Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Since 1982, SHRA has managed and administered federal housing, public service, and community development funds on behalf of the City and County of Sacramento (City and County) and has served as the federal housing and community development staffing entity pursuant to a joint powers agreement between the City and County and its housing authorities. HUD requires the submission of the One-Year Action Plan annually for the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Emergency Solutions Grant, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS grant programs.
This report recommends approval of the 2023 One-Year Action Plan (Action Plan) and amendments to prior years’ Action Plans and requests authorization to submit the plan to HUD. The Action Plan outlines proposed priority activities, projects, and other actions for federally funded programs, including CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA. Staff anticipates that the 2023 federal budget will be constant at 2022 funding levels (Exhibit A). Each year, the estimated entitlement amount is based on actuals received from the previous year. In 2022, CDBG and ESG award amounts decreased, while HOME and HOPWA awards increased from the previous year.
Federal Funding
Entitlement Estimate 2022 Actual 2022 Estimate 2023
CDBG $4,839,133 $4,501,241 $4,500,000
ESG $421,643 $406,780 $406,700
HOME $2,517,795 $2,823,258 $2,820,000
HOPWA $1,498,551 $1,744,705 $1,744,700
SHRA held public meetings beginning in February to receive input from the public, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission (Commission) and the City Council. In February, workshops held reviewed CDBG objectives, eligibility requirements, 2023 entitlement estimates for CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA and estimated allocations by funding activity (Infrastructure, Housing, Public Service and Planning and Administration), examples of funded projects, and Action Plan preparation and adoption schedule. Once the list of draft projects was identified, this was presented to the City Council on June 14, 2022 for review and comment. A noticed public meeting soliciting comments on the Action Plan was held by the Commission on October 5, 2022 as required by HUD.
Policy Considerations: The proposed appropriation of funds for new and existing activities is City of Sacramento Page 2 of 4

consistent with the goals and objectives outlined in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan goals include assisting low- and moderate-income persons and areas with the following: housing, homeless facilities and services, public services, public facility, and infrastructure improvements, and planning activities.
Economic Impacts: Not applicable.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Commitment of funding for new projects that could result in a direct or indirect physical change to the environment is subject to environmental review under CEQA if the implementation of the projects is authorized as part of the budgeting process. The recommended actions are considered administrative or fiscal activities and do not constitute a commitment of funding to any of the projects identified in the Action Plan and therefore are not considered a project subject to CEQA pursuant to 14 CCR section 15378(b). Environmental review pursuant to CEQA will be completed prior to any project commitment. Activities identified in the Action Plan as public and supportive services, rental assistance, and program administration activities are not considered a project subject to CEQA pursuant to 14 CCR section 15378(b), and facility operations are exempt pursuant to 14 CCR section 15301. No further CEQA review is required for these activities.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): All new federally funded projects are subject to environmental review under the requirements of NEPA and HUD regulations, and review must be completed prior to any commitment of federal funds or choice limiting action. The recommended actions are considered administrative and planning activities and do not constitute a commitment of funding to any of the projects identified in the Action Plan, and therefore are exempt from NEPA pursuant to 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) sections
58.34(a)(1) and 58.34(a)(3). Activities identified in the Action Plan as program administration activities are exempt under NEPA pursuant to 24 CFR 58.34(a)(3), public services are exempt pursuant to 24 CFR 58.34(a)(4), and supportive services, facility operations, and tenant-based rental assistance are categorically excluded not subject to §58.5 pursuant to 24 CFR 58.35(b) (1),(2) and (3) and convert to exempt. No further NEPA review is required for these activities.
Sustainability: The proposed appropriation of funds for existing and new activities is consistent with the City’s Sustainability Master Plan’s Focus Area - Public Health and Nutrition by improving residents’ health and serves as a five-year planning document to direct investments that seek to improve health, nutrition, social and economic sustainability.
Commission/Committee Action: Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission: It is anticipated that at its October 5, 2022 meeting, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission will approve the staff recommendation for this item. Staff will notify the City Council in the event this does not occur.
Rationale for Recommendation: As a condition of the receipt of various federal grants provided through HUD, the regulations require the annual submittal of the One-Year Action Plan describing proposed activities and expenditures that meet the goals and priorities of the City of Sacramento. In general, the purpose of the activities funded is to revitalize lower-income neighborhoods and to assist City of Sacramento Page 3 of 4

disadvantaged populations by providing adequate public facilities and services and generating affordable housing opportunities. Newly funded capital improvement projects are scheduled to be implemented and completed within 18 months to comply with federal regulations governing the timely expenditure of funds in the current year.
Financial Considerations: The proposed allocations in the 2023 One-Year Action Plan are based on estimated revenues. Exhibit A includes details regarding the proposed program and project allocations.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Local Business Enterprise requirements do not apply to this report. Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise requirements and Section 3 apply to all activities to the greatest extent feasible and as required by federal funding and in accordance with the SHRA’s Section 3 Economic Opportunity Plan.

1 Attachment 2
Background
Since 1982, SHRA has managed and administered federal housing, public service, and community development funds on behalf of the City and County of Sacramento (City and County) and has served as the federal housing and community development staffing entity pursuant to an agreement between the City and County and its housing authorities.
Consolidated Plan
A Consolidated Plan is required of any city, county or state that receives federal block grant dollars for housing and community development funding from the HUD. The Sacramento Consolidated Plan is a joint City -County planning d ocument that identifies the City’s housing, public service, and community development needs and describes a long-term strategy to meet those needs. The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan was approved by the City Council and covers and provides the vision, goals and strategies for allocation of federal funds. Ongoing goals of the consolidated planning process include:
Promote citizen participation in the development of local priority needs benefiting low- and moderate- income persons.
Develop a series of One -Year Action Plans that will be the basis for assessment of performance.
Consult with public and private agencies to identify needs and appropriate actions required to address their needs.
The Consolidated Plan explains how and why federal HUD funding for housing and community development activities should be used based on identified local needs. The Consolidated Plan has three overarching goals to address community needs including:
1) Provide affordable housing, including for those with special needs; 2) Provide a suitable living environment through more livable and integrated neighborhoods; and 3) Expand economic opportunities, especially for low- and moderate-income persons. The activities the City will undertake to achieve the stated objectives are detailed in Exhibit A to the Resolution.
Action Plan
The purpose of the annual One-Year Action Plan is to update the Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan details proposed Community Development Block Grant (C DBG), HOME Program, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS (HOPWA), activities, and budgets for the 2023 calendar year. In addition, staff is recommending amendments to prior years’ Action Plans to allocate capital reserve and program income to fund new activities. It also provides the City with a basis for assessing its progress in meeting the goals of the Consolidated Plan through the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Rep orts (CAPER). The One -Year Action Plan describes the resources expected to be available in the coming program year from federal, nonfederal, and private sources. It includes a description of the activities that will be undertaken to meet the specific objec tives in the Consolidated Plan. Throughout the year, SHRA meets with City Departments, the City Manager’s Office and Council Members to receive input on Action Plan activities.
2 The Action Plan’s activity types and funding sources are summarized below:
Infrastructure and Public Facility Improvements
There is a continuing need in the City for infrastructure and public faci lity improvements to serve low -and moderate -income areas within neighborhoods that either have inadequate facilities or where exis ting facilities suffer from heavy use or deferred maintenance, leading to disrepair or the facility has reached the end of its useful life .
Capital improvement funding identified in the Action Plan strives for maximum leveraging opportunities in order to p rovide the greatest impact to residents. Supporting large infrastructure and public facility improvement projects benefiting low and moderate - income areas remains a key objective of the City’s CDBG Program.
Proposed Action Plan infrastructure and public facility improvement projects were identified through consultation with community organizations and City staff and were selected based on the ability for them to be completed in a timely manner, CDBG program eligibility, and current City of Sacramento priorities. The Action Plan recognizes the limited federal, state, and local funding, and strategically focuses funding on fewer, but larger projects in low - and moderate -income neighborhoods. The goal is to create a concentration of activity that generates st rategic and visible impacts which promote positive changes within the community.
Housing
The housing activities outlined in the Action Plan seek to support, increase and improve the multi-family housing stock, fund minor repairs to existing single -family homes, and provide decent and affordable housing to extremely low, low- and moderate -income individuals. SHRA’s ability to respond to difficult housing issues has been constrained in recent years due to the amount of entitlement grants from the federal go vernment and limited state and local funding. As a result, resources from CDBG have been consistently targeted over the Consolidated Planning period towards housing rehabilitation and in support of housing development. Additionally, efforts have been made to reduce mobility barriers for low - and moderate -income households by supporting infrastructure improvements along transit corridors in conjunction with housing development and community facilities in designated neighborhoods. This strategy is part of SHRA’s efforts to support equitable Transit -Oriented Development and is proven to lead to increased opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents to live closer to their place of work and enjoy greater interaction with their surrounding community and amenities.
To maximize fair housing choice, affordable housing rehabilitation and new construction are not limited to low- and moderate-income areas and can be developed where it is most appropriate. Guidelines for investing in affordable housing rehab ilitation and new construction activities were approved by the City Council separately as part of SHRA’s Multifamily Lending and Mortgage Revenue Bond Policies.
HOME Program
The HOME Program empowers grantees to design and implement affordable housing strategies to respond to locally determined needs. HOME funds, unlike CDBG, can be used for construction of new housing. Additionally, HOME funds are also used for the rehabilitation of existing housing.
3 Homeless Services
SHRA is part of the Continuum of Care Advisory board and is committed to partner with the City and Sacramento Steps Forward (SSF), the lead agency for the Continuum of Care (CoC). As such, SHRA is involved in discussions about the best methods to reach out to homeless persons and how to assess individual needs as part of ongoing coordination efforts. Additionally, the City has determined addressing homelessness is a high priority. SHRA continues to work with City staff on the most strategic use of federal funding for homeless services, including CDBG, HOPWA, and ESG to reflect and complement the broader commitments of the City to prevent and end homelessness.
Objectives to address homelessness in 2023 include: 1) supporting efforts to continue the CoC System for homeless assistance through the provision of emergency shelters, rapid re-housing/prevention services, and including housing for the chronically homeless; and 2) providing permanent supportive housing , and supportive services for low - and moderate-income persons and those with special needs, including the homeless and persons living with HIV/AIDS.
As part of the 20 23 Action Plan, CDBG, ESG, and HOWPA funding is expected to continue for established programs such as the emergency shelters, rapid re-housing and other actions related to the addressing and preventing homelessness.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES), Public Law 116 -136 was approved which made $5 billion in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Coronavirus (CV ) and $4 billion in Emergency Solu tions Grant (ESG) Coronavirus funds available to respond to the growing effects of the historic COVID-19 public health crisis on the community. HUD allocated funding in multiple rounds. The first round released in April included CDBG -CV1, ESG-CV1 and HOPWA supplemental. In June, the second round of ESG (ESG -CV2) was released followed in September with the third round of CDBG (CDBG -CV3); round two of CDBG -CV was directed to states. The first round of included CDBG -CV1, ESG-CV1 and HOPWA and the second round included ESG-CV2 and CDBG-CV3. All funds were allocated and the Action Plan was amended. In 20 21, $6,337,257 in ESG -CV2 funding was allocated towards a future Homekey project. The Vista Nueva Homekey project received $3,150,000 of ESG-CV2 funding. It has been determined that the remaining $2,003,933 is needed for the operation of the Emergency Br idge Housing shelter and Meadowview Navigation Center.
Emergency Solutions Grant
Upon approval of the Action Plan by the Sacramento City Council, SHRA will execute subrecipient agreements for rapid re -housing and emergency shelter programs. Rapid re-housing services include housing search and placement, housing stability case management, direct short -term rental assistance, rental application fees, security/utility deposits, and first/last months’ rent.
HOPWA
HOPWA provides housing assistance and related supportive services to low -income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. These include, but are not limited to, the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction o f housing units, costs for facility operations, rental assistance, and short -term payments to prevent homelessness.
Supportive services can include case management, substance abuse treatment, mental
4 health treatment, nutritional services, job training and placement assistance, and assistance with daily living. In addition to funding for activities outlined above, SHRA works with developers in order to create affordable HOPWA housing units as opportunities present themselves.
As a HOPWA recipient, SHRA h as the responsibility to serve eligible individuals within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area (EMSA) which is a metropolitan area with more than 500,000 people and more than 2,000 persons living with HIV or AIDS. For HOPWA funds allocated to the Ci ty, the eligible area includes Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, and El Dorado counties. SHRA works with sub-recipients to provide services to HOPWA-eligible clients. In 2023, the anticipate service providers include: 1) CARES Community Health (Sacramento); 2) C ommunicare (Yolo County); 3) Sierra Foothills AIDS Foundation (El Dorado and Placer Counties) ; 4) Sunburst (Sacramento) 5) Volunteers of America (Sacramento); and 6) Colonia San Martin (Sacramento). These organizations provide services, case management and emergency shelter to individuals and families.
Public Services
An overall priority for CDBG is to increase self -sufficiency and economic opportunity for low-income residents and individuals with special needs so that they can achieve a reasonable standard of living. The priority in the Consolidated Plan for the utilization of public service funding is to support vital services to the City’s most vulnerable populations, including as providing meals to seniors and the services and emergency shelter to homeless households.
Fair Housing
SHRA, the City and County of Sacramento, and the Cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove , Rancho Cordova, and Folsom implement fair housing services through local partnerships.
The result is the Renter’s Hotline, which serves as a central intake point to provide counseling, dispute resolution and fair housing services for Sacramento County residents in a housing crisis or dispute. Access is through telephone and the internet. Other components include fair housing education a nd training for landlords, and implicit bias training and Investigation/Testing/Litigation.
Regional Assessment of Fair Housing
The Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) is required to comply with the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Final Rule adopted by HUD on July 16, 2015. The rule requires HUD grant recipients incorporate the purposes and policies of the Fair Housing Act into their planning processes. To be compliant with HUD requirements, in 2023 an AFH must be developed and in 2024 the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan will be prepared and adopted by November. The current AFH was developed with regional partners and staff recommends continuing partnerships. Therefore, to develop a coordinated regional approach to addressing fair housing issues, including those that cross jurisdictional boundaries, staff is also requesting approval to work with the Cities of Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove, Folsom, Isleton, Galt, and the unincorporated County of Sacramento to hire a consultant to prepare an AFH, including the preparation and release of a Request for Proposals for a regional AFH.

Exhibit A: 2023 Action Plan
Exhibit A
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires a consolidated planning process for the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG); HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME); Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA); and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. This process consolidates multiple grant application requirements into a single submission. The concept of the Consolidated Plan was developed to further HUD's statutory goals through a collaborative process involving the community to establish a unified vision for future community development actions.
In addition, a description of other actions to further the Consolidated Plan strategies is required by HUD as part of the One-Year Action Plan application. These include the Public Housing Authority Administrative Plan, the Citizen Participation Plan, the Continuum of Care Plan, and AI. These documents, on file with the Agency Clerk, are incorporated into this staff report and the record by this reference.
The One-Year Action Plan, and amendments, are updates to the Consolidated Plan. A key component of the One-Year Action Plan is the allocation of the funds to proposed activities.
This portion of the plan describes activities the jurisdiction will undertake in the coming year, including geographic locations, funding allocations, and eligibility critieria. Proposed activities address the priority needs and specific objectives adopted by the City Council on October 13,2020.
