COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: RENÉ MENDEZ, CITY MANAGER
CHRISTOPHER A. CALLIHAN, CITY ATTORNEY
ADRIANA ROBLES, CITY ENGINEER/ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
TITLE: SANITARY SEWER RATE INCREASE
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
No action is required by the City Council.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On April 22, 2025, the City Council approved a resolution accepting the Sewer Rate Study, approving the Sewer Rate Schedule, and directing staff to distribute Proposition 218 Public Hearing Notices for proposed sanitary sewer rate increases with the public hearing to be held on June 17, 2025. Following the City Council’s action and distribution of the Proposition 218 Hearing Notices, during our review of the materials inaccuracies in some of the rates and rate categories were identified. In order to ensure the accuracy of the rates and rate categories and to clarify the process by which the City will receive protests to and objections to the proposed rate increase, a revised Sewer Rate Study, sewer rate schedule, and public hearing notices will be prepared and distributed. It is anticipated that the revised documents will be presented to the City Council on July 1, 2025, with a public hearing to be appropriately scheduled thereafter, depending on the direction and action of the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Salinas owns and operates a municipal sanitary sewer system (“sewer system”) that services residents and businesses within its service area. As discussed in the April 22, 2025, City Council Staff Report and attachments thereto, the sewer system is in need of improvements and upgrades to correct deficiencies so that the sewer system may remain operational and may continue to meet the needs of the system’s users. In order for the City to complete those improvements and upgrades, additional funding is needed; consequently, on April 22, 2025, the City Council initiated the process to increase the sewer rates, including accepting a sewer rate study, approving a sewer rate schedule, and distribution of Proposition 218 public hearing notices.
Following the City Council’s action and distribution of the public hearing notices, inaccuracies in some of the rates and rate categories were identified. In order to correct those inaccuracies, City Page | 2
staff initiated revisions to the rate study and rate schedule. As a result of this additional work on the rate study and rate schedule, it is recommended that the City Council not proceed with the increase to the sewer rates as proposed and recommended on April 22, 2025, and as described in the public hearing notices distributed following that action. Rather, it is recommended that the City Council consider a revised rate study and rate schedule at its July 1, 2025. If the City Council approves the revised rate study and rate schedule on July 1, 2025, updated public hearing notices will thereafter be distributed to the public informing them of the revised rates and of the process by which they may protest and/or object to the proposed rate increase.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
No.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Updating sewer rates is consistent with the City Council’s goals and strategies of Fiscal Responsibility, Service and Responsiveness, Economic Development, Housing Infrastructure, and Public Safety by investing in existing facilities and infrastructure which are necessary to allow for additional growth, including housing development and expansion of the City’s industrial base.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
Public Works Staff have consulted with DTA, the City’s sewer rate consultant, Wallace Group, the City’s consulting facilities engineer, and NHA Advisors, the City’s municipal finance advisor.
Public Works Staff has also worked closely with the Finance Department.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this Report.
ATTACHMENTS:
None.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Salinas (City) currently administers three federal HUD entitlement programs; 1) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), 2) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and 3) Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) which has assisted and improved numerous low and moderate-income households and neighborhoods in Salinas. For the City to remain eligible to receive CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding, the City must prepare and submit a FY 2025- 2029 Con Plan and a FY 2025-2026 AAP to HUD for approval. In addition, the City is also updating the ANRSA designation concurrently with the FY 2025-2029 Con Plan and FY 2025- 2026 AAP. The ANRSA designation will provide a valuable tool by allowing greater flexibility of HUD funding to be utilized in a specific targeted geographic area.

FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan
The City is currently operating under its HUD-approved FY 2020-2024 Con Plan, which covers the period from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2025. This plan was approved by the City Council on August 4, 2020. The FY 2025-2029 Con Plan, covering the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030, outlines the City's housing and community development needs and establishes a five-year strategic framework to address these needs through HUD entitlement funding, including CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. Additionally, the FY 2025-2029 Con Plan fulfills the minimum statutory requirements for CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding. The FY 2025-2029 Con Plan serves as the official application to HUD for CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding and includes the first year of the FY 2025-2026 AAP, which covers the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. This Con Plan was developed through a comprehensive and collaborative outreach process to engage the community in identifying housing and community development priorities. These efforts provided Page | 3
valuable insights into the actual housing needs of residents, as well as important socio-economic and demographic data that inform these planning processes and documents.
The following priorities were identified through the City’s outreach efforts:
High-Level Priority Needs
Affordable Rental Housing Opportunities
Assistance to Homeowners for Rehabilitation
Homeownership Opportunities
Enhanced Homeless Prevention, Services, and Facilities
Public Services
Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements
Economic Development
Planning and Administration
Goals and priorities for the FY 2025-2029 Con Plan were based on the following factors; 1) HUD activity eligibility, 2) community input and 3) City planning efforts which include:
Economic Development Element (2017)
Salinas Plan (2018)
Chinatown Revitalization Plan (2019)
Alisal Vibrancy Plan (2019)
Parks, Recreation & Libraries Master Plan (2019)
City of Salinas 2023-2031 Housing Element (2023)
Salinas Broadband Master Plan (2024)
FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan (AAP)
The FY 2025-2026 AAP describes proposed activities, projects, programs and funding amounts to be implemented with HUD CDBG, HOME and ESG from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The FY 2025-2026 AAP goals, priorities and proposed activities must be in alignment with the FY 2025- 2029 Con Plan. The City has been self-directing CDBG and ESG funds to eligible activities that meet the identified priorities of the Con Plan. The City will release a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for funds identified for the development of affordable housing. These funds are comprised of State of California and HOME grant funding. The most critical standard for rating and ranking HOME NOFA applications is activity eligibility and project readiness.
The FY 2025-2026 AAP includes HUD allocations and estimated Program Income (PI) in the amount of $2,179,417 (CDBG); $30,000 (CDBG PI); $791,387.44 (HOME); $170,000 (HOME PI) and $188,399 (ESG). The following tables summarize staff recommendations for the proposed FY 2025-2026 AAP project, activities, agencies and funding allocations for CDBG, HOME and ESG.

This approach will help ensure better alignment with expenditure deadlines and improve compliance with the timeliness ratio. Please refer to the FY 2025-2029 CON Plan & FY 2025-2026 AAP for a more detailed explanation of these backup projects. These projects include the following:
Alisal Neighborhood ADA sidewalk curb ramps – up to $550,000 Housing Services Program - up to $500,000
Environmental Remediation at Division Street Properties – up to $220,000 Sherwood Recreation Center Phase 4 – up to $500,000

Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (ANRSA) Designation Under CDBG, HUD offers a special tool to deliver focused revitalization activities through Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) regulations. To be designated as a NRSA, the targeted neighborhood must be a contiguous area and primarily residential. The area must also contain at least fifty-one (51) percent of low and moderate-income (LMI) households.
Communities with approved NRSA’s are offered enhanced flexibility in undertaking economic development, housing, and public services activities with CDBG funds within the NRSA. This flexibility is designed to promote innovative programs in economically disadvantaged areas of the community. The City’s ANRSA designation was last updated in 2020. As a result, the City is also updating its ANRSA designation concurrently with the FY 2025-2029 Con Plan. The ANRSA designation goals, strategies, objectives and performance measures were based off the following factors: 1) HUD activity eligibility, 2) community input and 3) goals and priorities of the Alisal Vibrancy Plan. Benefits of a HUD approved ANRSA designation can be found in the Appendix E attachment.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Guidelines Section 15378. CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
No.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
FY 2025-2029 Con Plan, FY 2025-2026 AAP and ANRSA designation and proposed use of grant funds is in alignment with and furthers the following City Council strategic goals as described in the 2025 Strategic Plan:

Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Salinas is a compact urban community within a unique agricultural setting. Unlike the vaguely defined boundaries and sprawl that characterize so much of urban California, the highly productive agricultural lands surrounding Salinas create a distinct urban-agricultural edge that serves as a reminder of the source of the area's economic well-being. The City lies at the north end of the Salinas Valley, known as "The Salad Bowl of the World," and is the processing and shipping point for lettuce, broccoli, mushrooms, and strawberries, along with numerous other crops. With its mild climate and fertile soil, Salinas has become the processing and shipping point for one of the world's largest agricultural centers.
Although agriculture forms its economic base, the economy has diversified substantially over the last 20 to 30 years.
This Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan (CP) serves as the official application to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) funds for the City of Salinas (City).
The CP identifies the housing and community development needs in the City and sets forth a strategic plan for addressing the identified needs within the context of these three programs. It also satisfies the minimum statutory requirements of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. The CP covers the planning period of FY 2025-2029 which is from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030.
This CP was prepared using the eCon Planning Suite system developed and mandated by HUD. The system prescribes the structure and contents of this document, following the Federal CP regulations. A companion document to this CP is the Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (ANRSA). The ANRSA is included as an appendix to this CP and includes specific demographic and housing market conditions within the Alisal neighborhood.
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview This CP incorporates the following Performance Measure Objectives/ Outcomes to be associated with each activity funded:
General Objective Categories- Activities will meet one of the following:
• Decent Housing (DH)
• A Suitable Living Environment (SL)
• Economic Opportunity (EO) General
Outcome Categories- Activities will meet one of the following:
• Availability/Accessibility (1)
• Affordability (2)
• Sustainability (3)
The strategies in this CP are intended to coordinate with and build upon other established City plans and policies, particularly those set forth in the Salinas General Plan Housing Element (HE); Economic Development Element (EDE); Alisal Vibrancy Plan (AVP); Chinatown Revitalization Plan (CRP); Salinas Broadband Master Plan (SBMP); and Parks, Recreation and Libraries Master Plan (PRLMP). Strategies also reflect input from residents, service providers, community stakeholders, staff and City officials. Ranking of needs is based upon multiple factors, including:
•DRAFTGoals, policies and objectives from the City’s HE, EDE, AVP, CRP, SBMP and PRLMP; Consolidated Plan SALINAS 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Findings from the assessment of demographic and housing market conditions (detailed analyses contained in the ANRSA);
• Staffing resources, both for the City and for relevant providers; • The severity of need among the identified groups and subgroups, including relative needs between income groups;
• Input received from the community via Community Workshops, public outreach and Needs Survey; • Likely availability of funds over the coming five years for various housing and community development activities, combined with consideration for the most effective use of the limited funds that fall under the purview of the City’s CP.
The City’s goals and priorities for the FY 2025-2029 CP are identified below:
• Increased Decent and Affordable Housing
• Affordable Rental Housing Opportunities
• Assistance to Homeowners for Rehabilitation
• Homeownership Opportunities
• Enhanced Homeless Prevention, Services and Facilities • Enhanced Neighborhood Conditions
• Public Services
• Economic Development
• Planning and Program Administration
3. Evaluation of past performance
During the previous CP period, the City undertook a range of housing and community development activities to benefit primarily low- and moderate-income residents. This section only highlights some of the key accomplishments. For more detailed information, please refer to the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPERs) available at City Hall and on City website.
Affordable Housing
• Parkside Manor Housing Development Project – Phase I: The Parkside Manor Housing Development Project – Phase I is located at 1112 Parkside Street in the City of Salinas. This project consisted of demolishing an existing 48-unit senior housing development and the construction of a new 80-unit affordable senior residential development, along with supporting improved infrastructure and amenities. The project received a total of $1,017,540 of HOME funds for construction of the development and had its grand opening on January 19, 2023.
• Sun Rose Apartments Project: The Sun Rose Apartments, a new construction project, developed by Interim Inc. included an 11-unit transitional and permanent housing unit with supportive services for 18 very lowincome individuals with mental health disabilities who are homeless, chronically homeless, or at-risk of homelessness. The project was awarded $547,860 in CDBG funds for construction and activity delivery costs.
In conjunction with the CDBG funds, the City extended its support by providing an additional $500,000 in the form of a loan using the Housing Successor Agency (HSA) Funds. All construction activities concluded with the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy on September 13, 2023.
HOME American Rescue Plan
The Allocation Plan (AP) for the HOME American Rescue Plan (ARP) was submitted to HUD for final review and approval in October of 2022. By January 2023, HUD granted its final approval and awarded a total of $2,918,774.
These sites will collectively create 101 affordable rental housing units to house persons experiencing homelessness and provide
DRAFT
supportive services. The supportive services for participants of the program will include, but are not limited Consolidated Plan SALINAS 3
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
to financial assistance for housing-related costs. It is anticipated that the financial allocation for these services will be sustained for approximately two years with an estimated annual budget of at least $1,200,000. In FY 2023-24, there was a chance in ownership in both Homekey projects and the City will be collaborating with the new owners to keep these projects within the intended use and purpose.
Homeless Facilities and Services
• Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT): SORT was developed during FY 2021-22, to provide outreach and engagement services to unsheltered encampments. In FY 2020-25 a total of 339 persons were enrolled and engaged in case management services through ESG. A total of 87 positive housing outcomes, 29 persons were successfully housed through street-based coordination and support. A total of 15 transitioned to temporary situations (family and friends). A total of 39 persons successfully entered into an emergency shelter program and 5 were placed in Institutional Situations (Psychiatric & or Substance Abuse Treatment). • Rapid Rehousing Programs: Through various partners the City assisted 35 persons with rapid rehousing services, including one veteran. The rapid rehousing partner includes Community Homeless Solutions. • Emergency Shelters: During the COVID pandemic the City was able to fund two housing navigation and emergency shelters, the Salinas Housing Advancement, Resources & Education (SHARE) center and the Chinatown Navigation Center (CNC), through funding received from ESG-CV. These two centers were able to provide 150 shelter beds. Additionally, Central Coast Center for Independent Living (CCCIL) was funded to provide motel vouchers to unhoused households during the pandemic.
Neighborhood Conditions
• Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord Services Program: Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) provides fair housing counseling and investigation and tenant/landlord counseling and conciliation regarding rental housing rights and responsibilities and the protections available regarding laws and ordinances. ECHO assisted 155 households during this fiscal year.
Public Facilities and Improvements:
• Hebbron Family Center Project: The project consists of demolishing the original Hebbron Family Center (HFC) building, which was demolished in April 2023, and the construction of a brand-new, 7,965 square feet modern facility. The total project cost is estimated to be $16,107,115 of that, $3,057,115 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Once complete, the facility will continue to offer a wide range of Citysponsored programs for people of all ages, including after-school recreation, homework help, a teen lounge, food distribution and more. These programs are designed to support youth, families, seniors, and everyone in between. Construction began in September 2024, and is expected to be completed by December 2025. • Sherwood Recreation Center Project – Phase IV: The Sherwood Recreation Center is a capital improvement project (CIP No. 9535) that is retrofitting the old Municipal Swimming Pool Building for the purpose of converting the facility to a recreation center to provide City sponsored youth sports programs. The project was broken down into four phases with the first three being completed. The final phase (IV) will mainly consist of improving the façade, landscaping, replacement of siding, and roof renovation. The project is 100% funded using federal CDBG funds cost with an estimated cost of $3,951,795. The City is expecting to put the project out to bid in late May/early June and begin construction by late July/early August 2025. • Chinatown Neighborhood Improvements: The Chinatown Neighborhood Improvements includes the entire Chinatown neighborhood as highlighted in the City’s Chinatown Revitalization Plan (CRP). In FY 2022-23, City staff collaborated with the Salinas Downtown Community Board and other stakeholders from the neighborhood to identify priority activities from the CRP and feedback included strong support for infrastructure, sanitation, and beautification projects. To achieve this, the project will be divided into various phases. Through a collaboration between the City’s Public Works and Community Development departments, DRAFT
the allocated $607,980 in CDBG funds and approximately $1.1 million to carry out infrastructure activities Consolidated Plan SALINAS 4
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
identified in the CRP. This phase of the project will focus on ADA curb cuts, sidewalk repairs, street repairs, and lighting improvements throughout the neighborhood.

1. Introduction
As part of the development of this CP, the City undertook an extensive outreach program to consult and coordinate with non-profit agencies, affordable housing providers, and government agencies regarding the needs of the low- and moderate-income community. The outreach program has been summarized in the Executive Summary and Citizen Participation sections of this CP and provided in Appendix B to this CP.
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)).
To outreach various agencies and organizations, the City compiled an outreach list consisting of more than 200 representatives from agencies and organizations, including:
• Non-profit service providers that cater to the needs of low- and moderate-income households and persons with special needs;
• Local churches and religious groups;
•DRAFTGroups addressing the needs of individuals exiting institutions; Consolidated Plan SALINAS 7
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Schools;
• Affordable housing providers;
• Housing advocates;
• Housing professionals;
• Public agencies (such as school districts, health services, public works); • Economic development and employment organizations; and • Community and neighborhood groups.
These agencies were contacted and notified of the CP development process and community workshops. Specific agencies were also contacted to obtain data in preparation of this CP. For example, the State Developmental Services Department and State Social Services Department were contacted to obtain data and housing resources for persons with disabilities. The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) was also contacted to obtain information on Housing Choice Vouchers.
On an ongoing basis, City staff communicates with various nonprofits and public agencies that serve the City’s lowand moderate-income residents and special needs groups to identify needs and plans for future activities. The City has established a Housing and Land Use Committee and Technical Advisory Committee for Housing Policies and Programs to provide an additional forum for residents, agencies, and organizations to discuss housing and community development needs and plans.
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’s Mayor is a member of the Continuum of Care (CoC) Leadership Council and on an ongoing basis, City staff participates in the CoC Leadership Council meeting. Additionally, City staff also attends and participates in the CoC Coalition of Homeless Service Providers (CHSP), Salinas Downtown Community Board (SDCB) for the Chinatown Area, and CoC Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness (Lead Me Home Plan) meetings, to identify housing and supportive service needs of the homeless and develop solutions.
The City is also the Administrative Entity (AE) for the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG). As the AE City utilizes HCD ESG funding to support the operations of the CNC, and other emergency shelter, street outreach, homeless prevention, rapid re-housing services and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) activities.
The City also attends the local CoC Point-in-Time Count (PIT), Lead Me Home Plan, CARS, HMIS and Rapid Rehousing meetings and receives updates on initiatives to end homelessness in Monterey County.
The County is the lead agency for coordinating housing, employment, and services for this population. The City also makes an effort to coordinate with the County of Monterey and their work with the City Police Department to address homelessness, including those who have been released from correctional programs and institutions. The Salinas Valley State Prison is located in the City of Soledad, but the County Jail is located in Salinas.
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 Coalition of Homeless Service Providers (CHSP) is a group of private non-profit and public organizations working together to address the complex issues of homelessness throughout Monterey and San Benito Counties. CHSP is the local lead HMIS agency for the CoC service area (Monterey and San Benito Counties). In addition, CHSP organizes and coordinates a series of ongoing, highly targeted, HMIS related meetings and trainings designed to enhance data DRAFT

quality, refine policy and streamline activities at an agency and CoC level. The CoC Leadership Council approved the City to be the Administrative Entity (AE) for the HCD ESG Program. The HCD ESG program funding is to leverage other federal and local funding.
CHSP updated the Lead Me Home Plan, their regional plan to reduce homelessness in 2021. This update includes priorities for the five-year time period between 2021 and 2026. The updated plan has a goal of reducing homelessness by 50 percent utilizing the following overarching strategies:
• Increase participation in homelessness solutions by leaders and key stakeholders from across the region; • Improve the performance of the homelessness response system; and • Expand service-oriented responses to unsheltered homelessness.
This Consolidated Plan includes a priority to reduce homelessness in Salinas. The City has been working with several agencies to provide outreach, shelter, homeless prevention, and rapid re-housing services to the homeless. These programs have been highly successful, and the City continues to demonstrate a tremendous and continued need for these services.
Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdictions consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities As part of the CP, AAP and ANRSA development process, the City developed an outreach list of more than 200 representatives from agencies and organizations, as well as individuals.

Chinatown Revitalization Plan (CRP): The City and its Chinatown neighborhood partners have undertaken a community-led planning process to continue the revitalization of this critical neighborhood located near the Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC) and Salinas Downtown. The process builds on the extensive work from the 2007 and 2010 Plans to develop updated recommendations and implementation strategies to address the housing, access, mobility, and socioeconomic needs of the neighborhood. Economic conditions slowed the implementation of strategies detailed in prior planning efforts. New economic conditions require an updated study to meet the current needs of the neighborhood.
The updated CRP will support the social, environmental and economic health of Salinas’ historic Chinatown district.
The strategies, recommendations, and concepts developed through this planning process will guide both future private, public, and social investment. Short and long-term strategies will help identify priorities that will support City staff and partners in proactively managing neighborhood land and resources.

The AVP is an opportunity to improve the quality of life for East Salinas families by creating a more vibrant, equitable and healthy community in a way that builds upon the social and cultural wealth of the Alisal. The AVP was adopted in November 2019. Goals, programs, and objectives in the AVP have been incorporated into this CP and ANRSA.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan, in conjunction with information gathered through consultations and the citizen participation process, is intended to provide a clearer picture of the City of Salinas' needs related to affordable housing, community development, and homelessness. From this Needs Assessment, the City identified the highest priority needs, which will form the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be administered.
The Needs Assessment relies on a variety of statistical data to inform Consolidated Plan priorities. Municipalities often use a template provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to structure their Consolidated Plans. This HUD template includes tables with demographic information from the 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS), which the City uses to analyze trends and develop narratives related to housing, economic conditions, and population demographics.
When the template does not provide specific data, the City supplements with the most current information available, which may lead to variations in data periods and consistency. The data sources utilized include:
• 2018-2022 American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates • 2016-2020 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) Data from HUD • 2024 Monterey County Homelessness Point-In-Time Count and Survey • December 2022 Consumer Count by California ZIP Code and Residence Type from the California Department of Developmental Services
• Salinas Continuum of Care
•DRAFTVisión Salinas Existing Conditions Report
Consolidated Plan SALINAS 19
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
HUD typically defines low- and moderate-income households as those earning up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) for the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). However, some data sources may define low-income households as those earning up to 100 percent of AMI.
NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
In 2020, Salinas’ population was 156,175 persons and 41,295 households (Table 4). Both the total population and the number of households slightly increased (by one percent) since 2009. During the same time period, the median income for Salinas residents increased 36 percent, from nearly $50,000 annually to almost $68,000. According to the most recent CHAS data (2016-2020) approximately 53 percent of Salinas households (21,915) qualify as low-to-moderate income based on HUD guidelines (<80 percent AMI) (Table 5). Of these households, approximately 68 percent are renter households (15,005) and 32 percent are owner occupied (6,905).
Small households (defined as a 3- to 4-person household, or a 2-person household when neither is over age 62) represented the most prevalent type of household in Salinas at 46 percent (19,035 households, Table 5). About 49 percent of small households have an annual income less than 80 percent AMI.
To help dissect the housing problems facing Salinas, the following tables provide details:
• Table 4 presents the population and household growth between 2009 and 2020. • Table 5 presents the number of households by special characteristics. • Table 6 presents the number of households with one or more housing problem (inadequate housing, overcrowding, cost burden of 50 percent, or cost burden of 30 percent) by income and tenure. • Table 7 summarizes the number of households with more than one or more severe housing problem by income and tenure. Severe housing problems are inadequate housing; severe overcrowding (1.51 persons or more per room); and housing cost burden of 50 percent.
• Table 8 isolates those households with housing cost burden of over 30 percent (inclusive of those with cost burden of over 50 percent) by income and tenure.
• Table 9 further isolates those households with cost burden of over 50 percent. • Table 10 presents overcrowding by household type.
• Table 11 is intended to show overcrowding for households with children. However, the American Community Survey provides no data for the City.
As previously mentioned, for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), a person is considered to be of low income only if he or she is a member of a family whose income would qualify as "very low income" under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program. Unrelated individuals are considered as one-person families for this purpose. Generally, these Section 8 limits are based on 50 percent of area median income (AMI). Similarly, CDBG moderate income relies on Section 8 "lower income" limits, which are generally tied to 80 percent of AMI.
As defined by HUD in the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, housing problems include:
• Units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or bathroom); • Overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per room); • Housing cost burden (including utilities) exceeding 30 percent of gross income; and DRAFT • Severe housing cost burden (including utilities) exceeding 50 percent of gross income.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
According to the 2018-2022 ACS, about 6,903 households (16 percent) in Salinas were single person households.
About 55 percent of single person households in Salinas are renter households. The total number of single person households has decreased since 2010, when there were 7,491 single person households in Salinas (2006-2010 ACS).
In 2022, about 46 percent of single-person households were persons aged 65 or older. Seniors living alone typically require additional assistance with home repairs and maintenance.
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 with Disabilities
Of the 97,541 persons 18 to 64 years of age and categorized as civilian noninstitutionalized, 5,984 (6.1 percent) have disability status. This is slightly lower than in Monterey County, where 6.6 percent of persons 18 to 64 have a disability.
However, 39.5 percent of seniors aged 65 and older have disability status. This percentage is significantly higher than the senior population in the County with a disability (31.8 percent).
In general, persons with disabilities require accessible and affordable housing, with easy access to supportive services and transportation services. This can include special housing design features for the physically disabled, income support for those who are unable to work, and in-home supportive services for those with medical conditions. The majority of persons with disabilities live on an income that is significantly lower than the non-disabled population.
Ambulatory difficulty is the most prevalent for Salinas residents with a disability (45 percent), followed by a cognitive difficulty and independent living difficulty (40 percent and 37 percent, respectively).
The San Andreas Regional Center serves individuals with developmental disabilities in Salinas. As of December 2021, the center supported approximately 1,734 residents within Salinas’ ZIP codes. Notably, the vast majority (89 percent) of Regional Center clients were living with a parent or guardian.
Victims of Domestic Violence
The 2024 Monterey County Point-In-Time Homeless Count found the County-wide homeless population was 2,436, with1,216 persons identified within Salinas. While data does not exist at the City level, County-level data indicated that six percent of survey respondents reported currently experience domestic/partner violence or abuse at the time of the PIT count. This percentage has decreased since 2022 (10 percent). Additionally, 34 percent responded that they had been physically, emotionally, or sexually abused in their lifetime. Victims of domestic violence may require special services to find housing, especially single mothers who may also be responsible for childcare expenses. The 2018- 2022 ACS states that approximately 32 percent of the City’s female-headed households, with no spouse present and with children under 18 years of age are living below the poverty level in 2022 compared to 7 percent of married couple households.

What are the most common housing problems?
The most common housing problem in Salinas is cost burden, followed by overcrowding. According to the 2016-2020 CHAS data presented above, the most common problem faced by low and moderate income households is severe cost burden (exceeds 50 percent of household income), impacting 26 percent of low and moderate income households (5,720 households, Table 6). Severe cost burden impacted a similar proportion of renter and owner households (26 percent and 25 percent, respectively). Severe cost burden is significantly more prevalent for extremely low income (ELI) households. Approximately 51 percent of ELI renter households and 55 percent of ELI owner households have a severe cost burden.
A total of 6,280 households in Salinas are overcrowded (15 percent). However, overcrowding disproportionately impacts low and moderate income renter households. About 32 percent of low and moderate income renter households are overcrowded, compared to 12 percent of low and moderate income owner households.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? In general, renter households are more impacted by housing problems when compared to owner households (Table 7). Approximately 54 percent of renter households earning 100% of AMI or less are experiencing at least one housing problem, compared to 32 percent of owner households in the same income range. ELI renter family households are particularly impacted by cost burden, with 79 percent of small family ELI households and 80 percent of large family ELI households experiencing cost burden.
The majority of overcrowded households in the City are single family households, which make up 80 percent of overcrowded renter households and 63 percent of overcrowded owner households. Single family households make up 88 percent of overcrowded ELI renter households.
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 Approximately 14 percent (5,765 households) of Salinas households earn extremely low incomes (Table 7).
Approximately 77 percent of ELI households rent their home.
About 14 percent of all Salinas households and 13 percent of family households had an income below the poverty level, according to the 2018-2022 ACS. This is slightly higher than Monterey County, where 12 percent of all households are below the poverty level. Approximately 32 percent of female headed family households have incomes below the poverty level, significantly higher than rate for all households.
Rapid re-housing helps families and individuals who are not chronically homeless obtain permanent housing immediately and to stabilize themselves as soon as possible. These households have lived independently in permanent housing in the past and are in need of temporary assistance for several months—not years. While receiving assistance, these households are able to become increasingly self-sufficient through public assistance and/or employment. They may need long-term non-monetary assistance to prevent the loss of their housing such as free or low cost clothing, food, health care, household supplies, and transportation.
The City utilizes HCD ESG, Encampment Resolution Funds (ERF), and Family Homeless Challenge Funds (FHC) for rapid re-housing services. In FY 2024-2025, Community Homeless Solutions was the recipient for funding to operate a rapid re-housing program. Additionally, the Emergency Motel Program and the Salinas Outreach and Response Team were
DRAFT
able to provide rapid re-housing services through the use of ERF and FHC funds.

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:
The City generally defines extremely low-income households and residents living in poverty as the most at-risk of becoming homeless. These estimates are based on CHAS data provided by HUD and on ACS data by the Census Bureau, respectively.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Extremely low-income households with a severe housing cost burden are more likely to lose their homes in the event of loss of employment or other unexpected expenses. Unemployment and underemployment have been the primary reasons for families losing their homes. In addition, overcrowding and housing displacements are contributing factors to individuals and families becoming homeless.

Discussion:
Approximately 40 percent of all households in Salinas experience cost burden (spend more than 30 percent of gross household income on housing). American Indian/Alaska Native and Pacific Islanders represent a small proportion of Salinas’ total households; however, they are disproportionately impacted by cost burden. About 57 percent of Pacific Islander households and 100 percent of American Indian/Alaska Native households are cost burdened.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
About 18 percent of Salinas households experience severe cost burden (spend more than 50 percent of gross household income on housing). Similar to above, American Indian/Alaska Native and Pacific Islanders are disproportionately impacted by severe cost burden. About 57 percent of Pacific Islander households and 50 percent of American Indian/Alaska Native households are cost burdened. Additionally, 27.7 percent of Black/African American households are severely cost burdened, nearly ten percent more than the trend citywide.
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?
Extremely low income households (0 percent – 30 percent of AMI) About 85 percent of ELI households have at least one housing problem and 73 percent are affected by at least one severe housing problem. Although American Indian/Alaska Native households represent a small proportion of households citywide, American Indian/Alaska Native ELI households are disproportionately impacted by housing problems (100 percent have at least one housing problem).
Low income households (31 percent to 50 percent of AMI) Asian and Pacific Islander low income households are disproportionately impacted by housing problems compared to low income households as a whole (91 percent and 100 percent, respectively, compared to 80 percent in the City as a whole). Additionally, low income Black/African American households are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems (82 percent, compared to 58 percent in the City as a whole).
Moderate income households (51 percent to 80 percent AMI) About 65 percent of moderate income households were impacted by one or more housing problem and 36 percent were impacted by one or more severe housing problems. Black/African American moderate income households were disproportionately affected by severe housing problems (68 percent).
Middle income households (81 percent to 100 percent of AMI) About 40 percent of middle income households were impacted by one or more housing problem and 18 percent were impacted by one or more severe housing problems. No racial/ethnic group was disproportionately affected.
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? The analysis presented above shows the need for additional affordable housing options in Salinas, particularly for low income and extremely low income households. Additionally, programs focused on home rehab and maintenance could provide assistance to households with a lack of plumbing and kitchen facilities.
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? Error! Reference source not found. identifies the Low- and Moderate-Income Areas in Salinas. As shown in the map, l ow- and moderate-income areas are located throughout the City, but generally in the center (including the entire Alisal neighborhood), the Downtown areas, and in parts of North Salinas.
A minority “concentration area” is defined as an area whose proportion of minority population is greater than the overall Monterey County average (71 percent). With the exception of a few census tracts in the southern portion of the City, the majority of Salinas is identified as a minority concentration area (see Error! Reference source not found.). Most o f the low and moderate income areas were also identified as minority concentration areas, an indication that certain parts of the City have a disproportionate number of lower income minority residents.

Introduction
HACM owns 26 housing developments (including scattered sites, totaling 682 units) in Salinas. Nineteen of the HACM housing complexes in Salinas are concentrated within the ANRSA. Beginning in 2015, the HACM initiated the process of converting its 22 public housing developments into project-based rental assistance units through HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. That conversion process was completed in 2019. The HACM has established the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey Development Corporation (HDC) to manage former public housing developments. The following tables represent updated information from HACM for housing vouchers being used in Salinas as of May 2020.
HACM also oversees the Housing Choice Voucher program for Salinas. As on November 2024, there were 4,023 HVC participants housed in Salinas. An additional 779 HCV applicants were looking for housing and 4,623 applicants were on the waitlist.

HACM no longer operates any public housing developments and therefore does not maintain a waitlist for public housing.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders HACM administers 26 housing projects (including scattered sites) with a total of 682 units in Salinas. As of November 2024, there were 4,809 households receiving Housing Choice Vouchers in the City (4,023 housed, and 779 applicants searching). An additional 4,623 households were on the waitlist. There has been a substantial increase in voucher use and need over the last four years. The number of vouchers has more than doubled since 2020, when 1,616 Salinas households were receiving vouchers. The number of households on the waitlist has similarly grown substantially (1,147 households in 2020, compared to 4,623 in 2024. The long waiting times to receive a voucher is the greatest need associated with the program.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The housing needs voucher holders generally reflect housing needs citywide (refer to discussion above), as a significant portion of the County’s voucher recipients are located in Salinas.
NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:
According to the 2024 Monterey County Homelessness Point-in-Time Count and Report, 2,436 individuals in Monterey County, including 1,216 individuals in Salinas, were homeless during the Point-in-Time (PIT) count conducted in January 2024. Countywide, the homeless population increased by 19 percent since 2022. In Salinas, the homeless population increased by about 14 percent since 2022. According to the 2024 Point-In-Time Count, 78 percent of the homeless population in Salinas is unsheltered (949 individuals).
It should be noted that annual PIT count measures the scope of homelessness on a single night; it does not represent every person who will experience homelessness throughout the year. The 2024 Monterey County Homeless Census and Survey does not include estimates of persons in rural areas who are homeless or at risk of homelessness (Table 26). DRAFT

If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth).
In Salinas, the homeless population is made up of 1,216 individuals, 78 percent (949 individuals) of which are unsheltered. The 2024 Monterey County Homeless Census and Survey identified the characteristics below in the County’s homeless population. However, no similarly specific information is available for the City, so the data provided in Table 25 has been interpolated from County-wide data. Percentages are utilized in the discussion below to avoid putting too much weight on exact numbers from interpolated data.
Chronically Homeless: Chronically homeless individuals make up about 34 percent of the County’s homeless population and the majority of chronically homeless individuals are unsheltered (79 percent). Data is not available specifically for chronically homeless families.
Families with Children: Approximately 15 percent of Monterey County’s homeless population were individuals in households with children. About 45 percent were unsheltered and 55 percent were sheltered.
Veterans: Veterans comprise 6 percent of the homeless population in the County. About 55 percent of these individuals were unsheltered.
Unaccompanied Youth: County-wide, about 9 percent of the homeless population were unaccompanied youth (225 individuals, includes minors under 18 and transition age youth (ages 19-24)). The vast majority of unaccompanied youth are unsheltered (90 percent).
Based on the results from the 2024 Monterey County Homeless Census and Survey, 77 percent of survey respondents reported that their current episode of homelessness was not their first. The survey also found that 78 percent of survey respondents had been homeless for a year or longer and an additional 9 percent had been homeless for 7 to 11 months.

Families with Children: In Monterey County, 366 individuals were members of homeless families with children. This is a slight increase from 2022 (347 individuals), but a significant decrease from 2019 (596). Approximately 45 percent of individuals in homeless families were unsheltered. Using interpolation, an estimated 183 individuals are members of homeless families with children.
Veterans: There were 146 homeless veterans identified County-wide during the point-in-time count. This equates to approximately 73 homeless veterans in Salinas. The number of homeless veterans in the County has decreased steadily since 2019 (by 17 percent). About 55 percent of veterans were unsheltered at the time of the count.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.
As shown in Table 27, the largest proportion of individuals counted in the 2024 Homeless Count identified as White (25 percent). After White, Black or African Americans were the second most prevalent racial group (14 percent). About 8 percent of homeless individuals identified as multi-race, and 4 percent were Asian. About 44 percent of homeless individuals were Hispanic (of any race).
Black/African Americans are overrepresented among the homeless population in Monterey County. About 2 percent of the County’s population is Black/African American, compared to 14 percent of the homeless population. In contrast, Hispanic/Latinos make up 60 percent of the County’s population, but 44 percent of the homeless population.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
The 2024 Homeless Census and Survey found 2,436 homeless persons in Monterey County, of which 1,216 persons were located in Salinas. Within Salinas, 267 were sheltered and 949 were unsheltered. Approximately 17 percent of the County homeless population had chronic health problems. Many homeless persons suffer from health conditions, including physical disabilities (31 percent), depression (50 percent), and PTSD (32 percent). Approximately six percent of homeless survey respondents reported currently experiencing domestic/partner abuse and 34 percent had a history of being abused.
The Homeless Census reports that 61 percent of the County homeless population were living in encampments/outdoors, 7 percent in emergency shelters and transitional housing, 18 percent in cars, 3 percent indoor areas not intended for sleeping, and 11 percent in motels and hotels.
NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:
Certain households, because of their special characteristics and needs, may require special accommodations and may have difficulty finding housing due to their special needs. Special needs groups include the elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS, female-headed households, large households, homeless persons, and persons atrisk of homelessness.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
To the extent feasible, information specific to the City is provided. If specific local information is not available, regional data is used to generally depict the nature and extent of a special needs group.
Elderly
According to the 2018-2022 ACS, the householder was over 65 for 8,540 households in Salinas (19 percent of all households). About 3,198 of these households were a senior (age 65 or older) living alone. Approximately 31 percent of households with an elderly householder rented an

important factor in considering housing needs for the elderly. About 27 percent of the elderly population in Salinas has at least one disability. The most common disabilities among seniors age 65 or older are ambulatory difficulties (affecting 65 percent of seniors with a disability), followed by independent living difficulties (affecting 45 percent of seniors with a disability). Additionally, the 2016-2020 CHAS data shows that 51 percent of households with at least one person age 62 or older are lower income (<80% AMI).
Persons with Disabilities
According to the 2018-2022 ACS, 8 percent of the population in Salinas was affected by one or more disabilities.
Among persons living with disabilities, ambulatory difficulties and cognitive difficulties were the most prevalent (each impacting 41 percent of persons with disabilities), followed by independent living difficulties (33 percent). As discussed above, disability is much more prevalent among seniors over age 65.
Large Households
Large households are those with five or more members. According to the 2018-2022 ACS, approximately 30 percent of the households in Salinas were large households. The majority of large households were renter-occupied households (57 percent). The proportion of large households in Salinas is significantly higher than Monterey County as a whole, where 20 percent of households have five or more members. According to the CHAS data, 58 percent of large households in Salinas are lower income (<80% AMI).
Single-Parent Households
According to the 2018-2022 ACS, there are approximately 11,909 single-parent households in Salinas. Of these households, about 69 percent are renters. The majority of single-parent households were headed by females (67 percent). Female-headed households are significantly more likely to be living below the poverty level. Approximately 32 percent of the City’s female-headed households, with no spouse present and with children under 18 years of age are living below the poverty level in 2022 compared to 7 percent of married couple households.
Victims of Domestic Violence
According to the California Department of Justice, the Salinas Police Department received 510 domestic violence related calls in 2023. The number of calls related to domestic violence appears to be decreasing (the Department received 619 calls in 2022 and 675 calls in 2021). According to the Monterey County 2024 Homeless Point-In-Time Count and Survey, 6 percent of respondents reported currently experiencing domestic/partner violence or abuse.
Additionally, 34 percent of respondents reported having a history of being abused.
Farmworkers
According to the 2018-2022 ACS, there were 9,427 farmworkers residing in Salinas. However, the 2018 Farmworker Housing Study and Action Plan for Salinas Valley and Pajaro Valley provides more detailed and localized data. The Study estimated there were 91,433 agricultural workers in the region in 2016. A survey of 420 farmworkers found that the median annual income was below $25,000. The Study concludes an overwhelming need for affordable, permanent year-round housing for farmworker families.
Recent farmworker housing projects include:
Eden Housing Project: located at 835 E. Laurel Drive is a project which will consist of 132 units (one, two and three bedrooms) for low-income families and farmworker families with households earning between 30 percent and 60 percent AMI. The project will include recreational spaces and areas, community rooms, computer labs and after-school activity areas, among other amenities. Community engagement for this project started in Spring 2023 and the project received approval from the Board of Supervisors on March 11, 2025. Construction of Phase I (78 units) is anticipated by 2028.

Persons with Alcohol/Substance Abuse Addictions
The 2022 Monterey County Health Need Assessment (CHNA) is a comprehensive report on the health needs in Monterey County. The CHNA reports on a number of factors related to alcohol and substance abuse. According to the CHNA, a total of 26 percent of adults in the County are excessive drinkers. The CHNA reports that 3.6 percent of Salinas adults have used an illicit drug in the past month (compared to 6.1 percent Countywide) and 7 percent of Salinas adults have used a prescription opioid in the past year (compared to 11 percent Countywide. Illicit drug and opioid use were highest among very low income and LGTBQ+ residents. Among the County’s homeless population, 40 percent reported having a substance use disorder, according to the 2024 Homeless Point-In-Time Count and Survey.
Veterans
The 2018-2022 ACS estimated that 3,329 veterans resided in Salinas (3 percent of the civilian population over age 18). Approximately 34 percent had a disability, 7.7 percent in the labor force were unemployed, and 8.1 percent were living below the poverty status. The 2024 Homeless Point-In-Time Count and Survey identified 146 veterans experiencing homelessness in the County, and 55 percent of these individuals were unsheltered.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
Elderly
The data above indicates that about half of households with an elderly member are low income. Additionally, many elderly householders own their home. This indicates a need to programs to assist with maintenance and repairs for lower income elderly homeowners. Additionally, the elderly are more likely to have disabilities such as ambulatory difficulties and independent living difficulties. Thus, programs to make accessibility improvements to homes and supportive services like health care, independent living assistance, and transportation services are needed to serve this population.
Persons with Disabilities
Ambulatory difficulties, cognitive difficulties, and independent living difficulties were the more prevalent disability types in Salinas. Disabled persons could benefit from special modifications, adaptive equipment, or other features in their home. These individuals would also benefit from a variety of supportive services including health care and health programs, special education services, independent living assistance, and transportation services.
Large Households
The majority of large households in Salinas are lower income. Therefore, the limited availability of affordable adequately sized units is a common problem for lower income large households.
Single-Parent Households
Single-parent households typically have needs for affordable and quality childcare. Despite the existence of resources, it is difficult for some families to qualify for subsidized services. Many single-parent households also need support services for parenting. Often, inadequate transportation service and high transportation costs are also concerns.
Victims of Domestic Violence
Victims of domestic violence often need transitional housing and other supportive services (such as legal, counseling, affordable childcare, and employment training) to help them leave the abusive environment and gain financial selfsufficiency.

agencies/departments/the courts to better service victims of domestic violence. The Council may establish procedures, conduct reviews, develop policies, and take all other actions necessary to further the board objectives of responsiveness to domestic violence and related issues.
Farmworkers
The Farmworker Housing Action Plan for Salinas Valley and Pajaro Valley (2018) was developed to understand the specific needs and barriers related to farmworker housing and identify potential solutions. Survey data associated with the Action Plan found that 89 percent of farmworker households rented, and 93 percent of farmworker households were overcrowded. The Plan identified permanent housing for year-round farmworkers is the greatest need: 80 percent of farmworkers live in the region year-round.
Persons with Drug/Alcohol Addictions
Substance abuse services (such as rehabilitation) and prevention services are needed.
Veterans
As noted above, disabilities are significantly more prevalent in the veteran population. Living with a disability has the potential to limit an individual’s ability to earn income. Supportive services and resources that provide health care, housing, and employment are needed.
Other Special Needs Populations
In consulting with City staff during the Consolidated Plan preparation process, the following supportive services are needed in Salinas:
• Respite care for caregivers
• Services for individuals recently released from incarceration • Crisis residential services
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
According to the Monterey County Health Department, there were 90 new HIV diagnoses between 2020 and 2022 in the County, 25 of which occurred in 2022 (most recent data available). The number and rate of new HIV cases among Monterey County residents has declined in recent years. In 2018 the rate was 10.5 diagnoses per 100,000 people. In 2022, the rate had dropped to 5.6 diagnoses per 100,000 people. The highest rates of diagnoses between 2016 and 2018 (most recent data available) were among male between 25 and 44 years of age (about 28 diagnoses per 100,000) and among Black or African American residents (25 diagnoses per 100,000). In Salinas, the most recent available data shows the rate was 13.9 diagnoses per 100,000 between 2016 and 2018.
NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs – 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities:
According to the Visión Salinas Existing Conditions Report, there is a need for additional parkland in the City. Salinas currently has 1.52 acres of parkland per thousand residents, with a goal of increasing this to 3 acres per thousand residents. Additionally, many existing community parks are in need of maintenance and repairs. The Report also identified a need for additional arts and cultural spaces, as well as a community urban plaza for civic and cultural events.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.
Housing developments utilizing federal, state, and/or local programs, including state and local bond programs, LowIncome Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), density bonus, or direct assistance programs, are often restricted for use as lowincome housing and provide another source of affordable housing for a jurisdiction. A number of developments in Salinas have been identified where some or all of the units are affordable for low to moderate income households.
Together these projects provide 2,196 units of affordable housing, including 1,427 family units, 650 senior units and 119 units for disabled persons.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
Overall, 778 units in 15 projects are considered at risk of converting to market-rate housing between the years 2022 and 2032 due to potential expiration of rent subsidies either by restrictions placed on the property by the City of Salinas,

As mentioned in the Needs Assessment above there are 778 affordable housing units that are anticipated to be approved/constructed during this Consolidated Planning period. This will help to offset the potential losses of units converting to market rate.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? According to the CHAS data by HUD, mismatches in terms of supply and affordability exist in the City. Approximately 5,765 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI resided in the City; however, there were only 1,066 dwelling units affordable to those at this income level. Similarly, there were 6,755 households earning between 31 and 50 percent of AMI and only 4,135 housing units affordable to those at this income level. With approximately 13,380 housing units in Salinas that were affordable to households earning between 51 and 80 percent AMI, there were more than enough units to accommodate the 9,395 households at this income level. However, a housing unit affordable to a particular income group does not mean the unit is actually occupied by a household in that income group. Therefore, the affordability mismatches are likely to be more severe than what is presented by the CHAS data.
In addition, according to the 2016-2020 CHAS data, approximately 24 percent of the households in the City were large households (comprised of five or more persons). The limited availability of affordable adequately sized rental units is a problem faced by these households. The vast majority (83 percent) of the ownership housing in the City was comprised of larger units (i.e. with three or more bedrooms). By comparison, only 34 percent of rental housing was comprised of these larger units. This disparity may explain the larger number of overcrowded renter-households in the City.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
The following types of housing are needed in the City
• Housing affordable to households that earn less than 50 percent of AMI. • Larger rental units (i.e. with three or more bedrooms). • Farmworker housing to alleviate existing overcrowding conditions. •DRAFTHousing for seniors and persons with disabilities.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
One of the most important factors in evaluating a community’s housing market is the cost of housing and, even more significant, whether the housing is affordable to households who live there or would like to live there. Housing problems directly relate to the cost of housing in a community. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, a correspondingly high rate of housing cost burden and overcrowding could result.
Similar to many communities in California, the cost of living in Salinas has continued to rise. The median home value increased from $276,200 in 2015 to $451,000 in 2020, representing a 63 percent increase over five years. Rents in Salinas increased by 30 percent over the same period, going from $1,060 a month to $1,374 a month.
As of February 2025, Zillow data indicates that median home values have increased by over 60 percent again since 2020 to $728,998. Rents have also continued to rise. A rental survey in February 2025 found the following median rents in Salinas: Studio - $1,635, 1-bedroom: $2,044, 2-bedroom: 2,650, and 3-bedroom - $3,300. One 4-bedroom unit was listed for $3,750. With housing costs rising for both homeowners and renters, cost burden and overcrowding remain significant concerns, especially for lower-income residents.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? According to the CHAS data by HUD, mismatches in terms of supply and affordability exist in the City. Approximately 5,765 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI resided in the City; however, there were only 1,066 dwelling units affordable to those at this income level. Similarly, there were 6,755 households earning between 31 and 50 percent of AMI and only 4,135 housing units affordable to those at this income level. With approximately 13,380 housing units in Salinas that were affordable to households earning between 51 and 80 percent AMI, there were more than enough units to accommodate the 9,395 households at this income level. However, a housing unit affordable to a particular income group does not mean the unit is actually occupied by a household in that income group. Therefore, the affordability mismatches are likely to be more severe than what is presented by the CHAS data.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? The rises in home prices and rents, coupled with the general insufficient new construction of housing, have resulted in the current housing crisis that is characterized by severe housing problems such as cost burden, overcrowding, and other housing issues such as conditions.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
Comparing the rental survey results above with Table 33, the median rental rates in Salinas are lower than fair market rents but are significantly higher than HOME rents. The City should continue to work on expanding affordable rental housing options using HOME and CDBG funds for Salinas’ lower-income households.
MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
Assessing housing conditions in the City can provide the basis for developing policies and programs to maintain and preserve the quality of the housing stock. The ACS defines a "selected condition "as owner- or renter-occupied housing units having at least one of the following conditions: 1) lacking complete plumbing facilities; 2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; 3) more than one occupant per room; and 4) selected monthly housing costs greater than 30 percent of household income. Based on this definition, almost two-thirds of all renter-occupied households (64 percent) in Salinas had at least one selected condition between 2016 and 2020 (Table 34). A lower proportion of owner-occupied households (37 percent) had at least one selected condition.
Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":
In the City, substandard housing conditions may consist of the following: structural hazards, poor construction, inadequate maintenance, faulty wiring, plumbing, fire hazards, and inadequate sanitation. Substandard units suitable DRAFT
Consolidated Plan SALINAS 47
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
for rehabilitation are those units where the total rehabilitation costs do not exceed 25 percent of the after-rehabilitation value. A standard condition housing unit in Salinas is a housing unit that has none of the characteristics of substandard condition.

Given the age of the housing stock in the City, the number of substandard housing units is moderate. Housing age can indicate general housing conditions within a community. Housing is subject to gradual deterioration over time.
Deteriorating housing can depress neighboring property values, discourage reinvestment, and eventually impact the quality of life in a neighborhood. According to the 2016-2020 ACS data, a majority of the housing stock in Salinas was constructed prior to 1980. Approximately 61 percent of owner-occupied housing and 57 percent of renter-occupied housing in the City is over 45 years old (built before 1980). Approximately 14 percent of housing units are 70 years of age or older (built before 1950), generally considered the useful life of a building. The age of the City’s housing stock suggests that a high portion of the housing stock may need significant improvements and rehabilitation.
The City provides Code Enforcement services throughout the City solely on a complaint basis. A complaint-based system may result in underreporting of code compliance issues, particularly of rental housing stock. Often tenants fear retaliation from the landlords and are therefore less willing to report an issue. Language barrier may be another obstacle for reporting code compliance issues. In April of 2023, the City approved establishing a Rental Registry Program and increasing Fair Housing Counseling services.
Most of the cases opened were related to neighborhood maintenance issues. Most typical housing condition issues concerned illegal occupancy, primarily related to garage and garden shed conversions and recreational vehicles illegally connected to the City’s sewer system. Additional issues include plumbing problems, overcrowding, and electrical hazards. These housing arrangements represent some of the City’s most substandard housing conditions.
Housings conditions, particularly for low-income renters, are a significant concern in the community, which led to the creation of the Residential Rental Registration Ordinance, adopted in April 2023. To keep community stakeholders at the center of the development of this Ordinance, the City formed a Community Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of community advocates, housing developers, property managers, and private sector professional organization representatives to assist in formulating an equitable, acceptable Residential Rental Registration Program. The City envisions the Residential Rental Registration serving initially as a database that the City would use to collect and track rental data on units, including affordable units, and to disseminate information and expand tenant/landlord services.
However, the utility of the Residential Rental Registration could be expanded over time to incorporate additional monitoring, compliance, and enforcement activities as new programs are established and linked to it.
With this program, the City intends to facilitate abatement of on-going nuisances and increase compliance with State and local laws related to rental properties to ensure rental housing is maintained and meets minimum building, housing, fire, and nuisance standards and is safe to occupy. The Residential Rental Registration Program is intended to preserve and enhance the quality of life for residents living in rental housing, as well as the neighborhoods in which they reside.
Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards Housing age is the key variable used to estimate the number of housing units with lead-based paint (LBP). Starting in 1978, the federal government prohibited the use of LBP on residential property. National studies estimate that 75 percent of all residential structures built prior to 1970 contain LBP. Housing built prior to 1940 is highly likely to contain LBP (estimated at 90 percent of housing units nationally), and in housing built between 1960 and 1979, 62 percent of units are estimated to contain LBP.
Using the 75 percent national average of potential LBP hazard and applying it to the amount of units built prior to 1980 in the City, an estimated 18,217 units (8,966 owner-occupied and 9,251 renter-occupied) may contain LBP.
Furthermore, approximately 53 percent of households in the City are low and moderate income (earn less than 80 percent of AMI). This translates to approximately 16,436 housing units with potential LBP that may be occupied by low and moderate income households.
Lead poisoning also impacts children more severely, inflecting potentially permanent damage to young children, such as developmental disabilities. Approximately 24 percent of the owner-households and eight percent of the renterhouseholds built before 1980, have children (Table 36). Therefore, the number of units with potential LBP hazards and occupied by households with children is estimated at 4,793 units (3,548 owner-occupied units and 1,245 renteroccupied units).

Introduction
The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) has converted public housing properties to project based assisted and Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) units. RAD is a tool to preserve and improve public housing properties and address a backlog of deferred maintenance. Public stewardship of properties is maintained through the ongoing ownership by a public or non-profit entity. The RAD program shifts funds from public housing to make more Section 8 vouchers available.
The HACM also oversees the Housing Choice Voucher program for Salinas. As on November 2024, there were 4,023 HVC participants housed in Salinas. An additional 779 HCV applicants were looking for housing and 4,623 applicants were on the waitlist throughout Monterey County.

Describe the number and physical condition of public housing units in the jurisdiction, including those that are participating in an approved Public Housing Agency Plan:
As mentioned above, the HACM no longer owns public housing and nor is information supplied on the condition of units that are formerly public housing. However, RAD gives owners of RAD converted units (formerly public housing units) three HUD "legacy" programs (Rent Supplement, Rental Assistance Payment, and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation), offering them the opportunity to enter into long-term contracts that facilitate the financing of improvements to housing units.

Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderateincome families residing in public housing:
The HACM is represented on the Boards for the Community Alliance for Safety and Peace, Children’s Council for Monterey County, Coalition of Homeless Service Providers and the Leadership Council for the Continuum of Care.
In addition, HACM coordinates activities with public service providers to serve populations and households with special needs including the elderly and disabled. HACM also collaborates with non-profit organizations and local governments in the County on specialized vouchers, for example, Voucher for Family Unification. HACM also has transitional housing programs for homeless families that are recovering from alcohol or drug abuse.
HACM assists HCV users or households in need in other ways including using marketing strategies to reach out to low income and special needs populations; HACM ensures compliance with reasonable accommodation to disabled households; and works to make HCVs portable so that HCV users can move to areas of opportunity and avoid concentrations of poverty.
Discussion:
Though the HACM no longer owns public housing, the City will continue to coordinate with HACM as the regional housing authority in the administration of rental assistance at RAD and project-based housing properties, as well as the Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8).

CHSP is a group of private non-profit and public organizations working together to address the complex issues of homelessness throughout Monterey County. They have offered technical assistance and coordination on use of the HMIS whereby each homeless person is given a single identifier which enables each service provider to understand what services the person has accessed. As mentioned earlier, CHSP’s Lead Me Home Plan Update is a five year plan (July 2021 to June 2026) to reduce homelessness in Monterey and San Benito Counties.
The Monterey County Department of Social Services (DSS) and Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (CHSP) administers an inclement weather voucher program each year from November 1st through March 31st. Motel vouchers are provided to certain nonprofit organizations to use for homeless individuals or families as needed. In advance of inclement weather season, CHSP updates the county’s emergency shelter list and coordinates with DSS to distribute inclement weather voucher packets in order to support homeless service providers in preparation of their individual agency’s inclement weather response.
The FWJS operate Dorothy’s Place Hospitality Center in Salinas, whose services offered include a soup kitchen, hospitality that provides basic services, a transitional living program for 12 adults and a drop-in emergency shelter for homeless women. The center also includes a food bank and health clinic to provide onsite medical services.

The Monterey County Family and Children’s Services provides discharge planning and placement assistance to youth leaving foster care through a Transitional Independent Living Plan beginning when the youth turn 16 years old and every year thereafter. Through the Monterey County’s Independent Living Program (ILP) and Transitional Housing Program Plus, youth receive services focused on housing, employment, education, health, and transportation. Other programs available through the Monterey County System of Care, as part of the Monterey County Children’s Behavioral Health, such as the Mental Adult Transition Age Youth (TAY) program and Children’s Behavioral Health Outpatient Mental Health Services. The Epicenter, located in Salinas, is a drop-in resource center for youth ages 16 to 24 years old. Services include support for housing, education, employment and health.
Two non-profit agencies in Salinas offer services to meet the needs of victims of domestic violence. CHS offers the Salinas Warming Shelter (emergency shelter), and the YWCA of Monterey County provides the Lawson Safehouse (a confidential safe house for women and their children), legal advocacy services and a school-based program for children (K-5) of domestic violence.
The Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT) mission is to promote the health and safety of unhoused residents of the City of Salinas by providing essential emergency services through outreach, referrals, and service coordination.
SORT engages the City of Salinas unhoused population through outreach to build trust and rapport with the unhoused community. The team includes a collaboration with Peer Leaders with lived homeless experience which is necessary to reach individuals who are hesitant to work with service providers. SORT’s goal is to connect the unhoused residents to resources through housing pathways, education, and referrals to other service providers who offer Rapid Rehousing and Stabilization Support. Outreach workers and Peer Leaders, represent the homeless service provider network in the Salinas, Monterey, and San Benito Continuum of Care (CoC).
MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction
HUD requires that the City provide an overview of supportive housing currently available in the community for populations with special needs. Persons with special needs include the elderly and frail elderly; persons with disabilities; persons substance abuse disorders; and persons with HIV/AIDS, Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs Elderly:
According to the 2018-2022 ACS, the householder was over 65 for 8,540 households in Salinas (19 percent of all households). About 3,198 of these households were a senior (age 65 or older) living alone. Approximately 31 percent of households with an elderly householder rented and 69 percent owned their home. The prevalence of disability is an important factor in considering housing needs for the elderly. About 27 percent of the elderly population in Salinas has at least one disability. The most common disabilities among seniors age 65 or older are ambulatory difficulties (affecting 65 percent of seniors with a disability), followed by independent living difficulties (affecting 45 percent of seniors with a disability).
Additionally, the 2016-2020 CHAS data shows that 51 percent of households with at least one person age 62 or older are lower income (<80% AMI). Many elderly householders own their home. This indicates a need to programs to assist with maintenance and repairs for lower income elderly homeowners. Additionally, the elderly are more likely to have disabilities such as ambulatory difficulties and independent living difficulties. Thus, programs to make accessibility improvements to homes and supportive services l

services are needed to serve this population. Often frail elderly may be able to remain living independently in their homes with the help of services such as Meals on Wheels and Legal Services for Seniors.
Persons with Disabilities:
According to the 2018-2022 ACS, 8 percent of the population in Salinas was affected by one or more disabilities.
Among persons living with disabilities, ambulatory difficulties and cognitive difficulties were the most prevalent (each impacting 41 percent of persons with disabilities), followed by independent living difficulties (33 percent). As discussed above, disability is much more prevalent among seniors over age 65. Ambulatory difficulties, cognitive difficulties, and independent living difficulties were the more prevalent disability types in Salinas. Disabled persons could benefit from special modifications, adaptive equipment, or other features in their home. These individuals would also benefit from a variety of supportive services including health care and health programs, special education services, independent living assistance, and transportation services.
Persons with Alcohol or Other Drug Addictions:
The 2022 Monterey County Health Need Assessment (CHNA) is a comprehensive report on the health needs in Monterey County. The CHNA reports on a number of factors related to alcohol and substance abuse. According to the CHNA, a total of 26 percent of adults in the County are excessive drinkers. The CHNA reports that 3.6 percent of Salinas adults have used an illicit drug in the past month (compared to 6.1 percent Countywide) and 7 percent of Salinas adults have used a prescription opioid in the past year (compared to 11 percent Countywide.). Illicit drug and opioid use were highest among very low income and LGBTQ+ residents. Among the County’s homeless population, 40 percent reported having a substance use disorder, according to the 2024 Homeless Point-In-Time Count and Survey.
Certain school districts have a higher prevalence of students who abuse alcohol and drugs. More needs to be done to reduce the rate of alcohol and drug use among adolescents. Additionally, sober living homes provide a safe, supportive place to live while recovering from alcohol and drug addiction.
Persons with HIV/AIDS and Their Families:
Stable, affordable housing offers the best opportunity for persons living with HIV/AIDS to access drug therapies, treatments, and supportive services that will enhance the quality of life for themselves and their families. According to the Monterey County Health Department, there were 90 new HIV diagnoses between 2020 and 2022 in the County, 25 of which occurred in 2022 (most recent data available). For many of those living with HIV/AIDS, short-term assistance with rent, mortgage, or utility costs alone will provide the necessary support to remain healthy and in stable housing. Additionally, a large majority of persons living with HIV/AIDS in Salinas have low incomes and need support in the form of financial assistance for medical care, transportation, legal services, and other general support services.
Public Housing Residents:
HACM no longer administers a public housing program.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
In fulfillment of State law, the County Health Care system protocols describe discharge planning as an interdisciplinary responsibility. These procedures have been adopted whether a patient is being discharged from a prolonged hospitalization or has obtained care through the Emergency Room or Ambulatory Clinic. All medical disciplines may refer persons in need of discharge planning to the County Department of Social Services which makes assessments, provides information and arranges for care, and maintains DRAFT

medical care. Others, upon discharge routinely go to group homes, board and care facilities, or reunite with family or friends.
Per the Discharge Plan of Monterey and San Benito Counties, social workers in health institutions, like hospitals, will administer Coordinated Assessment and Referral System (CARS) assessments and input clients into the local CoC coordinated entry queue. Upon entry onto the master list, the CoC will start directly working with clients to locate appropriate housing interventions through a network of providers in the region.
Residential care facilities also provide supportive housing for persons with disabilities. The following types of facilities are available in the City:
1. Adult Day Care Facilities (ADCF): Facilities of any capacity that provide programs for frail elderly and developmentally and/or mentally disabled adults in a day care setting.
2. Adult Residential Facilities (ARF): Facilities of any capacity that provide 24-hour non-medical care for adults ages 18 through 59, who are unable to provide for their own daily needs. Adults may be physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, and/or mentally disabled.
3. Group Homes: Facilities of any capacity and provide 24-hour non-medical care and supervision to children in a structured environment. Group Homes provide social, psychological, and behavioral programs for troubled youths.
4. Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE): Facilities that provide care, supervision and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and grooming. They may also provide incidental medical services under special care plans.
These facilities are regulated by the State Department of Social Services (DSS), Community Care Licensing Division.
According to DSS licensing data, Community Care Licensing Division reports that in Salinas there are 21 adult residential facilities with a capacity to serve 207 residents and 19 residential care facilities for the elderly with a capacity to serve 370 residents.
Interim Inc. operates permanent supportive housing in Salinas and elsewhere in Monterey County for persons with psychiatric disabilities: Lupine Gardens (20 units), Sunflower Gardens (23 units), Sun Rose Apartments (17 units).

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment The City’s Housing Element contains discussions on governmental, market, and environmental constraints to housing development. The following is a brief discussion on barriers that relate to the use of HUD funds.
Lack of Affordable Housing Funds: The availability of funding for affordable housing falls severely short of the need.
In recent years, the State has passed new measures to create and expand affordable housing resources. In addition, the policy direction from the State also moves toward incentivizing affordable housing development through relaxation of development standards and procedures. However, production of affordable housing still lags seriously behind demand. The City’s 2023–2031 Housing Element includes several program actions to continue to support the development of affordable housing in the City. This includes providing gap financing, providing support for funding applications, offering technical assistance, predevelopment meetings, development incentives, maximizing use of public properties, land donation, and direct funding/zero-dollar impact fees.
Housing Price Appreciation: The City is dominated by two low-paying industries: agriculture and tourism. The gap between household incomes and housing prices grows larger year by year. In 2019, the State passed AB 1482, which became effective January 1, 2020. This Rent Cap law caps annual rent increases to no more than five percent plus an inflation adjustment. However, the City is looking to re-establish the First Time Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance Program.
Environmental Protection: State law (California Environmental Quality Act, California Endangered Species Act) and federal law (National Environmental Protection Act, Federal Endangered Species Act) regulations require environmental review of proposed discretionary projects (e.g., subdivision maps, use permits, etc.). Costs resulting from the environmental review process are also added to the cost of housing. Furthermore, opponents often use the CEQA process to block or delay housing development. However, recent changes to State law have significantly streamlined the review and approval processes (including CEQA requirements) for affordable housing. Specifically, reuse of vacant or underutilized sites in the Housing Element to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) will be eligible for by-right approval (CEQA exempt) if 20 percent or more of the units are set aside for lower income households.
State Prevailing Wage Requirements: The State Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) expanded the types of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. Prevailing wage adds to the overall cost of development.
Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages: A prevailing wage must be paid to laborers when federal funds are used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multi-family project over eight units. The prevailing wage is usually higher than competitive wages, raising the cost of housing production and rehabilitation activities. Davis-Bacon also adds to housing costs by requiring documentation of the prevailing wage compliance.
Planning and Development Fees: Development fees and taxes charged by local governments also contribute to the cost of housing.
Permit and Processing Procedures: The processing time required to obtain approval of development permits is often cited as a contributing factor to the high cost of housing. Unnecessary delays add to the cost of construction by increasing land holding costs and interest payments. However, recent changes in State law require streamlined review of housing developments and establishment of objective standards for review. With the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update, the City is reimagining its land use plan and Zoning Code, switching from traditional land use designations to a place-based system. These draft Place Types would offer greater flexibility and density and place less emphasis on strict use classifications. Their focus on place and form will make it easier to implement Objective and Development Design Standards and other changes to state law intended to reduce approval times for housing projects and streamline the review and approval process.

MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets – 91.215 (f) Introduction
The City’s business and economic diversity has historically been limited to agriculturally based activity. As shown in Table 41, the City offers more agricultural jobs than the available number of workers in this sector, indicating the importing of labor during peak harvest seasons. Furthermore, agricultural-related jobs tend to provide lower wages, potentially impacting many residents’ ability to afford housing and other services.
However, the City is working toward diversifying its economic base, promoting small businesses and attracting cuttingedge innovative technology. To achieve this goal, the City is focusing on education and workforce training, fostering opportunities for well-paid jobs in existing and new job sectors, infrastructure to support job growth and a safe community with amenities that can attract and retain skilled workers.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction? According to the Business Activity table above (Table 41), the following sectors employ the most residents in the City:
“Agriculture, Mining, Oil & Gas Extraction”, “Education and Health Care Services.”, “Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations” and “Retail Trade”. It should be noted that in the Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations sector, the number of there are over 2,000 more workers than jobs (6,971 versus 4,579). A concern voiced in the City is that a majority of employment sectors in Salinas do not provide high-wage employment.
The “Vision Salinas: Existing Conditions Report”, lists many of the large agricultural business ins Salinas, including Dole, Driscoll’s and Taylor Farms. The City is also working to grow its Agricultural Technology (AgTech) Industry.
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
Salinas General Plan Economic Development Element (adopted 2017, being updated in 2025): Salinas faces major workforce development challenges in the years ahead. Demographic trends show slow labor force growth and structural shifts in employment that change the knowledge, skill, and other performance requirements of jobs. A significant impact on workforce and economic development is the aging of Salinas’ large baby boomer generation, which is moving toward retirement.
In terms of infrastructure, there is a shortage in the amount of suitable, affordable housing for specialty crop farmworkers and their families throughout the region. Much of the housing currently used by farmworkers and their families is in serious need of replacement, upgrades, and/or repairs, and there are an inadequate number of new units being created. The inability of farms to provide housing for their workforce, in combination with barriers to worker travel (border control, gas prices), leaves open a large question about how to attract and retain a qualified labor force for this important industry. This is also partly the impetus for developing more agriculture-related technology solutions to growing and harvesting, as documented in the Vision 2040 Existing Conditions Report. This information, as well as key policies from the 2017 Economic Development Element will be incorporated into the new General Plan Economic Development Element, anticipated to be adopted in December 2025.
Agriculture is an important economic cluster in the City, with an economic impact that goes beyond the produce grown on farmland. There is the need for expanded and upgraded processing and distribution facilities, particularly as consumer preferences evolve and global competition changes product requirements. The viability of the Industrial Wastewater collection system and processing is critically important. The collection system that serves an industrial area focused on agriculture processing just outside the City limits is the site of thousands of jobs. The pipes are old and undersized for current needs.
Recognizing the critical need of providing adequate and affordable housing for its agricultural workforce, Salinas has established programs to help provide farmworker housing. The Farmworker Housing Action Plan for Salinas Valley and Pajaro Valley (2018) was developed to understand the specific needs and barriers related to farmworker housing and identify potential solutions. Survey data associated with the Action Plan found that 89 percent of farmworker households rented
DRAFT , and 93 percent of farmworker households were overcrowded. The Plan identified permanent Consolidated Plan SALINAS 60
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
housing for year-round farmworkers is the greatest need: 80 percent of farmworkers live in the region year-round. The County of Monterey has recently approved three farmworker housing projects adjacent to the City in recent years.
These are the Boronda Villas with housing for 600 workers, the Harvest Moon Apartments with housing for 1,200 workers, and Spreckels Crossing with housing for 800 workers. The City’s Housing Element includes actions to promote alternative housing types for farmworker housing, such as the conversion of motels/hotels and ADUs, identifying suitable sites in the city, exploring financing opportunities (such as the Joe Serna Jr Farmworker Housing Grant Program and USDA Section 514, 516, 521, 523 grants), and continuing regulatory reform to streamline requirements for farmworker housing.
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.
As mentioned above, the General Plan Update is anticipated to be adopted by the City in December 2025. As part of this update, the Economic Development Element, adopted in 2017, will be included. The draft goals and associated actions below outline the focus points for Salinas’ economic development:
Goal ED-1: Cultivate a diverse and adaptive economy that aligns with future economic trends and reinforces Salinas’ leadership in the agricultural industry.
• Encourage economic expansion while supporting the advancement of agricultural production and technology. • Attract new businesses on and adjacent to the agri-business supply chain.
Goal ED-2: Encourage a thriving business environment through supporting start-ups, growing current businesses, and attracting new industry to build a dynamic economic landscape in Salinas with higher paying employment opportunities. • Develop a business retention program and streamline licensing and permitting processes. • Improve access to capital for all stages of business growth and support entrepreneurship and innovation.
Goal ED-3: Narrow social and economic disparities in the City of Salinas through workforce development and community support.
• Increase access to education and vocational training for youth and adults to prepare them for relevant and high-quality job opportunities.
• Support residents in improving their neighborhoods.
Goal ED-4: Enhance retail, entertainment, and tourism opportunities throughout the City. • Promote the City and its unique neighborhoods as cultural, arts and shopping destinations. • Develop a Citywide strategy to combat sales tax leakage and strengthen local retail.
Goal ED-5: Coordinate public and private investment along disinvested commercial corridors. • Improve the appearance of commercial corridors through design guidelines that strengthen district identity and programs such as façade improvements.
• Support business owners with ADA compliance and increasing accessibility.
The EDE introduces “Economic Opportunity Areas” identified as destinations for future investments. These sites include existing vacant or underutilized land within the city limits and some developed and vacant potential infill areas.
Many Economic Opportunity Areas are located in or adjacent to the Focused Growth Overlay Areas described in the City’s General Plan. The EDE promotes the redevelopment and revitalization of the existing five General Plan “Focused DRAFT

Growth Overlay Areas” (Laurel Drive at North Main Street, North Main Street/Soledad Street, South Main Street, Abbott Street, and East Alisal Street/East Market Street) to accommodate significant volume of new development capacity.
In addition to the General Plan, the City has several other efforts underway to address the economic development environment in Salinas. These include:
Alisal Vibrancy Plan: This plan follows the boundaries of the Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (ANRSA), which has been recognized by HUD as a NRSA since 1993. The Alisal Vibrancy Plan includes goals for attracting business opportunities and increasing access to education training while also maintaining Alisal’s unique character.
Chinatown Revitalization Plan: This plan is built on previous efforts to revitalize and bring needed resources to the Chinatown area of Salinas, which is located immediately north of downtown. Economic development goals of this Plan include attracting new types of businesses while retaining and expanding on new opportunities and increasing access to education training, entrepreneurship programs and employment opportunities while maintaining the area as a unique cultural destination.
Central Area and West Area Specific Plans: These Specific Plans focus on the North of Boronda Future Growth Area (FGA), which is an area that was annexed by the City 2008. These Specific Plans includes a variety of land uses including small scale office and retail uses as well as public and semipublic facilities.
Infrastructure plans to help support economic growth and job creation in Salinas include the East Alisal Street Corridor Plan, the Central Area Specific Plan, the West Area Specific Plan and the Active Transportation Plan. The General Plan Update will include a revised Circulation Element to support the growth efforts described in the other General Plan Elements.
The City’s Economic Development Department is implementing a Façade Improvement Pilot Program focusing on enhancing storefronts along the commercial corridors in the Alisal area.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
According to the Business Activity table above (Table 41), the following sectors employ the most residents in the City:
“Agriculture, Mining, Oil & Gas Extraction”, “Education and Health Care Services.”, “Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations” and “Retail Trade”. It should be noted that in the Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations sector, the number of there are over 2,000 more workers than jobs (6,971 versus 4,579). A concern voiced in the City is that a majority of employment sectors in Salinas do not provide high-wage employment.
As shown in Table 45, over half of employees in Salinas have a high school diploma or less (56 percent). Only 18 percent of employees have a bachelor’s degree or higher. This educational attainment corresponds median income earnings: workers who do not have a high school diploma earn an average of $22,850 a year, those with a high school diploma earn $31,896, those with some college or an associate’s degree earn $39,679 and those with a bachelor’s degree earn $61,375 (Table 47). Many of these incomes make it difficult to afford housing in Salinas and the surrounding areas in the County.
As shown in Table 41, there are more workers in Salinas than jobs (50,780 workers versus 43,899 jobs). The City’s unemployment rate was 5.02 in 2020, although the rate for people ages 25 to 65 was lower, at 3.47 (Table 42). A majority of jobs are located within 30 minutes for workers (72 percent), while 22 percent of workers travel between 30 and 59 minutes and six percent commute an hour or more ( DRAFT
Table 44).

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.
Center for Employment Training (CET): One Stop Career Center in Salinas assists in career services such as resume writing, education and training, and online job searches. More specialized services include individual counseling and career planning, case management and training services.
Workforce Innovation Fund: The Monterey County Workforce Development Board offers training grants to Monterey County employers wanting to upskill their seasoned (incumbent) workers. These grants, provided through the Incumbent Worker Training Program, help qualifying firms upgrade the skills of existing employees to help the business remain competitive, increase profits, and support the growth of the business.
Monterey County Works: The Monterey County Workforce Development Board has a partnership with the Monterey/Santa Cruz Building and Trade Council. A pre-apprenticeship training program (10-week/350-hours), provides workers with skills needed in various trades.
CSU Monterey Bay Small Business Development Center (CSUMB SBDC): The regional Center is partially funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration and locally hosted in a City-owned property in downtown. Services provided include workshops/training covering the basics of start-up, marketing a product or service, financing a small business and topic specific workshops are offered as community needs are assessed. CSUMB SBDC has received a grant to help the City attract and create new jobs in the wake of the closure of Capital One, a large employer in the city.
Confidential assistance, training, information and networking opportunities will be provided to new and existing businesses, helping them access resources such as wage subsidies and training grants that will facilitate the growth of jobs and skill improvement.
Salinas Education Center: Provides programs for basic educational services (Adult Basic Education program), academic job skills programs (ESL, GED, High School Diploma, college prep) and other enrichment education programs (parent education, Spanish for professionals, health and safety).
Monterey County Business Council (MCBC): MCBC created the Central Coast Career Consortium to address the skill gap in its workforce. Specifically, MCBC contracted with WorkKeys, a division of ACT, Inc., to address the job profiling and testing skills of employees and contracted with the Career Ready 101 to provide computer-based training courseware to support sill improvement.
Monterey Bay Economic Partnership (MBEP): MBEP consists of public, private and civic entities located throughout Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties, united in the vision to increase prosperity and enhance the quality of life for all citizens. The MBEP site was launched to brand the Monterey Bay Region as a top tier location for economic development and investment in order to create new business opportunities and a dynamic job base.
Hartnell Community College: Hartnell has a satellite Alisal campus in the Alisal area of Salinas with agriculture, construction, advanced technology and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) training facilities.
Rancho Cielo: Although physically located outside the City limits of Salinas, the majority of the Rancho Cielo participants are from Salinas. Rancho Cielo is comprehensive learning and social services center for underserved youth on 100 acres. RC offers educational opportunities to students who could not achieve their academic goals in a traditional school setting. They provide support services, vocational training (e.g. culinary, construction and horticulture) and job placement services. Most students are on probation when referred to Rancho Cielo but recommendations may also come from the juvenile court, schools or parents. Graduates receive a high school diploma or GED. The program is operated in partnership with the Monterey County Probation Department, which provides supervision, case management for students involved in the juvenile court, meals and transportation; and the Monterey County Office of Education

Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? The City is participating in the County’s 2021-2026 CEDS.
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 County’s CEDS for 2021-2026 focuses on the Agriculture, Tourism and Hospitality and Health Care and Social Assistance industries in Monterey County and how to create a strong technology and innovation ecosystem. This is similar to the goals of the City that aim to introduce higher paying jobs in the top industries in Salinas (which mirror those of the County).

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
Housing problems impact lower and moderate-income households disproportionately, compared to non-low- and moderate-income households. Therefore, areas with concentrations of low- and moderate-income households are likely to have high rates of housing problems.
The definitions of low- and moderate-income concentrations in the City are defined as block groups where 51 percent of the population is low and moderate income. Low and Moderate Income Areas are located generally in the center of the City (including the entire Alisal neighborhood), the Downtown areas, and in parts of North Salinas (Error! R eference source not found.). Most of the Low- and Moderate-Income Areas were also identified as minority concentration areas (Error! Reference source not found.), an indication that certain parts of the City have a d isproportionate number of lower income minority residents.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") According to the 2018-2022 ACS, the racial/ethnic composition of the population in Salinas was: 80 percent Hispanic; 12 percent White (non-Hispanic); five percent Asian and Pacific Islander; one percent African American; and two percent indicating other race/ethnic group.
A mapping of concentrations prepared for this CP illustrates the location of these block groups (Figure 2). A minority “concentration area” is defined as an area whose proportion of minority population is greater than the overall Monterey County average (71 percent). With the exception of a few census tracts in the southern portion of the City, the majority of Salinas is identified as a minority concentration area. Many of these areas correspond to Low- and Moderate-Income Areas.
Most of the poverty concentration areas were also identified as minority concentration areas. In an effort to identify racially/ethnically-concentrated areas of poverty (RECAPs), HUD defines RECAPs as Census Tracts:
• With a majority non-White population (greater than 50 percent); and • With a poverty rate that exceeds 40 percent or is three times the average tract poverty rate for the metro/micro DRAFT
area (in 2010), whichever threshold is lower.
Consolidated Plan SALINAS 64
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In Salinas, four RECAPs are identified by HUD. One area consists of census tract 3.00 located in Downtown. The remaining three areas include four census tracts (0.01, 5.01, 7.01 and 7.02) and are located within the ANRSA.
Reflective of the City’s demographics, over 72 percent of all Salinas residents speak languages other than English at home. Approximately 28 percent of the residents living in Salinas speak only English at home. A large segment of the population speaks English less than very well. Overall, in the City, approximately 48 percent of the population speaks English less than very well.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? As of February 2025, Zillow data indicates that median home values have increased by over 60 percent again since 2020 to $728,998. Rents have also continued to rise. A rental survey in February 2025 found the following median rents in Salinas: Studio - $1,635, 1-bedroom: $2,044, 2-bedroom: 2,650, and 3-bedroom - $3,300. One 4-bedroom unit was listed for $3,750. With housing costs rising for both homeowners and renters, cost burden and overcrowding remain significant concerns, especially for lower-income residents.
Approximately 5,765 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI resided in the City; however, there were only 1,066 dwelling units affordable to those at this income level. Similarly, there were 6,755 households earning between 31 and 50 percent of AMI and only 4,135 housing units affordable to those at this income level. With approximately 13,380 housing units in Salinas that were affordable to households earning between 51 and 80 percent AMI, there were more than enough units to accommodate the 9,395 households at this income level. However, a housing unit affordable to a particular income group does not mean the unit is actually occupied by a household in that income group. Therefore, the affordability mismatches are likely to be more severe than what is presented by the CHAS data.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? The City has a strong network of active and dedicated non-profit organizations and community groups that work to address the housing and community development needs in the low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. CHISPA (Community Housing Improvement Systems and Planning Association, Inc.) is the largest private, non-profit housing developer based in Monterey County. Since its incorporation in 1980, CHISPA has built and renovated more than 2,000 single-family homes and apartments for low and moderate-income people in Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz Counties. With its offices in downtown Salinas, CHISPA is a nonprofit Community-based Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and owns a number of properties in the ANRSA.
CHISPA offers onsite educational and recreational programs for the residents in its rental properties. The programs are offered through partnership with local community organizations and individual instructors, including YMCA, Boys and Girls Club of Monterey County, Read to Me Project, Alisal Percussion, Arts Council for Monterey County, and Alliance on Aging.
The Downtown Streets Team (DST) program includes teams in the Downtown and Alisal neighborhood area. DST is a non-profit that organizes teams for beautification and clean-up projects. Team members are unhoused persons or those at risk of becoming homeless. They receive access to case management, system navigation and employment placement services.
Other community assets in these areas include schools, community centers and parks.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The City will continue to collaborate with the agencies and organizations in the City to ensure services and programs are delivered in a cost-effective manner and provide assistance to those who are most in need. The City has several strategic plans underway in the Downtown and Alisal areas, including a comprehensive General Plan Update with a new Environmental Justice Element.

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.
According to the 2023 Five-Year Census data, approximately 93.5 percent of households in Salinas have broadband service. However, the percentages differ based on income level. Eighty percent of households earning less than $20,000 annually have broadband, compared to 91.3 percent of households earning between $20,000 and $74,999 and 96.6 percent of households earning $75,000 or more. During the community outreach for this Consolidated Plan, the survey included questions about broadband service. Of the 127 respondents, 66 percent had high speed internet access. Of the 43 people who did not have it, 30 people (70 percent) said it was too expensive.
The Salinas Broadband Master Plan, adopted by the City in 2024, examines the broadband needs of the City and creates an actionable strategy that the City can use to achieve universal broadband access. Utilizing the California Interactive Broadband Map, areas with service gaps were identified. Large clusters were found in specific communities and are listed in the Master Plan. Based on this information, the Master Plan provides a roadmap for the deployment of a City-wide fiber optic network. This network is divided into different segments that can be developed in phases and includes collaboration with stakeholders. A total of 32 segments, for a total of 55.1 miles, were identified. Prioritization of the phases is based on the following: (1) quality and availability of current broadband, (2) available broadband options, (3) facilitates connections to public spaces, (4) facilitates economic growth, (5) percentage of K-12 age population, and (6) supports existing City operations. The Master Plan also includes funding opportunities and key stakeholders as the City implements the network phases.
Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.
The following is a full list of ISPs in the region: AT&T; CENIC ;Spectrum; Comcast; Cruzio; Etheric; Frontier Communications; HughesNet (satellite); Pinnacles Telephone Company; Razzolink ; RedShift; SoMoCo (wireless); Sonic.net; Suddenlink ; Surfnet; Verizon; Viasat (satellite). The primary broadband providers are AT&T, Comcast, and Spectrum Communications. While larger ISPs have the financial ability to fund new broadband infrastructure, it can be very difficult for smaller ISPs to obtain outside funding (such as State grants) to develop additional broadband infrastructure. Smaller ISPs cannot receive state or federal funding to build modern infrastructure in the areas covered by AT&T, Comcast and Spectrum. Please refer to the discussion of the City’s Broadband Master Plan above that explains the City’s approach to broadband access city-wide.
MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
Monterey County is potentially vulnerable to a wide range of hazards. These hazards can threaten the life and safety of residents and visitors and have the potential to damage or destroy both public and private property and disrupt the local economy and overall quality of life. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) makes the development of a hazard mitigation plan a specific eligibility requirement for any local government applying for federal mitigation grant funds.
Monterey County adopted its first Monterey County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2007 and updated it 2016 and 2022. In the 2022 Plan,
DRAFT
a separate climate change hazards section was added. The highest risk hazard for Consolidated Plan SALINAS 66
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Monterey County was drought and water shortage. Drought risk is likely to increase due to future climate change scenarios.
The City is undergoing a comprehensive General Plan Update as well as adopting a new Climate Action Plan (CAP).
The CAP will address potential climate related hazards as well as actions the City can support to encourage sustainable energy practices. It is anticipated that these policy documents will be adopted late 2025/early 2026.
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
The socially and/or economically disadvantaged, such as low- and moderate-income households are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change as they tend to be exposed to the most severe climate-related hazards and are least able to cope with the associated impacts due to their limited adaptive capacity. In the California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment for the Central Coast Region, it was stated that the 2011-2016 multi-year drought resulted in disadvantaged communities in areas of the Central Coast region, such as the City of Salinas, being highly affected by water shortages.
In order to help disadvantaged communities with climate change impacts, the City’s Climate Action Plan and General Plan updates mentioned above help to address the needs of vulnerable populations. The General Plan update includes a Health and Environmental Justice Element. This Element addresses ways to minimize impacts to vulnerable populations. Vulnerable populations include renters, the elderly, those who are less mobile, households without air conditioning, households lacking access to grocery stores, households in treeless areas, and households on impervious land cover. In addition, people in rural areas are more likely to be affected by climate change impacts, such as droughts or severe storms.

The City is seeking recertification of the ANRSA by HUD with the following changes:
• Changes in demographic and housing conditions; and
• Enhanced strategies and programs to address housing and community development needs.
The ANRSA is located in the heart of Salinas, the county seat and largest municipality in Monterey County. The ANRSA covers approximately 2.6 square miles, or about 11 percent of the whole City. The NRSA includes all or portions of the following contiguous Census tracts and block groups. These are:
▪ Census tract 5.01 block groups 1, 2, and 3
▪ Census tract 5.02 block groups 1 and 2
▪ Census tract 6 block groups 1, 2, 3, and 4
▪ Census tract 7.01 block groups 1, 2, and 3
▪ Census tract 7.02 block groups 1, 2, 3 and 4
▪ Census tract 8 block groups 1, 2, and 3
▪ Census tract 9 block groups 1, 2, and 3
▪ Census tract 106.07 block groups 1 and 2
▪ Census tract 106.08 block groups 1 and 2
The ANRSA, located just east of Highway 101, is predominately residential (76 percent), most of which is lower-density residential. Medium-density residential uses are located in the northeastern and southeastern portions of the ANRSA. Higher-density uses are located in these areas, as well as along the major corridors such as Williams Road, Sanborn Road, Laurel Drive, and Alisal Street. Commercial and mixed-use areas are located along the NRSA’s three major corridors (Williams Road, Sanborn Road, and Alisal Street).

and commercial
characteristics of this target
area.
According to the American Community Survey (ACS), the ANRSA had a total population of 46,490 persons between 2019 and 2023. Approximately 78.3 percent of this population was comprised of residents with low and moderate incomes and 95 percent of the residents in this neighborhood were Hispanic.
The majority of the households were families with children (64 percent) and 46 percent of the households were large households with five or more members. Approximately 23 percent of the residents were living below poverty level.
Residents in this area also face various housing issues. The housing stock in DRAFT
the ANRSA is considered older, with about 70 percent built before 1979 (50 Consolidated Plan SALINAS 68
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
or more years old). About 27 percent of renter households spent more than 30 percent of their incomes on housing. Specifically, almost 23 percent spent more than half of their incomes on housing. Overcrowding also impacted approximately 44 percent of the households in this area.
Public safety is also a concern in this neighborhood. While the overall crime rate in Salinas has fallen in recent years, crime rate remains high compared to statewide statistics.
Many small, local businesses operate in the ANRSA to serve the local residents. Many businesses operate in substandard commercial buildings – with no financial means to make improvements. Many small businesses are also operating on tight cash flows and are unable to invest in equipment that would help increase their revenue and hiring capacity
A detailed profile for the ANRSA is included as a companion document to this CP.

Chinatown has not kept pace with the population growth that has occurred in the region and has experienced decline in the past few decades. While Chinatown was once a neighborhood with vibrant economic activities in Salinas, it now represents less than one percent of the City’s population, housing units and jobs.
The Chinatown area has a serious homeless issue, with an increasing and concentrated number of temporary encampments in the area. The amount of unreported violence, theft, drug sales and use, in Chinatown is also extensive.
The majority of the businesses are auto related, such as auto repair shops, towing companies and taxi services, located near the main arterials, such as North Main Street, Sherwood Drive and Market Way. In addition, several light industrial/warehouse businesses are located along Lake Street and California Street.
The neighborhood has a few eating and drinking establishments and there are also a few economy‐lodging establishments on Lake Street and Market Way. The majority are small businesses employing one to just a few employees.

Identify the needs in this
target area.
In comparison, Chinatown’s population is younger, more ethnically diverse, and has lower levels of educational attainment than Salinas as a whole. It is a predominately low-income community, with families comprising the majority of households.
The number of individuals living on the streets in Chinatown has dramatically increased over the years. Individuals experiencing homelessness camp and store personal belonging on public sidewalks throughout the area, including directly in front of and inside vacant properties, a physical condition that it impossible to avoid or ignore.
As a result of isolation and lack of investment, the physical condition of Chinatown is in a general state of deterioration and meets the federal definition of Slum and Blight where at least 25% of properties and or infrastructure throughout the area experience physical deterioration of buildings, contamination and/or abandonment of properties, and significant declines in property values.

there are few active businesses. While single- and multi-family residential structures encompass much of the area east of Sherwood Drive, in recent years, new affordable multi-family, senior and permanent supportive housing units have been constructed immediately adjacent to and within the Chinatown Core, bringing more residents to the neighborhood.
What are the opportunities
for improvement in this
target area?
A strong and dedicated network of public, quasi-public, and nonprofit agencies works in the Chinatown area. The City, CSUMB and the SDCB, comprised of stakeholders in the neighborhood, including various houses of worship, nonprofit agencies that serve the homeless, community members, property owners and businesses, are all collaborating to implement the CRP.

Table 48 - Geographic Priority Areas
General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA)
The City has established the Alisal area as a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA). As part of this CP update, the City is seeking recertification of the ANRSA. The Strategic Plan for the ANRSA is included as Appendix E to this CP. The City has consistently allocated significant resources to the ANRSA to address housing and community development issues.
The City’s goal with services to the homeless is based on the continuation of engaging with the community regarding possible geographic consolidations of homeless services in specific neighborhoods. In the Soledad Street area, the City continues to support the work of the SDCB, property and business owners, governmental agencies, educational institutions and area homeless providers and advocates to revitalize the neighborhood in balance with other community needs. The City continues to work with the CHSP to determine the best projects that would meet the goals of the group and eliminate homelessness.
The improvement of physical and social conditions in underserved and low- and moderate-income neighborhoods is a key component of efforts to create livable communities. Resources and assistance are to be consolidated and targeted to specific neighborhoods in a coordinated, mutually reinforcing manner. Examples of such resources include additional public services programs or funding, improved park and recreation facilities, other public improvements, access to capital and housing rehabilitation. The City is also actively working to improve accessibility to public buildings.
Additional goals within the City are not based on a geographic area, but are focused on needs throughout the community, which qualifies under HUD requirements as over 51 percent of low- and moderate-income population.

The City will support the operation of homeless shelters and other homeless facilities, as well as transitional housing for the formerly homeless, including runaway and emancipated youth. This is a citywide priority, with an emphasis in the Chinatown area. The City partners with the SDCB, Chinatown Homeless Action Team (CHAT), and CHSP to address the homeless situation in the Chinatown area, among other areas. The City is pursuing opportunities to create additional homeless facilities to better serve this population.

According to the 2024 Monterey County Homelessness Point-in-Time Count and Report, 2,436 individuals in Monterey County, including 1,216 individuals in Salinas, were homeless during the Point-in-Time (PIT) count conducted in January 2024. Countywide, the homeless population increased by 19 percent since 2022. In Salinas, the homeless population increased by about 14 percent since 2022. Approximately 78 percent of the homeless population in Salinas is unsheltered (949 individuals).
The homeless population in Salinas is diverse, with extensive needs for a range of supportive services. The City must use its limited funding efficiently by leveraging with other resources and in a manner that coordinates services through the Regional CoC system.
Once a person becomes homeless, significant resources are required to transition that person back to the mainstream. The trauma of being homeless usually renders many incapable of handling the situation without substantial intervention. Therefore, a critical component of the City's homeless strategy is homeless prevention and rapid re-housing. 5 Priority Need

Table 49 – Priority Needs Summary
Narrative (Optional)
In establishing five-year priorities for assistance, the City has considered input from various sources including: the Housing and Community Needs Survey, demographic and empirical data analysis, interviews with staff and service providers, direct input by residents and stakeholders during Community Workshops and pop-up events, and coordination with City policy documents, such as the City’s Housing Element, General Plan Update documents, AVP, CRP and PRLMP. Other considerations for establishing priorities include cost-effectiveness of programs; eligibility under HUD regulations; and other available resources to address the needs.
During the public outreach process, participants ranked some programs as important that are not included in Table
49. A brief explanation is included below:
• Street Lighting: this priority has not been included in the Consolidated Plan since additional street lighting is part of the Capital Improvement Plans in the Public Works Department. • Homebuyer Assistance: the First Time Buyer Program has been on hiatus due to a lack of funding. However, the City plans to try and restart the program utilizing State funds. • Housing for Large Families – the City can utilize its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to help meet the need of DRAFT

About 4,200 extremely low and very low-income households in the City had severe housing problems (overcrowding, cost burden of 50 percent, and substandard housing). As funding permits, the City will continue to allocate ESG funds for Rapid Re-Housing services. HOME funds in the City are targeted for creating permanent affordable housing; the City does not anticipate using HOME funds for TBRA.
Tenant Based Rental Assistance programs help bridge the gap between market rents and what lower income households can afford.
TBRA for Non-Homeless Special Needs The City's Rapid Re-Housing is targeted to help extremely low-income and low-income households and those who have recently become homeless. This homeless prevention program is not targeted for special needs groups. Tenant Based Rental Assistance programs help bridge the gap between market rents and what lower income households can afford
New Unit Production There is a substantial need for affordable housing in Salinas, especially affordable rental housing. Renter-households are disproportionately impacted by housing problems. The City will utilize HOME and CDBG funds to create new affordable rental opportunities through new construction.
Rehabilitation There is a substantial need for affordable housing in Salinas, especially affordable rental housing. Renter-households are disproportionately impacted by housing problems. The City will utilize HOME and CDBG funds to create new affordable rental opportunities through substantial rehabilitation. The City has found substantial rehabilitation as a costeffective strategy for providing long-term affordable housing and improve neighborhood conditions. In addition, the City will continue to provide emergency repair and housing rehabilitation assistance to lowand moderate-income homeowners.

SP-35 Anticipated Resources - 91.215(a)(4), 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction
The City is an entitlement jurisdiction for CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds, and has been allocated $2,179,417 in CDBG funds, $791,387.44 in HOME funds, and $188,399 in ESG funds for FY 2025-2026.
In estimating the amounts of funding available over this Consolidated Plan period, the City took a conservative approach to assume the average HUD funding allocations from the five prior years. This would be about $10,000,000 in CDBG funds, $3,375,000 in HOME Program funds and $837,500 in ESG Program funds.
In terms of CDBG program income (PI), the City does not anticipate a steady stream of significant PI over the course of this Consolidated Plan. The City expects to receive about $30,000 per year in monthly loan payments. For HOME Program PI, the City expects to receive an average of about $60,000 per year. PI may come from final loan-payoffs for the repayment of Rehabilitation (CDBG and HOME), First‐Time Homebuyer (HOME) loans, residual receipts of multifamily development loans, and other loan payoffs. These funds will be re‐programmed to allowable projects to be identified during the Annual Action Plan process.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Affordable Housing: In Salinas’ programs, the most frequent example of leveraging occurs in the development of new affordable housing projects. Due to the high cost of developing housing, it is essential for non-profit housing developers to construct new projects by leveraging and matching financial resources from a variety of sources. No matter the primary source of funding (e.g., federal Low-income Tax Credits, HUD Section 811 financing, USDA housing programs), none will finance the entire cost to develop housing. Salinas uses both CDBG and HOME funds to leverage the participation of other funders.
The flexibility inherent in CDBG rules makes it particularly appropriate for pre-development process as critical support for non-profits that often are pressed for pre-development funds. Similarly, HOME guidelines emphasize the importance of using HOME to fill in ‘financing gaps’ that often result when projects face more rigid requirements established either by particular loan regulations, or due to the degree of competition for other financing.
Public Services: For the Public Services subrecipients CDBG funding is often an essential source of funds to access other funds. None of the subrecipients’ essential safety net programs are funded exclusively by CDBG.
Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements: There are other more subtle forms of leverage. Public investment in a particular neighborhood (upgrading water mains or installing traffic signals or street lighting) can be an inducement for additional investment by area property owners affected by the improvements.
Home Match Requirements: Pursuant to HUD regulations, all participating jurisdictions (PJs) must contribute or match 25 cents for each dollar of HOME funds spent on affordable housing. The HOME statute allows for a reduction of the matching contribution requirement under three conditions: 1) fiscal distress, 2) severe fiscal distress, and 3) for Presidentially declared major disasters. When a local jurisdiction meets one of these distress conditions, it is determined to be in fiscal distress and receives a 50 percent reduction of match. If a local jurisdiction satisfies both of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in severe fiscal distress and receives a 100 percent reduction of match. As of FY 2023, the City is considered fiscally distressed and receives a 50 percent reduction in HOME match requirement, based on the City’s per capita income ($28,813) and poverty level (14.2 percent). The City has adequate accrued match from Housing Asset Funds (former redevelopment funds) to be ‘banked’ against its future match requirements.
ESG Match Requirements: The ESG program has a dollar-for-dollar match requirement. Federal (non-ESG), state, local, and private funds may be used as a match. The City’s ESG match requirement is satisfied with a variety of funding sources. Subrecipients are required to provide their planned ESG match on the funding application, with the actual match reported at the end of the program year.

For example, the City prepared the AVP and the CRP to address affordable housing, homeless, and economic development needs in the ANRSA and Chinatown area, respectively. The City works closely with CHSP to identify homeless needs and priorities. The City also collaborates with a number of nonprofit and quasi-public affordable housing developers to expand affordable housing opportunities in the City. Through the City’s Grow Salinas Fund (GSF) and other economic development activities, the City has identified a need for small business assistance, which includes technical assistance and access to capital.

Table 53 - 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 City works with various homeless service providers, quasi-public entities, and public agencies to coordinate services for the homeless.
Temporary accommodations built by homeless people in public spaces are increasing in the City and create health and safety problems for citizens within the community. As an effort to reduce encampments in the Chinatown neighborhood, the City converted a leased building and parking lot at 115-125 East Lake Street into the CNC. MidPen recently completed the construction of a 90-unit residential project (Moon Gate Plaza) in which a certain number of units are set-aside specifically for permanent supportive housing for homeless persons.
The FWJS operate Dorothy’s Place Hospitality Center in Salinas, whose services offered include a soup kitchen, hospitality that provides basic services, a transitional living program for 12 adults and a drop-in emergency shelter for homeless women. The center also includes a food bank and health clinic to provide onsite medical services. FWJC has started microenterprises in the Chinatown neighborhood with the goal of providing job training and skill development. CSUMB’ Service Learning Program’s Chinatown Renewal Project includes the CSUMB Learning Center which offers free broadband access to Chinatown community members and also functions as a classroom where residents can gain job readiness as well as conflict resolution skills.

issues include the OMNI Resource Center in Salinas, a program through Interim Inc. that provides a mental health wellness center, and NAMI Monterey County, whose services include educational outreach and providing services access.
Nido Clinic in Salinas and Opis Clinic in Monterey provide HIV Clinical care and treatment to residents in the County.
In addition, the County Health Department distributes an HIV/STD Resource Guide that identifies resources for HIV, drug/alcohol, and mental health counseling services. The Monterey County HIV Planning Group meets regularly to establish policies and identify service gaps in the service delivery system.
The Interim Inc. MCHOME Program is a collaboration between Interim, Inc. and the Monterey County Department of Behavioral Health to get mentally ill adults off the street into housing and employed and/or on benefits. Counselors are able to do outreach to the homeless in the community and then work with them to assess if they fit the criteria of chronic homelessness and psychiatric disabilities by having them meet with the psychiatric social worker and psychiatrist.
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 has identified several gaps in the service delivery system which include limited funding compared to needs, housing price escalation, and rising homeless population.
The continuous escalation of housing prices in the City, and region as a whole, has resulted in an increased number of households experiencing housing cost burden and other housing problems such as overcrowding and inadequate housing conditions. The high costs of housing also have exacerbated the issues of homelessness.
The City continues to see increased numbers of the homeless population. The funding available is not enough to build warming shelters, housing, and provide enough resources for the City to properly handle the numbers of homeless.
The resources required for the homeless population also include health care, education, rapid rehousing and more.
Funding and finding proper locations with the facilities necessary for the population are just scratching the surface on the needs that the City is trying to meet.
The administrative caps on HUD funds are also problematic. As HOME administration expenses are capped at 10 percent, CDBG administration funds are needed to supplement the HOME funds.
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 City collaborates with the County of Monterey and develops a joint funding application process/system to help reduce administrative works associated with funding application and reporting. Use of City Data Services allows for more efficient and accurate management of the funds.
The City has a Housing and Land Use Committee and Technical Advisory Committee for Housing Policies and Procedures. These committees provide an additional forum for non-profits, stakeholders and members of the public to communicate with the City regarding housing and community development needs and plans for future projects. The Housing and Land Use Committee is tasked with the objective of enhancing coordination and improving the effectiveness and efficiency in using HUD funds. The Housing and Land Use Committee services as a formal recommendation body to the City Council regarding housing related items.
The City has implemented a two-year funding cycle for CDBG and ESG public services along with a competitive funding application that reduces the administration effort by the City and non-profits and allow for funding to assist in serving more clients. The City will also continue to monitor and evaluate the changing needs within the City and how best to fund various agencies to assist the low

The caps for program administration costs (20 percent for CDBG, 10 percent for HOME, and 7.5 percent for ESG) do not provide adequate funds to perform all the general planning, program implementation, reporting, and monitoring functions required by these programs. Therefore, as allowed by HUD, the City allocates a portion of the activity funding to delivery costs that are directly associated with implementation of specific activities or programs.

Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.315(b)(2) Rental Units Constructed:
The City anticipates using CDBG and HOME funds to expand the affordable housing inventory for extremely low, low, and moderate-income households through new construction, acquisition, and/or rehabilitation. Using an average perunit subsidy of $200,000, the City anticipates directly subsidizing the production of twenty-five (25) affordable units which will consist of three (3) extremely low-income, three (3) low-income, and nineteen (19) moderate-income.
Rental Units Rehabilitated:
CDBG and HOME funds will also be used to provide emergency repairs and rehabilitation assistance to existing homeowners. Approximately three (3) extremely low-income, three (3) low-income, and nineteen (19) moderateincome, for a total of twenty-five (25) households to be assisted.
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance/Rapid Rehousing:
ESG and/or HOME funds will be used to provide tenant-based rental assistance/rapid rehousing. Approximately fifty (50) extremely low-income households will be assisted with these funds.
SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement – 91.215(c) Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement)
The Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) has converted public housing properties to project based assisted and Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) units. RAD is a tool to preserve and improve public housing properties and address a backlog of deferred maintenance. Public stewardship of properties is maintained through the ongoing ownership by a public or non-profit entity. The RAD program shifts funds from public housing to make more Section 8 vouchers available.
Activities to Increase Resident Involvements
Residents at HACM properties have the right to establish and operate a resident organization in accordance with 24 CFR Part 245. In addition, residents will be eligible for resident participation funding Is the public housing agency designated as troubled under 24 CFR part 902? No

Barriers to Affordable Housing
As presented in MA-40, potential barriers to affordable housing opportunities can be related to public policies, zoning ordinances, fees and charges and other policies that affect the return on residential investment. Amending local zoning and land use laws or allocating funding for affordable housing through grants are mechanisms that can support the development of affordable units. Changes in policie

opportunity by the implementation of plans that will revitalize areas with existing affordable housing by improving services, schools and other community assets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure.
Policies to guide future development and achieve a vision for the community are contained in the City’s General Plan.
Two of the seven State mandated General Plan elements—Housing and Land Use Elements—have direct impact on the local housing market in terms of the amount and range of housing choice. The Zoning Ordinance, which implements the Land Use Element, is an important document that influences the amount and type of housing available in a community—the availability of housing choice.
The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element was adopted by the City in December 2023 and found to be compliance with State law in February 2024. The City is currently updating the General Plan, including the Land Use Element. The City is reimagining its land use plan and Zoning Code, switching from traditional land use designations to a place-based system. These draft Place Types would offer greater flexibility and density and place less emphasis on strict use classifications. Their focus on place and form will make it easier to implement Objective and Development Design Standards and other changes to state law intended to reduce approval times for housing projects and streamline the review and approval process.
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing The City continues to utilize CDBG and HOME funds to assist in the development of affordable housing and will continue to pursue additional funding for affordable housing programs and development. In addition, the City will implement the following actions identified in its 2023-2031 Housing Element to remove barriers to affordable housing:
• Program 2: Financial Assistance and Gap Financing: The City will continue to facilitate the expansion of the City’s affordable housing inventory through new construction, acquisition, and or rehabilitation. • Program 3: Prohousing Designation: The City will maintain its Prohousing Designation Program (PDP) from the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). The Prohousing Designation provides incentives, in the form of additional points or preferences in the scoring of competitive applications for housing and infrastructure for City projects.
• Program 4: Accessory Dwelling Units: The construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) will continue to be promoted and facilitated in order to expand the supply of affordable housing stock within city limits. • Program 7: Reduce Housing Production Constraints: The City will monitor existing development fees, including in-lieu fees, development impact fees, and processing fees, to ensure they are not a constraint to the feasibility of affordable housing development.
• Program 16: Local Education Workforce Housing: In 2022 the City adopted an ordinance (ZCA 2022- 002) amending chapter 37 of the Salinas Municipal code to allow a school district or community college district to acquire, construct rehabilitate, or preserve affordable rental housing for its staff or public consistent with the Teacher Act of 2016.
• Program 17: Farmworker Housing Production & Financing: The City will pursue the implementation actions suggested by the Farmworker Housing Study and Action Plan for Salinas Valley and Pajaro Valley in order to expand the quantity and diversity of housing available to farmworkers.
SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs In addition to the information provided in section MA-30, the following Housing Element programs outline strategies to reach out to homeless persons and assessing their individual needs:
• Program 19: Implementation of the Lead Me Home Plan/Update including expanding service-oriented DRAFT
responses to unsheltered homelessness.
Consolidated Plan SALINAS 88
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Program 21 Street Outreach Program: The City of Salinas developed an effective, comprehensive homeless services program to provide essential street outreach, navigation services, and engagement support to unsheltered residents. The City of Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT) engages the City’s unhoused population through outreach to build trust and rapport with the unhoused community. The team includes a collaboration with Peer Leaders with lived homeless experience which is necessary to reach individuals who are hesitant to work with service providers.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In addition to the information provided in section MA-30, the following Housing Element programs outline strategies to reach out to homeless persons and assessing their individual needs:
• Program 22: Engage in Regional Coordination of Homeless Issues: Engage in regional coordination on homelessness issues, with a focus on addressing disparities, emergency crisis, and winter storm evacuation orders.
• Program 23: Housing Navigation and Stabilization Program: The City’s Housing and Community Development Division will continue to seek methods of improving homeless service response. In close collaboration with the Salinas Outreach and Response Team a new pilot Housing First Housing Navigation and Stabilization Program will be developed to assist with housing navigation, landlord engagement and retention services. Additional services include financial assistance to assist with housing subsidies, rental assistance, and landlord incentives.
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.
In addition to the information provided in section MA-30, the following Housing Element programs outline strategies to reach out to homeless persons and assessing their individual needs:
• Program 24: Develop Permanent Supportive Housing Units: Support expansion of affordable, permanent supportive housing units for homeless individuals and families. The City assembled and led an effective public/private partnership to apply to both Round 1 (2020) and Round 2 (2021) of the State’s Homekey Program resulting in three awarded projects totaling $38,700,000. Cumulatively, these projects will provide 202 new affordable permanent supportive housing units to those experiencing chronic homelessness.
Rehabilitation and occupancy of these projects is currently underway with full occupancy expected in Spring of 2024. In addition, through Cal ICH Family Homeless Challenge grant award and potential additional ARPA funds the City intends to purchase and create five (5) new, affordable single-family units and the additional construction of five (5) new ADUs/JADUs for unhoused families.
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being 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 On May 8, 2007, the City adopted a Discharge Coordination Policy pertaining to the discharge of persons from publicly funded institutions and systems of care. As the City neither owns nor operates any such facilities, the impact was largely symbolic. The Countywide Continuum of Care organization seeks to coordinate discharge policies among publicly funded institutions and systems of care.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In 2012, state foster-care providers worked to implement a 2010 California law that extends foster care to age 21 and may help foster teens find their way to transitional-living homes. The California Fostering Connections to Success Act, or AB 12, was designed to curb the high rates of homelessness and incarceration among former foster children. AB 12 calls for the state to offer housing and support services for young adults in foster care between the ages of 18 and 21, as long as they are enrolled in school, working, or, making progress toward those goals, or, are disabled.
Foster care youth who turned 18 in 2012 were the first group under the new law, and were provided options: stay with their foster families, live with relatives, or be placed in a Supervised Independent Living Program. Counties statewide worked with the California Department of Social Services to implement a fourth housing option, a Transitional Housing Program designed specifically for former foster children ages 18 to 24, known as THP-Plus Foster Care.
In Monterey County, Peacock Acres Transitional Housing (PATH) is the provider for Monterey County’s THP-Plus, which offers qualified youth up to 24 months of subsidy in a supported environment while they pursue their formalized Transitional Independent Living Plan (T.I.L.P.). PATH operates in scattered site housing and provides employment opportunities, educational support, scholarships and grants, career coaching, money management skills, social skills, and cooking, shopping, nutrition, stress reduction and life management skills.
The City also funds the Rancho Cielo's transitional housing program for at-risk youth.
In fulfillment of State law, the County Health Care system protocols describe discharge planning as an interdisciplinary responsibility. These procedures have been adopted whether a patient is being discharged from a prolonged hospitalization or has obtained care through the Emergency Room or Ambulatory Clinic. All medical disciplines may refer persons in need of discharge planning to the County Department of Social Services which makes assessments, provides information and arranges for care, and maintains referral lists for placements for persons requiring ongoing medical care. Others, upon discharge routinely go to group homes, board and care facilities, or reunite with family or friends.
Per the Discharge Plan of Monterey and San Benito Counties, social workers in health institutions, like hospitals, will administer Coordinated Assessment and Referral System (CARS) assessments and input clients into the local CoC coordinated entry queue. Upon entry onto the master list, the CoC will start directly working with clients to locate appropriate housing interventions through a network of providers in the region.
The City also makes an effort to coordinate with the County of Monterey and their work with the City Police Department to address homelessness, including those who have been released from correctional programs and institutions. The Salinas Valley State Prison is located in the City of Soledad, but the County Jail is located in Salinas.
SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards Inspection/assessment of housing units built before 1978 by a HUD certified LBP inspector is required for units participating in the City’s housing rehabilitation loan program. Before an assessment is ordered, an initial visual inspection is done by City’s Housing Rehabilitation Specialist for signs of lead-based paint hazards and alerting homeowners of potential hazards. Property owners participating in the City’s rehabilitation loan program are also eligible to receive grants to cover the costs of mitigation measures for standard treatment/abatement of any existing lead paint hazards.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Housing age is the key variable used to estimate the number of housing units with lead-based paint (LBP). Starting in 1978, the federal government prohibited the use of LBP on residential property. National studies estimate that 75 percent of all residenti
DRAFT
al structures built prior to 1970 contain LBP. Housing built prior to 1940 is highly likely to contain Consolidated Plan SALINAS 90
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
LBP (estimated at 90 percent of housing units nationally), and in housing built between 1960 and 1979, 62 percent of units are estimated to contain LBP.
Using the 75 percent national average of potential LBP hazard and applying it to the amount of units built prior to 1980 in the City, an estimated 18,217 units (8,966 owner-occupied and 9,251 renter-occupied) may contain LBP.
Furthermore, approximately 53 percent of households in the City are low and moderate income (earn less than 80 percent of AMI). This translates to approximately 16,436 housing units with potential LBP that may be occupied by low and moderate income households.
Lead poisoning also impacts children more severely, inflecting potentially permanent damage to young children, such as developmental disabilities. Approximately 24 percent of the owner-households and eight percent of the renterhouseholds built before 1980, have children Table 36.. Therefore, the number of units with potential LBP hazards and occupied by households with children is estimated at 4,793 units (3,548 owner-occupied units and 1,245 renteroccupied units).
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The Lead Hazard Reduction Grant is part of the Housing Services Program in the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element (Program 10).
The City provides public information and facilitates training for building contractors who remodel and rehabilitate Salinas’s housing. Before any project can be awarded, a current LBP certificate must be documented in the contractor file.
Property owners/renters may be relocated using the LBP grant when necessary. During the application stage of any of the City Housing programs, property owners/tenants receive EPA’s “Protect Your Family from Lead in your Home” educational pamphlet, which is available in multiple languages.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Affordable Housing: In Salinas’ programs, the most frequent example of leveraging occurs in the development of new affordable housing projects. Due to the high cost of developing housing, it is essential for non-profit housing developers to construct new projects by leveraging and matching financial resources from a variety of sources. No matter the primary source of funding (e.g., federal Low-income Tax Credits, HUD Section 811 financing, USDA housing programs), none will finance the entire cost to develop housing. Salinas uses both CDBG and HOME funds to leverage the participation of other funders.
The flexibility inherent in CDBG rules makes it particularly appropriate for pre-development process as critical support for non-profits that often are pressed for pre-development funds. Similarly, HOME guidelines emphasize the importance of using HOME to fill in ‘financing gaps’ that often result when projects face more rigid requirements established either by particular loan regulations, or due to the degree of competition for other financing.
Public Services: For the Public Services subrecipients CDBG funding is often an essential source of funds to access other funds. None of the subrecipients’ essential safety net programs are funded exclusively by CDBG.
Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements: There are other more subtle forms of leverage. Public investment in a particular neighborhood (upgrading water mains or installing traffic signals or street lighting) can be an inducement for additional investment by area property owners affected by the improvements.
Home Match Requirements: Pursuant to HUD regulations, all participating jurisdictions (PJs) must contribute or match 25 cents for each dollar of HOME funds spent on affordable housing. The HOME statute allows for a reduction of the matching contribution requirement under three conditions: 1) fiscal distress, 2) severe fiscal distress, and 3) for Presidentially declared major disasters. When a local jurisdiction meets one of these distress conditions, it is determined to be in fiscal distress and receives a 50 percent reduction of match. If a local jurisdiction satisfies both of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in severe fiscal distress and receives a 100 percent reduction of match. As of FY 2019, the City is considered fiscally distressed and receives a 50 percent reduction in HOME match requirement, based on the City’s per capita income ($18,345) and poverty level (18.86 percent). The City has adequate accrued match from Housing Asset Funds (former redevelopment funds) to be ‘banked’ against its future match requirements.
ESG Match Requirements: The ESG program has a dollar-for-dollar match requirement. Federal (non-ESG), state, local, and private funds may be used as a match. The City’s ESG match requirement is satisfied with a variety of funding sources. Subrecipients are required to provide their planned ESG match on the funding application, with the actual match reported at the end of the program year.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan

The City will pursue a range of activities to expand affordable housing opportunities for lowerand moderate-income households, including those with special needs (seniors, large households, farmworkers, disabled, homeless, etc.) Emphasis will be on affordable rental housing due to funding limitations and urgency of needs. The City will continue to provide rehabilitation assistance to homeowners for housing rehabilitation, accessibility improvements, and installing energy conservation systems in homes. In addition, the City will continue to provide assistance to individual homeowners to make necessary repairs, code corrections, energy conservation features, and accessibility improvements. 2 Goal Name Enhanced Homeless Prevention, Services, and Facilities Goal
Description
The City will utilize both ESG and CDBG funds to coordinate services and facilities for the homeless. This is a citywide priority with an emphasis on the Chinatown area. The City's strategy for addressing homeless needs is three-pronged: 1) homeless prevention; 2) homeless services; and 3) homeless facilities. The intent is to reduce the risk of homelessness, and address the needs of those rendered homeless using a continuum of care approach by supporting services and facilities that complement the existing Continuum of Care system. 3 Goal Name Enhanced Neighborhood Conditions
Goal
Description
The City will provide a range of community development activities, including community and supportive services, expansion/improvement to community facilities and infrastructure, and economic development activities. The City will coordinate services and improvements in a manner that concentrate investments in specific neighborhoods in order to provide more lasting and impactful improvements.
4 Goal Name Planning and Program Administration
Goal
Description
The City will continue to implement the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs in compliance with all applicable regulations and requirements. The caps for program administration costs (20 percent for CDBG, 10 percent for HOME, and 7.5 percent for ESG) do not provide adequate funds to perform all the general planning, program implementation, reporting, and monitoring functions required by these programs. Therefore, as allowed by HUD, the City allocates a portion of the activity funding to delivery costs that are directly associated with implementation of specific activities or programs.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs Inadequate funding is the most significant obstacle for serving the underserved needs. The extent of needs in Salinas far exceeds the available funding from the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs.
Most activities to be pursued by the City with CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds will be leveraged with a variety of funding sources, including grants from State, Federal, and local governments; private foundations; capital development funds; general funds; private donations of funds or services; and other various funding sources. For the provision of affordable housing, the City partners with non-profit housing developers such as MidPen, CHISPA, and HDC (Housing Authority of the County of Monterey Development Corporation), which all utilize a multi-layer approach to funding affordable housing. The City is looking to expand the number of non-profit housing developers that are operating within the City limits for FY 2025-2026. To achieve this, the City launched a Housing Forum to provide information on funding opportunities and disposition.
The HOME program requires that for every HOME dollar spent, the local jurisdiction must provide a 25 percent match with non-federal dollars. However, given the distressed conditions in Salinas, the City consistently receives a 50 percent reduction in the match requirements. HUD approved the HOME wavier which includes the CHDO set aside requirement.
Given the limited annual allocations in CDBG funds, the City may pursue the use of the Section 108 loan guarantee within the five-year CP period in order to support large-scale projects.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The City's strategy is to focus its investment in a most impactful manner by providing significant investments in two target areas, the ANRSA and Chinatown. Specifically, the City has designated the Alisal as a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA). In addition, the Chinatown area is identified as a HUD Slum and Blight designated local target area, as it is currently isolated from the rest of the City and is seeing serious issues of homelessness, unreported violence and a high percentage of low- and moderate-income residents. Most public services are available to residents citywide. However, by nature and/or location of some of the activities/programs, youth from the ANRSA and Chinatown would benefit greatly from many of these programs.
Some programs/projects are not located in any target areas nor are they available Citywide, so the geographic distribution of funds does not add up to 100%. Programs/projects that are not in target areas or available citywide are qualified by LMC, so they are not required to be located in a target area.
Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area 10%
Chinatown Area 36%
Table 60 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically These two areas represent the most distressed neighborhoods in the City. These areas have the highest concentration of poverty and substandard living conditions. The Alisal area includes some of the most distressed neighborhoods in Salinas. The area faces challenges such as inadequate public infrastructure, high levels of unemployment, high levels of poverty, and violent criminal activity. Within the ANRSA, 23 percent of all residents lives in poverty, a higher proportion than the City overall (19 percent).
The 12 blocks that form the Chinatown area are located primarily within Census Tract 18.02 Block Group (BG) 2. This BG has a population of about 2,193, with 69.8 percent being low and moderate income.

Introduction
HACM owns and manages 22 housing developments in Salinas (879 units). These developments have been converted from Public Housing to Project-Based Rental Assistance. Nineteen of the 22 HACM housing complexes in Salinas are concentrated within the ANRSA.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The City is not directly involved in the planning and development of public housing in the City. Based on the current policy direction of HUD, no new public housing will be developed. However, the City works closely with HACM to create affordable housing in the community.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
HACM’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program is designed to help families with a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) establish a savings account and find stable employment. FSS is a Federal Government program that offers the opportunity of homeownership and other options to clients that successfully complete the five-year program. Programs and services through FSS may include career counseling, job training, credit counseling and homeownership preparation. The program helps prepare residents for HACM’s Homeownership Program, allowing first-time homebuyers to use their HCV to help with monthly homeownership expenses.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Homeless:
• City of Salinas – Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT) – Rapid Rehousing Program • Community Homeless Solutions – Chinatown Navigation Center (CNC) – Rapid Rehousing Program
Fair Housing:
• ECHO – Housing Rights and Tenant/Landlord Services that benefit many special needs groups such as seniors and disabled.
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 implements outreach services with in-house staff through the Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT) City of Salinas by providing essential emergency services through outreach, referrals, and service coordination. SORT engages the City of Salinas unhoused population through outreach to build trust and rapport with the unhoused community. In addition, coordinates services with partner outreach agencies through to CoC Outreach Committee which includes agencies such as Downtown Streets Inc. and Interim Inc. The City provides ESG funding to Community Homeless Solutions, which operates the Chinatown Navigation Center and its Rapid Re-Housing program to transition those unhoused to permanent housing options.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons For FY 2025-2026, HUD ESG will not be used to support Emergency Shelter or Transitional Shelter. However, the City utilizes other sources of funding to support emergency shelter needs through Encampment Resolution Funding and General Fund. The City will be providing support to rapid re-housing programs. • Community Homeless Solutions – Chinatown Navigation Center (CNC) • Community Human Services – SHARE Center
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 CNC, partially funded by ESG funds and operated by Community Homeless Solutions, will include rapid rehousing services by providing rent subsidies and housing referrals for homeless households participating in their program. This program will help homeless households attain permanent housing or shorten the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness.
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 Several agencies, such as the Natividad Medical Center and the Monterey County Family and Children’s Services provide discharge planning and placement assistance. The Natividad Medical Center Mental Health Unit and Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital work with community agencies to assist in finding the appropriate level of care and housing.
The Monterey County Family and Children’s Services provides discharge planning and placement assistance to youth DRAF-

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
The most critical barrier to affordable housing in Salinas is the need for decent and affordable housing far exceeds the City's available resources. The City will continue to aggressively pursue funding available at the local, state, and federal levels to supplement its limited funds.
The City values its partnership with non-profit housing developers such as CHISPA, MidPen, HACM, and Interim Inc. in pursuing innovative strategies to addressing the City affordable housing needs, including providing more permanent housing options for the homeless.
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's Inclusionary Housing Program is an effective strategy for providing affordable housing in the community and to help achieve the goal of de-concentrating affordable housing in the ANRSA, allowing residents other locational choices. The State of California also passed SB 329 in 2019, prohibiting housing discrimination against persons using public assistance (including Housing Choice Vouchers) to pay for housing. This source of income protection could potentially open housing options for many of the City’s low- and moderate-income households. The City has updated its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to enhance the program's effectiveness. This update was completed in June 2017.
The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element was adopted by the City in December 2023 and found to be compliance with State law in February 2024. The City is currently updating the General Plan, including the Land Use Element. The City is reimagining its land use plan and Zoning Code, switching from traditional land use designations to a place-based system. These draft Place Types would offer greater flexibility and density and place less emphasis on strict use classifications. Their focus on place and form will make it easier to implement Objective and Development Design Standards and other changes to state law intended to reduce approval times for housing projects and streamline the review and approval process.
The City will implement the following actions identified in its 2023-2031 Housing Element to remove barriers to affordable housing:
• Program 2: Financial Assistance and Gap Financing: The City will continue to facilitate the expansion of the City’s affordable housing inventory through new construction, acquisition, and/or rehabilitation. • Program 3: Prohousing Designation: The City will maintain its Prohousing Designation Program (PDP) from the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). The Prohousing Designation provides incentives, in the form of additional points or preferences in the scoring of competitive applications for housing and infrastructure for City projects.
• Program 4: Accessory Dwelling Units: The construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) will continue to be promoted and facilitated in order to expand the supply of affordable housing stock within city limits. • Program 7: Reduce Housing Production Constraints: The City will monitor existing development fees, including in-lieu fees, development impact fees, and processing fees, to ensure they are not a constraint to the feasibility of affordable housing development.
DRAF-
Consolidated Plan SALINAS 110
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Program 16: Local Education Workforce Housing: In 2022 the City adopted an ordinance (ZCA 2022- 002) amending chapter 37 of the Salinas Municipal code to allow a school district or community college district to acquire, construct rehabilitate, or preserve affordable rental housing for its staff or public consistent with the Teacher Act of 2016.
• Program 17: Farmworker Housing Production & Financing: The City will pursue the implementation actions suggested by the Farmworker Housing Study and Action Plan for Salinas Valley and Pajaro Valley in order to expand the quantity and diversity of housing available to farmworkers.
Discussion:
See discussions above.
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The extent of housing and community development needs in Salinas far exceeds the City's funding capacity. To utilize its limited funding in the most cost-effective manner, the City targets its investments in the most distressed neighborhoods in the community.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Unhoused city residents are among the most underserved groups in Salinas and available ESG funding continues to fall far below what is needed to address the City's homeless issues. In response, the City continues to take the lead to serve as the Administrative Entity for additional ESG allocations from HCD ESG programs for the CoC service area (Monterey and San Benito Counties). Additionally, the City is an active, collaborative partner with the local CoC on the 2021-2026 five-year update of the Regional Monterey and San Benito Counties Plan to End Homelessness (Lead Me Home Plan).
Two areas in the City – ANRSA and Chinatown – both have concentrated issues relating to disproportionate housing needs and inadequate/aging community facilities and infrastructure. By establishing these areas as target areas, the City prioritizes allocating resources to benefit these neighborhoods.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing CDBG funds will be planned to be used to support the City’s Housing Rehabilitation, Emergency Repairs, Lead-Based Paint Reduction, and Housing Accessibility Assistance programs.
For FY 2025-2026, the City is setting aside its HOME allocation and program income (except for 10 percent for administration) for affordable housing development, or other affordable housing activities. No specific project has been identified yet. The City will continue to pursue other affordable housing projects with non-profit partners in the County.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Inspection/assessment of housing units built before 1978 by a HUD certified LBP inspector is required for units participating in the City’s programs. Property owners participating in the City’s programs are also eligible to receive grants to cover the costs of mitigation measures for standard treatment/abatement of any existing lead paint hazards as long as funding is available.
The Lead Hazard Reduction Grant is part of the Housing Services Program in the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element (Program 10).
DRAF-
Consolidated Plan SALINAS 111
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City provides public information and facilitates training for building contractors who remodel and rehabilitate Salinas’s housing. Before any project can be awarded, a current LBP certificate must be documented in the contractor file.
Property owners/renters may be relocated using the LBP grant when necessary. During the application stage of any of the City Housing programs, property owners/tenants receive EPA’s “Protect Your Family from Lead in your Home” educational pamphlet, which is available in multiple languages.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The following programs, actions and policies to reduce the number of households in poverty align with the City’s General Plan:
• Support the efforts of housing developers providing affordable housing opportunities in Salinas, particularly rental and multi-family housing.
• Provide housing rehabilitation programs targeting lower income homeowners and units serving lower income renter-households to correct deficiencies and improve the livability of residential property. • Provide assistance to lower income homeowners in need of housing modifications to improve accessibility and foster continuing independent living.
• Support fair housing services.
• Support community organizations providing services to the disabled community, particularly those that assist with securing and maintaining decent, appropriate housing. • Support increased community education regarding those with disabilities, both general and with regard to housing needs.
• Support homeless service providers in Salinas and the larger community. Continue to support the development of transitional housing, emergency shelters, and supportive services designed to address the needs of homeless and those at-risk of homelessness.
• Support City and community programs focused upon the recreational and educational needs of Salinas’ youth. • Provide assistance to local businesses through the GSF to create and retain employment for low- and moderate-income persons.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City collaborates with the County of Monterey to develop a joint funding application process/system to help reduce administrative work associated with its funding application and program reporting. Use of City Data Services allows for more efficient and accurate management of the funds.
The City has established a Housing and Land Use Committee to provide an additional forum for non-profits, stakeholders, and members of the public to communicate directly with the City regarding housing and community development needs and plans for future projects. The Housing and Land Use Committee is tasked with the objective of enhancing coordination and improving the effectiveness and efficiency in the City utilizing its entitlement HUD funds.
Specifically, the Housing and Land Use Committee serves as a formal recommendation body to the City Council regarding housing related items.
The City has implemented a two-year funding cycle for CDBG and ESG public services along with a competitive funding application that would yield less administration effort by the City and non-profits and allow for funding to assist in serving more clients. The City will also continue to monitor and evaluate the changing needs within the City and how best to fund various agencies to assist the low-moderate income citizens with CDBG and ESG public services funds.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies DRAF-
Consolidated Plan SALINAS 112
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

No other forms of HOME investments beyond those previously described.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
The City suspended its First-Time Homebuyer Program in 2014. Existing loans will be subject to the City's recapture/resale provisions.

transfer of the property, prior to the expiration of the period of affordability, to the extent there are sufficient “net proceeds”. Net proceeds are defined as the amount of sale proceeds remaining (if any) after payment of any superior loan(s) (Other than HOME funds) and customary closing costs. If upon the voluntary or involuntary sale of a property prior to the expiration of the period of affordability there are insufficient net proceeds to pay the balance remaining of the First-Time Homebuyer Program, the homebuyer is relieved from any further obligation to pay the indebtedness.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds. See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:

Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)
1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) All subrecipients receiving funding must establish and consistently apply these written standards:
An initial evaluation to determine program eligibility of individuals and/or families will be conducted by the agencies/service providers. It will establish the kind, and the amount of assistance needed. Evaluations will be conducted in accordance with the requirements set forth under §576.400(d) and the written standards established under §576.400(e).
DRAF-
Consolidated Plan SALINAS 114
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Agencies/service providers will reassess the eligibility of individuals and/or families; the kind and amount of assistance needed for program participants receiving homelessness prevention services will be reassessed monthly and quarterly for program participants receiving rapid re-housing assistance. Each reassessment of eligibility will ascertain that:
• The program participant does not have an annual income that exceeds 30% of the median family income for the area, as determined by HUD;
• The program participant lacks sufficient resources and support network necessary to retain housing without ESG assistance.
In order to be funded with ESG funds, an agency/service provider is required to be a collaborative member of the CoC. This avoids duplication of services and allows a smooth transition and/ or delivery of services rendered. In addition, the collaborative further engages and coordinate resources to improve streamlining of current programs and funding strategies and provide ongoing training as procedures and bylaws are ratified and refined.
The City will allow ESG-funded agencies that provide rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention services to determine the prioritization of eligible families. In addition, CHSP established basic registration and screening processes (intake, referral, eligibility, documentation verification, case notes, to name a few) that allow all agencies a more consistent determination on the initial risk assessment during the intake process.
ESG-funded agencies that provide rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention services may determine the share of rent and utilities costs that each participant must pay. However, if applicants show income, they must pay 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income towards rent.
ESG-funded agencies shall assist individuals and/or families for no more than 24 months, during any 3-year period – this in accordance with the general conditions under §576.103 and §576.104. Program participants receiving rapid re-housing assistance are required to be re-evaluated at least once every year and those receiving homeless prevention assistance must be re-evaluated at least once every three months. As mandated by HUD, all program participants receiving project-based rental assistance must have a lease that is for a period of one year, regardless of the length of rental assistance.
Rental assistance may be provided for short-term (up to 4 months) or medium-term (from 4 to 24 months). Rent in arrears is paid to the owner of the housing at the time the security deposit and 1st month’s rent are paid. After 4 months, if program participants need additional financial assistance to remain housed, they must be evaluated for eligibility to receive up to 20 additional months of medium-term rental assistance. Case Managers will provide ongoing case management to transition program participants to independence.
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.
CHSP is in the process of developing an assessment system. Due to geography and other factors, The CoC has elected “coordinated” assessment and referral system as opposed to centralized assessment and referral. The Coordinated Assessment and Referral System (CARS) is intended to offer those seeking services multiple locations from which they can access services; each agency doing intake using the same set of agreed-upon assessment and targeting tools; makes referrals using the same criteria; and has access to the same set of referrals. The CARS is designed to improve service provision and data efficiency and improvement through a standardized access and assessment process for all clients and a coordinated referral process for clients to receive prevention, housing, and/or other related services. Key CARS strategies include: 1) Tailor to local needs and systems; 2) Ensure access for all in geographic area; 3) Implement in parts/pieces; 4) Use HMIS; 5) ID available resources in system; 6) Quality assurance; and 7) Test and adjust.

3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).
The City is an “Entitlement City” and as such receives a funding allocation relating to population from HUD. The funding, subject to federal budget authorization, is provided on an annual basis and coincides with the City’s July 1 through June 30, fiscal year.
To distribute funds previously mentioned, the City typically conducts an annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). However, for this AAP cycle the City opted to self-direct funding to better meet the needs of the community.
The NOFA process begins with published notices in the local newspapers, both in English and Spanish.
Notifications are sent out to the various non-profit agencies that provide public services to the community. A workshop is held by City staff to assist with proposals and to inform applicants of changes and new regulations.
The application is available online by visiting www.citydataservices.net.
All proposals must be submitted electronically. A deadline is provided for the submission of proposals. It is normally a minimum of thirty (30) days from the day the NOFA application notice is published. Applications that are incomplete, lack required attachments, or applications submitted after the published deadline are not to be considered for funding. After the closing date, proposals are first reviewed for completeness and then evaluated against applicable HUD regulations, the City’s CP, City Council goals and objectives, and other related City policy (e.g., General Plan).
Funding recommendations are developed be housing staff taking into account total available funds, applicant experience, project readiness and feasibility, leveraging of funds, track record with City (when applicable), and likelihood for timely use of HUD funds. Staff recommendations are forwarded to the Housing and Land Use Committee for a formal recommendation to City Council.
Then recommendations are taken to City Council for final approval. The City Council meets regarding the draft CP and AAP to obtain public and Councilmember comment. Advance notices are published in local newspapers to allow for a minimum thirty (30) day public review and comment period in adherence to the City’s CPP. The City Council if the final local decision-making body over HUD entitlement funding and approves recommendations and authorizes the submittal of the CP and AAP and other required documents to HUD.
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
Under § 576.405(a) of the Interim Rule, all subrecipients are required to meet the homeless participation requirement, which calls for not less than one homeless or formerly homeless individual on the board or other equivalent policymaking entity. All agencies currently receiving ESG funding meet the homeless participation requirement by having a formerly homeless person on its board or policymaking entity. In addition, all potential ESG applicants for funding are asked to certify meeting the homeless participation requirement under Part 11, #5 of the NOFA application. This is critical because part of our standard policies dictate that applicants not meeting this requirement will not be considered for funding.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.
The following performance standards for evaluating ESG activities were developed in consultation with the CoC using the format detailed in Section 427(b) of the McKinney-Vento Act (as amended by the Hearth Act). These standards will be used to evaluate eac

the number of homeless persons, reducing the amount of time people are homeless, and mitigating housing barriers for the participants. Staff will work closely with the CoC as well as the subrecipients this first year and over time to determine the reasonableness of these standards.
Barriers faced by individuals and families (participants), or the length of time participants remain homeless:
• extent to which participants experience repetitive homelessness • effectiveness of subrecipient in reaching the homeless • overall reduction in the number of homeless
• job and income growth
• success at reducing the number of participants who become homeless Plan of the subrecipient to:
• reduce the number of participants who become homeless • reduce the length of time participants remain homeless • identify participants who become or remain homeless through collaboration with local education agencies • fulfill other criteria such as: addressing the needs of all relevant subpopulations incorporating comprehensive strategies for reducing homelessness setting quantifiable performance measures setting timelines for completion of specific tasks identification of specific funding sources for planned activities identification of individual/group/agency responsible for overseeing implementation of specific strategies • exercise authority to use funds under section 422(j)

Salinas Housing Resource Allocation Discussion
Veronica led a discussion on the allocation of resources for housing and service provision in Salinas. Geoff highlighted the challenges of high construction costs, limited funding, and an uncertain federal budget due to leadership changes. He emphasized the need to concentrate resources to ensure projects are completed. Veronica agreed, noting the importance of prioritizing needs over the next five years.

PUBLIC HEARING
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development FY 2025-29 Consolidated Plan, FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan and Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 16, 2025, the City of Salinas (City) will make available to the public for review and comment the draft United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-29 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan), FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan (AAP) and Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (ANRSA).
The FY 2025-29 Con Plan covers the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, and identifies the housing and community development needs in the City and sets forth a strategic plan for addressing the identified needs within the context of HUD entitlement Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grants Program (ESG) funding. The FY 2025-29 Con Plan also satisfies the minimum statutory requirements for CDBG, HOME and ESG.
The FY 2025-29 Con Plan serves as the official application to HUD for CDBG, HOME and ESG and includes the first year FY 2025-26 AAP which covers the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The FY 2025-26 AAP describes proposed activities, projects, programs and funding amounts to be implemented with HUD CDBG, HOME and ESG.
The FY 2025-26 AAP also includes estimates of HUD allocations in the amount of approximately $2,000,000 (CDBG); $30,000 in CDBG Program Income (PI); $700,000 in HOME funds; $50,000 in HOME PI and $170,000 in ESG funds. Estimated funding is based on FY 2025-26 funding allocations, program income and prior year carry-over.
However, all proposed CDBG, HOME and ESG activities will be proportionally increased or decreased from the estimated funding levels to match HUD final allocation amounts.
Under CDBG, HUD offers a special tool to deliver focused revitalization activities through Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) regulations. Typically, expenditure of CDBG funds must meet strict eligibility and recordkeeping requirements. Communities with approved NRSAs are offered enhanced flexibility in undertaking economic development, housing, and public service activities with CDBG funds within the NRSAs. This flexibility is designed to promote innovative programs in economically disadvantaged areas of the community. The City’s Alisal Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (ANRSA) was last updated in 2020. As a result, the City is also proposing to update its ANRSA concurrently with the FY 2025-29 Con Plan.

Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano de los Estados Unidos Plan Consolidado para el Año Fiscal 2025-29, Plan de Acción Anual para el Año Fiscal 2025-26 y Área de Estrategia de Revitalización de Vecindarios de Alisal

El Con Plan para los años fiscales 2025-29 cubren el período del 1 de julio de 2025 al 30 de junio de 2030 e identifica las necesidades de vivienda y desarrollo comunitario en la ciudad, y establece un plan estratégico para abordar las necesidades identificadas en el contexto del desarrollo comunitario de HUD del Programa de Subvenciones para Bloques de Desarrollo Comunitario (CDBG), el Programa de Alianzas de Inversión en vivienda (HOME) y el Programa de Subvenciones de Soluciones de Emergencia (ESG). El Con Plan para los años fiscales 2025-29 también cumple con los requisitos legales mínimos para CDBG, HOME y ESG.
El Con Plan para los años fiscales 2025-29 sirve como la solicitud oficial a HUD para CDBG, HOME y ESG e incluye el primer año del AAP para FY 2025-26 que cubre el período del 1 de julio de 2025 al 30 de junio de 2026. El AAP para el año fiscal 2025-26 describe las actividades, proyectos, programas y montos de financiación propuestos que se implementarán con HUD CDBG, HOME y ESG. El AAP para el año fiscal 2025-26 también incluye estimaciones de las asignaciones de HUD por un monto de $2,000,000 (CDBG); $30,000 en Ingresos del Programa CDBG (PI); $700,000 en fondos HOME; $50,000 en HOME PI y $170,000 en fondos ESG. La financiación estimada se basa en la distribución de fondos del año fiscal 2025-26, los ingresos del programa y traspasos del año anterior. Sin embargo, todas las actividades propuestas de CDBG, HOME y ESG se incrementarán o disminuirán proporcionalmente con respecto a los niveles de financiación estimados para que coincidan con los montos de asignación final de HUD.
Bajo CDBG, HUD ofrece una herramienta especial para realizar actividades de revitalización enfocadas a través de las regulaciones del Área de Estrategia de Revitalización de Vecindarios (NRSA). Por lo general, el gasto de los fondos de CDBG debe cumplir con los requisitos estrictos de elegibilidad y mantenimiento de registros. A las comunidades con NRSA aprobadas se les ofrece mayor flexibilidad para emprender actividades de desarrollo económico, vivienda y servicio público con fondos CDBG dentro de las NRSA. Esta flexibilidad está diseñada para promover programas innovadores en áreas económicamente desfavorecidas de la comunidad. El ANRSA se actualizó por última vez en 2020. Como resultado, la Ciudad también propone actualizar su ANSRA simultáneamente con el Plan Consolidado del año fiscal 2025-29.

AUDIENCIA PÚBLICA
Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano de los Estados Unidos Plan Consolidado para el Año Fiscal 2025-29, Plan de Acción Anual para el Año Fiscal 2025-26 y Área de Estrategia de Revitalización de Vecindarios de Alisal
POR LA PRESENTE SE AVISA QUE el 16 de mayo de 2025, la Ciudad de Salinas (Ciudad) pondrá a disposición del público para para su revisión y comentarios el Plan Consolidado (Con Plan) del año Fiscal (FY) 2025-29 del Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano de los Estados Unidos (HUD), El Plan de Acción Anual (AAP) para el año fiscal 2025-26 y la Estrategia de Revitalización del Área del Vecindarios de Alisal (ANRSA).
El Con Plan para los años fiscales 2025-29 cubren el período del 1 de julio de 2025 al 30 de junio de 2029 e identifica las necesidades de vivienda y desarrollo comunitario en la ciudad, y establece un plan estratégico para abordar las necesidades identificadas en el contexto del desarrollo comunitario de HUD del Programa de Subvenciones para Bloques de Desarrollo Comunitario (CDBG), el Programa de Alianzas de Inversión en vivienda (HOME) y el Programa de Subvenciones de Soluciones de Emergencia (ESG). El Con Plan para los años fiscales 2025-29 también cumple con los requisitos legales mínimos para CDBG, HOME y ESG.
El Con Plan para los años fiscales 2025-29 sirve como la solicitud oficial a HUD para CDBG, HOME y ESG e incluye el primer año del AAP para FY 2025-26 que cubre el período del 1 de julio de 2025 al 30 de junio de 2026. El AAP para el año fiscal 2025-26 describe las actividades, proyectos, programas y montos de financiación propuestos que se implementarán con HUD CDBG, HOME y ESG. El AAP para el año fiscal 2025-26 también incluye estimaciones de las asignaciones de HUD por un monto de $2,000,000 (CDBG); $30,000 en Ingresos del Programa CDBG (PI); $700,000 en fondos HOME; $50,000 en HOME PI y $170,000 en fondos ESG. La financiación estimada se basa en la distribución de fondos del año fiscal 2025-26, los ingresos del programa y traspasos del año anterior. Sin embargo, todas las actividades propuestas de CDBG, HOME y ESG se incrementarán o disminuirán proporcionalmente con respecto a los niveles de financiación estimados para que coincidan con los montos de asignación final de HUD.
Bajo CDBG, HUD ofrece una herramienta especial para realizar actividades de revitalización enfocadas a través de las regulaciones del Área de Estrategia de Revitalización de Vecindarios (NRSA). Por lo general, el gasto de los fondos de CDBG debe cumplir con los requisitos estrictos de elegibilidad y mantenimiento de registros. A las comunidades con NRSA
aprobadas se les ofrece mayor flexibilidad para emprender actividades de desarrollo económico, vivienda y servicio público con fondos CDBG dentro de las NRSA. Esta flexibilidad está diseñada para promover programas innovadores en áreas
económicamente desfavorecidas de la comunidad. El ANRSA se actualizó por última vez en 2020. Como resultado, la Ciudad también propone actualizar su ANSRA simultáneamente con el Plan Consolidado del año fiscal 2025-29.

Consolidated Plan SALINAS C-1
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Appendix C – Monitoring
Community Development Compliance Summary
The City’s Community Development Department—specifically the Housing and Community Division—maintains accurate programmatic and financial records for all community development initiatives, including housing and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) activities. Public service activities funded by ESG and CDBG are continually monitored. All payment requests must include proper documentation, such as activity reports. Loan servicing for the City’s loan portfolio (e.g., payoffs, partial payments, subordinations, annual affidavits) is conducted in-house using the City Data Services (CDS) online system.
Staff collaborates closely with the Public Works (PW) Compliance Officer, who ensures adherence to federal labor standards (e.g., Davis-Bacon) on all CDBG-funded Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs). Compliance oversight spans from contract development through project close-out. In select cases, qualified subrecipients manage their own labor compliance through internal staff or external consultants. The PW Compliance Officer attends ongoing federal and state training sessions to stay informed on regulatory updates.
To enhance CDBG compliance for CIPs, the City continues to utilize a Memorandum of Record (MOR) in place of a traditional funding agreement. This formalizes inter-departmental roles and responsibilities and has significantly improved compliance outcomes. Recent enhancements to the MOR include requirements for timely report submissions and provisions ensuring compliance with 24 CFR Part 570.505 and §570.201(c), related to real property and public facility use.
A primary focus of monitoring is alignment with the City’s Consolidated Plan, Housing Element, and City Council Goals.
The information collected informs evaluations of goal achievement, regulatory compliance (e.g., the National Affordable Housing Act), and the need for policy or procedural updates.
Monitoring HUD Program Compliance
Each year, proposals submitted through the City's RFP process are evaluated against the Consolidated Plan priorities.
Funding recommendations and amendments to the Action Plan are assessed with a focus on timely fund commitment and expenditure. All funding agreements specify deadlines and require compliance with federal regulations and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines. Staff continues to monitor other departments receiving federal funds using the MOR system.
Housing Standards Compliance
Staff conducts post-construction site visits for assisted housing projects and evaluates recipients of deferred rehabilitation loans every five years for eligibility and upkeep. Desk monitoring helps determine the frequency of site visits. Many major projects include layered funding, which brings additional monitoring by external agencies.
The CDS system tracks all CDBG and HOME multi-family projects from award through annual reporting, supporting efficient data collection and compliance with rent/income restrictions. Staff works with CDS programmers to manage projects with complex regulatory layers (e.g., Inclusionary Housing, former SRA programs).
Reporting requirements for CDBG and HOME projects include Annual, Quarterly, or Monthly reporting via CDS.
Subrecipients must submit Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) and an annual narrative at fiscal year-end. First-Time Homebuyer (FTHB) participants are monitored to ensure continued use of properties as primary residences, insurance coverage, and tax compliance.
Staff is preparing to monitor deferred rehabilitation loans every five years as stipulated. CDS alerts staff when a loan is due for review.

Consolidated Plan SALINAS C-2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Public Services Monitoring
Staff prepares an annual monitoring plan and conducts regular reviews of reimbursement requests, activity reports, and expenditure rates. Risk Assessments and Desk Review Monitoring are conducted annually, and on-site visits are prioritized based on these findings. Monitoring tools include HUD checklists and the CPD Grantee Monitoring Handbook. Agencies are notified in advance and must provide documentation such as payroll, audits, and client files.
Follow-up letters outline results and, if needed, compliance remediation steps are discussed with agency leadership.
Public Facilities Reporting
Projects that have completed public facility improvements are required to submit annual data forms capturing service statistics, race/ethnicity data, and other HUD-mandated metrics. All active projects are managed through CDS, improving reporting consistency and accuracy. Data is reviewed monthly, quarterly, and annually for compliance.
Capital Improvement Project Compliance
Staff oversees CIP compliance across all phases—design, bidding, construction, and completion—to meet federal requirements including Davis-Bacon, Section 3, Build America Buy America Act, and others. Monitoring tools such as compliance checklists, progress reports, and communication logs are regularly updated. The City's standardized CDBG Bid Specification Package is also reviewed to ensure inclusion of current federal forms and provisions. These efforts have notably streamlined compliance processes and reduced staff time needed for monitoring.
Labor compliance in Capital Improvement Projects remains a top priority, as previously reported. The Public Works Labor Compliance Officer continues to deepen their understanding of federal labor compliance regulations and regularly attends both state and federal training sessions to stay current.
