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 (Action Plan) annually for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs.
This report recommends approval of the 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. Each year, the estimated entitlement amount is based on actuals received from the previous year. In 2023, ESG and HOME award amounts decreased, while CDBG and HOPWA awards increased from the previous year. Staff anticipates that the 2024 federal budget will be constant at 2023 funding levels.
Federal Funding
Entitlement Estimate 2023 Actual 2023 Estimate 2024
CDBG $4,500,000 $4,578,179 $4,600,000
ESG $406,700 $395,612 $395,000
HOME $2,820,000 $2,766,820 $2,700,000
HOPWA $1,744,700 $2,005,294 $2,000,000
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, 2024 entitlement estimates for CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA, estimated allocations by funding activity (Infrastructure, Housing, Public Service and Planning and Administration), examples of previously funded projects, and the Action Plan preparation and adoption schedule. SHRA staff continued throughout the year to work with City Staff and City Councilmembers to identify projects for funding. Once the list of draft projects was identified, this was presented to the City Council on May 9, 2023, for review and comment. The Commission held a noticed public meeting soliciting comments on the Action Plan on September 20, 2023, as required by HUD.
In addition to approval of the Action Plan, this report recommends the authority to award and execute a Five-Year Consolidated Plan consultant contract. The Consolidated Plan is a planning document that covers five years. The Consolidated Plan identifies the City’s housing, public service, and community development needs and describes a long-term strategy to meet those needs. The current
File ID: 2023-00924 10/10/2023 Discussion Item 1.
Consolidated Plan covers the years 2020-2024. The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan must be completed, approved by the governing board, and submitted to HUD by November 2024.
Policy Considerations: The proposed appropriation of funds for new and existing activities is 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 facilities infrastructure improvements, and planning activities.
Economic Impacts: None.
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 Title 14 California Code of Regulations (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 at Title 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 58, 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 to24 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. Review for infrastructure projects will be completed prior to undertaking any choice-limiting action.
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. The Consolidated Plan serves as a five-year planning document to direct investments that seek to improve health, nutrition, and social and economic sustainability.
File ID: 2023-00924 10/10/2023 Discussion Item 1.
Commission/Committee Action: Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission: At its September 20, 2023, meeting, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission reviewed the staff recommendation for this item. The votes were as follows:
AYES: AMANFOR, DUNCAN, MORGAN, RAMOS, ROSS, STAAJABU, STARKS NOES: NONE
ABSENT: GRIFFIN, NUNLEY, OSMANY, WOO
Rationale for Recommendation: As a condition of receiving 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 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 2024 One-Year Action Plan are based on estimated revenues. Exhibit A includes details regarding the proposed allocations.
LBE - M/WBE and Section 3 requirements: 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 Background Attachment 2
Since 1982, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (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 a greement between the City and County and its housing authorities. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the submission of two documents as part of the formula grant programs. These documents include the Five Year Consolidated Plan and annual One -Year Action Plan, which are described below. The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan was approved by the City Council on October 22, 2019 ( Resolution 2019-0408).
Consolidated Plan
A Consolidated Plan is required of any city, county , or state that receives federal block grant dollars for housing and comm unity development funding from HUD. The City of Sacramento receives four formula grants administered by SHRA: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment P artnerships Pro gram (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) , and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). The Consolidated Plan is a planning d ocument that identifies the County ’s housing, public service, and community development needs and describes a long -term strategy to meet those needs. The consolidated planning process is intended to achieve the following:
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 performance assessment.
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 Consolidated Plan’s goals and priorities for the City were developed through an extensive community engagement process and consultation with public agencies and organizations in the City. The activities the City will undertake to achieve the stated objectives are detailed in Exhibit A to the Resolution.
The next Five-Year Consolidated Plan period is 2025-2029. SHRA will issue a Request for Proposals ( RFP) to select a qualified consultant(s) to develop and assist with the administration of the Consolidated Plan.
Action Plan
The One-Year Action Plan (Plan) details the programs, activities, and budgets for the year beginning January 1 through December 31. The Plan describes the resources expected
2 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 objectives in the Consolidated Plan. In addition, staff recommends amendments to prior years’ Action Plans to allocate previous years’ unexpended capital reserve and program income to fund new activities. The Action Plan 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 Reports (CAPER). Throughou t the year, SHRA meets with City Departments and City Council Members to receive input on Action Plan activities. The Action Plan’s activity types and funding sources are summarized below:
CDBG Program
The CDBG program requires that each activity must meet one of three national objectives:
1) Benefit low and moderate-income persons using one of four subcategories: a) Low and Moderate Income (LMI), Area Benefit in a primarily residential census tract; b) LMI Clientele (homeless, seniors, etc.); c) Housing for LMI residents; d) Jobs for LMI residents; 2) Prevention or el imination of slums or blighted areas; and 3) Urgent Need.
Additionally, the activity must also be eligible and generally include the following: Public Facility/Infrastructure Improvements , Public Services , Acquisition, Clearance and Remediation Activitie s, Homeownership Assistance , and Planning and Environmental Studies.
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 co nstruction of new housing. Additionally, HOME funds are also used for the rehabilitation of existing housing.
Emergency Solutions Grant
The federal Emergency Solutions Grant program (ESG) provides funds for a variety of activities to address homelessness as authorized under the federal Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009. ESG funds may be used for five program components: street outreach, emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, rapid re -housing assistanc e, and administrative activities. Upon the Sacramento City Council’s approval of the Action, SHRA executes sub -recipient agreements for rapid re -housing and emergency shelter programs. Rapid re -housing services include housing search and placement, housin g 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 of 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 health treatment, nutritional services, job training and placement assistance, and assistance with daily living.
As a HOPWA recipient, SHRA is responsible for serving eligible individuals wi thin the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area (EMSA), a metropolitan area with more than 500,000
3 people and more than 2,000 persons living with HIV or AIDS. The eligible area f or HOPWA funds allocated to the City, includes Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, and E l Dorado counties. SHRA works with sub-recipients to provide services to HOPWA-eligible clients.
In 2024, the anticipated service providers include: 1) CARES Community Health (Sacramento), 2) Sunburst (Sacramento), 3) Volunteers of America (Sacramento), 4 ) Colonia San Martin (Sacramento), 5) Communicare (Yolo County), and 6) Sierra Foothills AIDS Foundation (El Dorado and Placer Counties). These organizations provide services, case management, and emergency shelter to individuals and families.
Infrastructure and Public Facilities 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 existi ng 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 pro vide 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 fa cility 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 larger projects in low- and moderate -income neighborhoods. The goal is to create a concentration of activity that generates strategic and vi sible 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 government 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 infrast ructure 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 i ncreased 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 c onstruction are not limited to low- and moderate-income areas and can be developed where it is most appropriate. Guidelines for investing in affordable housing rehabilitation and new construction activities were approved by the City Council separately as p art of SHRA’s Multifamily Lending and Mortgage Revenue Bond Policies.
4 Homeless Services
SHRA is part of the Continuum of Care Advisory board. It is committed to partnering with the City and Sacramento Steps Forward (SSF), the lead agency for the Continu um of Care (CoC). As such, SHRA is involved in discussions about the most effective methods to reach out to homeless persons and assess individual needs as part of ongoing coordination efforts. It is recognized within the Action Plan that the City has determined that 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 include supporting the continuation of the CoC homeless assistance system for individuals and families through the provision of emergency shelters, rapid re-housing/prevention services, permanent supportive housing services, and supportive services for low - and moderate-income individuals and those with special needs, including the homeless and persons living with HIV/AIDS.
As part of the 20 24 Action Plan, CDBG, ESG, and HOWPA fundi ng is expected to continue for established programs such as emergency shelters, rapid re -housing, and other actions related to addressing and preventing homelessness.
Public Services
An overall priority for CDBG is to increase self -sufficiency and economic opportunity for low- and moderate-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 the provision of vital services to the City’s most vulnerable populations, such as providing meals to seniors and services and emergency shelter to homeless households.
Fair Housing
SHRA (also on behalf of Folsom, Galt and Isleton), the City of Sacramento, the Coun ty of Sacramento, and the Cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, and Rancho Cordova, implement fair housing services through local partnerships. The result is the Renter’s Helpline, 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 the telephone and Internet. Other components include fair housing education and training for landlords, implicit b ias training, and investigation, testing, and litigation.
Regional Assessment of Fair Housing
A regional assessment of fair housing, or Analysis of Impediments (AI), was required to comply with the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Final Rule adopted by HUD on July 16, 2015. The rule require d HUD grant recipients to incorporate the purposes and policies of the Fair Housing Act into their planning processes. In 2016, the City authorized SHRA to enter into collaboration agreements with surrounding municipalities and public housing authorities to perform a regional AI. The AI identifies actions needed to overcome the effects of impediments to fair housing, which are incorporated into the Consolidated Plan. On June 10, 2021, HUD published in the Federal Register an Interim Final Rule (IFR) entitled Restoring Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Definitions and Certifications; HUD’s 2021 IFR requires program participants to submit certifications that they will affirmatively further fair housing in connection with their conso lidated plans,
5 annual action plans, and PHA plans. In order to support these certifications, the IFR creates a voluntary fair housing planning process. On February 9, 2023, HUD published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) entit led “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing”. The NPRM proposes to require grantees to complete an Equity Plan. When the NPRM is finalized, SHRA will amend the regional assessment of fair housing document to comply with the revised guidelines.

Exhibit A
City of Sacramento
2024 One-Year Action Plan and Previous Years' Reprogramming The following programs are listed on the pages below: CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA 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.
Definitions:
Reprogrammed Funds are made available when an activity has been cancelled, completed with cost savings, or funds are being moved to ensure timely expenditure. CDBG funds may also include prior years' capital reserve funds.
Program Income are funds generated by a grant-supported activity (e.g., loan repayment, property sale, etc.).
The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA), as the direct recipient of HUD funding, assumes the responsibility for environmental review, decision-making, and actions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). SHRA is also the lead agency for SHRA initiated projects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Environmental review records are on file at SHRA.
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 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (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.
