1)(A). 558
Safety
As part of the staff review, Planning staff coordinated with Fire and Police Department staff to assess the adequacy of the singular driveway during an emergency evacuation. During this review, the project applicant added emergency pedestrian access points to provide additional evacuation routes in the event of an emergency. The two pedestrian evacuation routes would be on South Grove Street and on Oakview Drive. Due to the number of units in the project, an additional vehicle access point was not mandated. The Transportation Impact Study prepared by Kimley-Horn provided the following analysis:
Vehicles may access the site via a proposed full-access driveway located on South Grove Street. According to the analysis, the driveway is expected to provide adequate operations and circulation for vehicles entering and exiting the site. The Rocklin Fire Department’s Civil Improvement Plan Standard stipulates that fire access roads must have an inside radius of 36 feet and an outside radius of 50 feet. The circulation pattern provided in the project site plan is deemed sufficient to accommodate emergency vehicle access and circulation for reasonably anticipated vehicle types.
Changes in Neighborhood Traffic and Character
The project site is one of the last few remaining undeveloped lots in the South Grove Street/Winding Lane/Lost Avenue/Kannasto Street neighborhood area, and while some of the existing larger developed lots in the area could potentially be further subdivided, there is little opportunity for additional growth and corresponding increases in traffic in the project area. The development of this project site does not set a precedent for future development patterns in the community.
With respect to neighborhood character, historically, the residential parcels in this area have been characterized by single story homes and large yards, although there are existing two- story apartment buildings immediately adjacent to, and south of, the project site. Unlike the existing two-story apartment buildings, and in an effort to make the scale of the project’s three-story building less imposing, the project includes a large structural setback so that the buildings are distanced away from the street. With this large setback and the project’s proposed landscaping, it is anticipated that the project site will blend into the community over time, as the tree canopy is established and matures.
Revisions Made Subsequent to the Planning Commission Hearing:
1. Following the Commission meeting, staff incorporated changes to the project conditions of approval, including adding a condition of approval to require the implementation of the arborist's recommendations for native tree protection. The arborist's recommendations were included as a note on the project plans, but for added clarity during the construction process, they have now been included as a condition of approval.
2. The project applicant has provided an additional project rendering to include the adjacent multi-story apartment buildings to help the City Council envision the project's design within the surrounding community (see Sheet 1.2 of Exhibit A to the Design Review Resolution).
559
3. The project applicant provided a memo from the project’s traffic engineer, Kimley- Horn, dated April 2, 2025, which is included as Attachment 1 to this staff report.
Recommendations from this memo have been incorporated as project conditions of approval.
Environmental Determination:
The project was determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines under Sections 15332 – Infill Development.
For a more in-depth discussion of the environmental evaluation and conclusion, please refer to the Notice of Exemption attached to the draft resolution approving said exemption.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve the South Grove Street Apartments, as proposed and conditioned.

Re: South Grove Street @ Winding Land/O akview Drive Intersection Evaluation 5345 South Grove Street Apartments
Rocklin, California
Date: April 2, 2025
The purpose of this memorandum is to supplement the Transportation Impact Study 1 completed for the
5345 South Grove Street Apartments (the “project”) by documenting the project’s vehicular volume effect on the South Grove Street intersection with Winding Lane/Oakview Drive.
We understand that the public has expressed concerns about the operations and safety of the South Grove Street intersection with Winding Lane/Oakview Drive. Public comments offered at the March 18, 2025, City of Rocklin Planning Commission Meeting included concerns that drivers are not obeying the existing all-way-stop control (AWSC) at this location and that the behavior will be exacerbated by the addition of the project. Additionally, there were concerns about the lack of visibility of Winding Lane from the stop bar at northbound South Grove Street.
This evaluation includes a review of intersection operations, peak-hour signal warrant findings, collision analysis, and recommendations for the noted intersection.
Intersection Operations
This operations analysis was completed in a manner consistent with the project’s Transportation Impact Study1. Peak-hour turning movement counts for the study intersection were collected on August 28, 2024. Traffic Counts are included in this memo as Attachment A. The proposed project trips were then added on top of the existing turning movement counts to establish a “plus project” scenario. Table 1 presents the intersection Level-of-Service (LOS) summary for the weekday AM, and weekday PM peak- hour with the project.
Table 1 – Level of Service Summary
As shown in Table 1, the project intersection is anticipated to operate acceptably at LOS A for both the AM and PM peak-hours with the project. Analysis data sheets are provided as Attachment B.

S Grove Street at Winding Land/Oakview Drive Intersection Evaluation April 2, 2025
Peak-Hour Signal Warrant
A planning level assessment of the need for traffic signalization was performed for the study intersection.
This evaluation was performed consistently with the peak-hour warrant methodologies noted in Section 4C of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), dated March 30, 2021.
The peak-hour signal warrant found that a traffic signal is not warranted at the study intersection in neither the weekday AM or PM peak-hours. Detailed results of this analysis are presented in Attachment C.
Collision Analysis
Collision data for the past 5-years (2020-2024) at the project intersection was reviewed by the City of Rocklin. The City identified the following:
There was one (1) collision in 2021
o Primary collision factor was unsafe speed resulting in a lane departure crash There was one (1) collision in 2022
o Primary collision factor was a construction crew failing to cover a hole in the roadway
Collision data for the past 5-years provided does not demonstrate safety concerns at the study intersection.
Recommendations
As shown in this intersection evaluation, the South Grove Street intersection with Winding Lane/Oakview Drive is anticipated to operate efficiently and at a similar level of safely under its existing control and configuration with the proposed project. However, to address concerns related to stop sign violations and lack of visibility of Winding Lane from the northbound South Grove Street approach, the following signage and striping treatments are recommended:
Install red reflective strips on the existing stop sign posts Install W3-1 (Stop Ahead) signage on South Grove Street and accompanying “STOP AHEAD” pavement markings in a manner consistent with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD)
Grind existing northbound South Grove Street stop bar and install new 12” thermoplastic stop bar approximately 4-feet north of the existing stop bar to align with the asphalt on Oakview Drive Attachments

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN
APPROVING A DESIGN REVIEW
(SOUTH GROVE STREET APARTMENTS / DR2024-0002)
The City Council of the City of Rocklin does resolve as follows:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Rocklin finds and determines that:
A. The Design Review (DR2024-0002) approves the site design, landscape, architectural designs, colors and materials for the South Grove Street Apartments project; a 78-unit apartment community on approximately 2.71 acres southeast of the intersection of Winding Lane and South Grove Street. The Assessor’s Parcel Number is 010-270-008.
B. A Notice of Exemption has been approved via City Council Resolution No.
PC-2025-XX.
C. The Planning Commission of the City of Rocklin recommended the project for approval on March 18, 2025 with a vote of 3-2.
D. The design of the site is compatible with surrounding development, natural features and constraints. The site design provides landscape areas, appropriate stormwater treatment and drainage, adequate and safe ingress and egress from the streets of the City of Rocklin (City), and appropriate internal circulation.
