Agenda packet — Mayor and City Council, October 4, 2023 (part 4 of 4)

Planning and Development Fees: Planning and development impact fees, such as for transportation, water, and sewer infrastructure improvements, often add to the overall cost of development. The City’s fees reflect the fair share of the costs of providing permitting, infrastructure, and services for new residences.

Infrastructure and Impact Fees: Impact fees are charged to housing developers to pay for City infrastructure that will support the project, or pay for parks or other City services that protect the welfare of residents. A primary financial deterrent for developers is the high cost of impact fees.

Construction costs, permitting fees, and impact fees are passed on to the consumer, driving up the cost of housing at all income levels.

State and Federal Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages: The state Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) expanded the kinds of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. Prevailing wage adds to the overall cost of development. A prevailing wage must also be paid to laborers when federal funds are used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multifamily project over eight units. Based on discussions with developers, various prevailing wage requirements typically inflate the development costs by 35 percent.

MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets – 91.215 (f) Introduction
The City of San Bernardino is located in the Inland Empire, which is part of a populous area west of Los Angeles in Southern California. Top employers in the City include California State University, San Bernardino, Caltrans, and the Community Hospital of San Bernardino. There are 57,889 jobs in the City with a labor force of approximately 88,000. The City has strong millennial growth with an average age of 32, younger than both the state (36) and the nation (37). Additionally, the County is the second-fastest growing county in the state, likely due to lower home prices and commercial vacancy rates, making the area ideal for investment.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction?
Education and health care services is the top employment sector with the highest percentage of local workers within the sector in San Bernardino, followed by retail trade, arts/entertainment/accommodations, transportation and warehousing, and manufacturing. The sectors with the highest percentage of jobs within the sector are education and healthcare services, retail, transportation and warehousing, and arts, entertainment and accommodations. Manufacturing has the

Packet Pg.
821

Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 89
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
most oversupply of labor (more workers than jobs). Education/health care services and finance/insurance/real estate both have the most undersupply of labor (more jobs than workers).

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

The City has a civilian labor force of 88,507. However, the unemployment rate is unusually high at 16.6 percent overall, and 9 percent for those in the 25-65 age cohort; the national rate is 3.7 percent and for comparably sized cities, 5.5 percent. Though education and health care services are the top business sector, the most occupations are in sales and office. As discussed above, there is a need for workers in the finance, insurance, and real estate sector. Additionally, because of the finding that there are more workers than jobs in manufacturing, it could be beneficial to incentivize manufacturing companies to locate in the City. The public outreach process for the 2020-2025 ConPlan also expressed the need for job training for residents.

Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.

The City of San Bernardino has developed the San Bernardino Downtown Vision & Action Plan, which includes the development of the 48.2-acre Carousel District. A goal of the plan is to capitalize on the Carousel District’s ability to attract visitors to its arts and entertainment amenities by further developing the area. Projects being considered for this mixed-use development include residential market-rate housing and retail redevelopment with future phases of office, educational, and/or additional housing.

In addition to development, the InTech Center in Fontana is part of an initiative designed to provide hands-on training that manufacturing employers are looking for. Manufacturing sectors are growing in the County and include advanced manufacturing, food, plastics, and metal manufacturing. The center provides individual certificate programs as well as comprehensive career skill development, such as in industrial maintenance, pre-engineering, robotics, and IT.

Tens of thousands of new residential units are anticipated. As such, the County also has resources in place to attract retail by assisting investors with site selection, business planning, obtaining permits to operate retail, workforce assistance, and demographic and market reports.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
As discussed above, there is a need for workers in the finance, insurance and real estate sector, possibly indicating a need for related job training and educational opportunities. Additionally, because of the finding that there are more workers than jobs in manufacturing, it could be beneficial to incentivize

manufacturing companies to locate in the City. As mentioned above, job training is a need in the community.

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.

The San Bernardino Community and Economic Development Department will continue consulting with County Workforce Development, County Department of Behavioral Health, and County Office on Aging and Adult Services, all of which are involved in the delivery of housing, supportive services and economic development to low- and moderate-income San Bernardino residents. Workforce Development provides job placement services for persons in the County and paid on-the-job training and any equipment that an employee may require to carry their new job. In the realm of economic development, the City recently established a partnership with the Mexican Consulate’s Emprendedores program. The program partners with the Small Business Administration and the City’s Micro Enterprise program to provide Spanish language training for persons interested in launching a small business or expanding an existing small business. Through the City’s partnership with the Emprendedores program, the City will cross promote the services available through Workforce Development.

Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)?
No
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth.

The City does not have a comprehensive economic development strategy.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
As discussed below, there are racial and ethnic concentrations and LMI concentrations within the City.

The definition of “concentration” is provided below.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") A minority concentration is defined as census tracts where the percentage of individuals of racial or ethnic minority groups is at least 20 percent higher than the City average. An LMI concentration is defined as a census tract in which the median household income is less than or equal to 80 percent of the statewide median family income, in which the median family income is less than or equal to 80 percent of the metropolitan area’s median family income, or in which the federal poverty rate is 20 percent or greater.

As discussed in NA-30, five census tracts have a Hispanic minority concentration.

A majority of the City is considered an LMI area (see attached LMI Concentration Map).

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? According to the ACS 2014-2018 5-Year Estimates, the median household income for the City is $43,136, which is less than the County’s median household income of $60,164.

As of January 24, 2020, there are approximately 185 houses in various states of foreclosure throughout the City. Housing units in foreclosure generally overlap with LMI neighborhoods displayed in the attached Map.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? The County operates an Employment Resource Center in downtown San Bernardino near City Hall in an LMI neighborhood. California State University, San Bernardino is also located in an LMI neighborhood.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The City has several economic advantages, including modern industrial buildings, convenient freeway access, and generally lower labor costs.

Additionally, the City continues to encourage economic development and will continue to fund nonprofits that develop the capacity of residents through job and small business development training.

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 California Interactive Broadband Map, most of the City is served by fixed-service broadband. Most unserved areas are nonresidential; however, approximately 150 mobile homes are unserved in the City. Stakeholders also identified a need for internet access among homeless individuals and housing program participants.

Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.

Charter Communications (Spectrum) and Frontier Communications are the primary fixed-service internet service providers (ISPs) operating within the City. Charter and Frontier generally cover the entire City, save for the unserved pockets discussed above. Frontier provides DSL and fiber internet, whereas Charter provides broadband with small pockets of fiber service.

The table attached with this section displays the monthly price of internet (excluding equipment rental fees) by ISP as of January 24, 2020.

For households that are recipients of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), the Community Eligibility Provision of the NSLP, or Supplemental Security Income (SSI; 65 years and older), Charter offers broadband internet access (up to 30Mbps) for $14.99 per month with no equipment rental fees.

Frontier also provides low-cost internet access (1.61Mbps to 12Mbps) for $19.99 per month for recipients of CalFresh, SSI, Medi-Cal, and Bureau of Indian Affairs programs. This offer also comes with a Chromebook provided by funding from the California Emerging Technology Fund.

LMI households who are participants of these programs would be able to access the internet at a low cost. LMI households who are not participants of these specific programs or cannot afford the reduced price would be unable to access the internet.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

Climate change is a phenomenon where greenhouse gases (GHGs) produced by natural and man-made sources trap heat in the atmosphere, causing an increase in the global average air and ocean temperatures and the melting of snow and ice, which consequently causes sea level rise.

Depending on the level of emissions, by 2099, the average temperature of San Bernardino County is projected to rise between 3.8 and 6.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Increased temperatures could manifest as heat waves, which would lead to increased incidents of heat stress and heat stroke and exacerbate existing health conditions. Furthermore, the lack of moisture in the air, when compounded by long-term drought, may also increase the risk of wildfires, resulting in more deaths, destroyed property, and increased air pollution.

Climate change may also cause increased occurrences of extreme weather events, such as storms and flooding. This would increase fatal and nonfatal injuries, ruin housing, and may result in permanent displacement.

Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.

LMI households and those with special needs without the means to evacuate would be more vulnerable during natural disasters caused by climate change. It would be difficult for households to acquire transportation and housing accommodations during an emergency. Additionally, housing destroyed by natural disasters would be difficult to replace in the already constrained housing market.

Furthermore, households without adequate air conditioning systems would also be at increased risk of heat stress and heat stroke.

Stakeholders identified homeless individuals as having the greatest risk from emergencies and natural disasters. Extreme heat events require cooling centers; however, resources may not be available to accommodate all homeless persons. Additionally, it was identified that households at risk of fire hazard may not have the resources to find replacement housing, and resources may not be available to provide emergency shelter.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
This overview summarizes the key points of each section of the market analysis and sets a basis for some of the funding priorities listed in the Strategic Plan. The Market Analysis identifies the City’s housing market, which includes the housing stock, the cost of housing in the City, housing needs for low- income and special needs populations, and barriers to the development of new housing, especially affordable housing.

As with many suburban cities, the City of San Bernardino is made up mostly of one-unit detached structures. Multiunit structures make up the second highest portion of housing stock. Multifamily units have increased more rapidly than single-family development, but only by approximately two percentage points. The cost of home purchase is more affordable in the City of San Bernardino compared to other cities in California. However, like the rest of the state, San Bernardino has followed the same trend of steadily increasing costs for both homeownership and renting. Housing stock is aging; nearly 70 percent of residential units were built prior to 1980.

There are many housing resources in the City and County for low-income, special needs, and homeless households. The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) is the largest provider of affordable housing in the County. The HACSB owns and/or manages more than 10,000 housing units and serves approximately 30,000 individuals throughout the County. For special needs, in the City of San Bernardino alone, there are 39 adult residential facilities providing capacity to accommodate 835 persons; there are 24 residential elder care facilities in the City that accommodate 505 persons. Finally, the City utilizes the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program to support services that include emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, street outreach, and HMIS costs.

There continue to be barriers to the provision of affordable housing. But through many initiatives and supportive services funded by local and federal resources, efforts are continuously being made to increase affordable housing units, provide supportive services and job training, and offer other tools to build the workforce for a strong community.

General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA)
The City will use most of its federal funding to finance projects targeted to low- to moderate-income households throughout the City, including those in special needs categories. Based on 2011-2015 CHAS data, 59 percent of households in the City are low- to moderate-income households. Because more than half of residents would qualify for CDBG assistance and there are no concentrated areas of poverty, the City is taking the approach of allocating CDBG funds across the whole City.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City will leverage its federal resources with state and private capital in order to develop quality affordable housing for San Bernardino residents. Additional funds to serve the needs of lower- and moderate-income residents were derived from a variety of other sources, including:

Federal Resources. Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, Tax Exempt Bond Financing, Community Investment Funds from Dignity Health
State Resources. Tax Exempt bonds, State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, No Place Like Home, Community Reinvestments Funds, Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) from California State Department of Housing, Veteran Housing and Homeless Prevention Program. In 2017, the governor signed the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2), which established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase the supply of affordable housing in California. Funding is used to help cities and counties accelerate housing production, streamline approval of housing development, facilitate housing affordability, promote development, and ensure geographic equity in the distribution of funds. The City submitted a grant application under SB 2 to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for the sum of $625,000.

Local Resources. San Bernardino County Continuum of Care, Housing Authority of San Bernardino County (HACSB) Private Resources. Dignity Health, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, San Bernardino Unified School District, City of San Bernardino Successor Housing Agency
HOME Match. HUD requires HOME recipients to match 25 percent of their HOME annual allocation. In FY 2019-2020, the City received a 100 percent match reduction due to severe fiscal distress. It is anticipated that in 2020-2021 the City will also receive a 100 percent match reduction.

If a reduction is not granted, the City of San Bernardino will continue to leverage its HOME funds with other housing resources. Any funds that are used in a HOME activity in excess of the required match will be documented by the City and reported to HUD as part of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report each year.

ESG Match. HUD requires ESG recipients to match 100 percent of their ESG annual allocation. For those organizations that received ESG funds, agencies met the match requirement through utilization of volunteerism, in-kind contributions and funds from other local, state and federal programs. In addition, qualified City staff will provide in-kind services for necessary program oversight, review project work receipts, and

Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 109

administer other matching funds from state and federal programs, such as CDBG. Staff timecards will be used to document all in-kind service hours.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
According to the City’s 2013-2021 Housing Element update, the City of San Bernardino has enough vacant land and land designated for residential use to satisfy all projected housing needs. Additionally, the City has not identified any constraints on these sites that would prevent development or reuse. The City estimates that 12,918 housing units could be accommodated on this land.

Additionally, the governor of California continues to explore the use of state and federal surplus property to provide housing for homeless individuals
Discussion
The City has enough available land and residential designations to meet the affordable housing needs of the community. HUD allocations are critical to meeting these needs; however, they are not sufficient to address all the needs of LMI households. Therefore, the City will continue to continue to leverage other funding sources to provide services to populations in need.

Table 51 - Institutional Delivery Structure
Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The City has invested significantly in its CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs, specifically for consulting, auditing, and program design; however, it remains financially constrained. The City continues to improve its capacity and effectiveness in using federal funding.

Additionally, the City of San Bernardino participates in the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP) through the Central Valley Steering Committee on the Interagency Council on Homelessness, which directs the SBCHP. The SBCHP coordinates homeless services and housing throughout the County.

The partnership understands that homelessness is a massive issue which takes an enormous amount of planning and resources to address. Given this, the SBCHP continually tries to address gaps in its institutional structure and bolster its strengths. A gap analysis is performed annually to determine gaps in the service and structure of the partnership.

The primary gap identified is a lack of funding to house or shelter all homeless individuals in the County.

As identified in NA-40, there are approximately 2,600 homeless individuals living in San Bernardino County.

Table 52 - 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) Besides CDBG funding, ESG funding is also used to combat homelessness within the City. The City coordinates with emergency shelters and funds nonprofit agencies that operate emergency shelters and transitional housing. These shelters offer basic needs and drop-in services. Transitional housing provides assistance in helping homeless individuals become more stable and continue independent living.

Additionally, the SBCHP coordinates homeless services and housing throughout the County, including for the City of San Bernardino. The partnership has created an initiative to house veteran families, which has resulted in 1,260 veteran families being housed between 2015 and 2020. The SBCHP also has created initiatives to house the elderly and chronically homeless population.

Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 112
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Furthermore, the organization has partnered with the Inland Empire Health Plan to provide health care services to homeless individuals throughout the County.

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
Numerous resources are available for homeless individuals living with HIV/AIDS in the County, including service providers which provide permanent supportive housing. Additionally, the Inland Empire Health Plan serves anyone who is chronically homeless, which is defined as an individual who is homeless for more than a year or homeless four or more times in three years and has a disabling health condition, which includes HIV/AIDS.

The SBCHP identifies a significant gap of resources for elderly persons and persons with disabilities. On average, elderly persons and persons with disabilities receive approximately $1,000 per month in social security income (SSI). However, the HUD fair market rent for the County is $986 for a one-bedroom unit.

This leaves individuals receiving SSI without the means to afford housing, potentially leaving some homeless.

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 Currently, the SBCHP works with 62 homeless service providers and all cities within the County. Steering committees, comprising service providers and representatives from some of these cities, including the City of San Bernardino, contribute to the partnership’s decision-making process. The partnership encourages continued participation to overcome gaps in institutional structure. Additionally, the SBCHP performs an annual gap analysis to determine areas in which the partnership can improve.

The partnership is continually finding ways to fill gaps in services, including through partnerships with nonprofits, businesses, and municipalities as well as through new approaches to problem solving. This includes motel, hotel, shared, and bridge housing as well as employment training.

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)
Households in California with at least one member living with a disability have a median household income of $56,600, approximately $26,000 less than the median household income of all households at $82,000. Consequently, the need for accessible affordable units would be high for this population.

As discussed in NA-35, the average annual income of all vouchers holders is approximately $14,084, which indicates these voucher holders have limited income to cover basic transportation, medical, food, and personal needs. As indicated in NA-35, 5,277 voucher holders (37 percent) have requested some type of accessible feature, demonstrating a need. Given the number of persons with disabilities across the County, the need for accessible units would be great.

Activities to Increase Resident Involvements
The City does not own public housing units. HACSB Board of Commissioners has regular meetings twice per month that call for public comment on agenda items. The HACSB also operates a Family Self Sufficiency Program designed so that residents can be involved in the development of self-sufficiency goals, job training, and other services. The City provides several programs that public housing residents can participate including the First Time Homebuyers Program which funds homebuyers with an income range between 50% and 80% AMI. The City's Infill Program also caters to eligible LMI families wanting to purchase a home. The City works with HACSB to provide homeownership opportunities as they are available.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City recognizes that barriers to affordable housing exist and continues to employ strategies to overcome them. Policies can create barriers to the production of affordable housing and residential investment because such factors increase costs.

The high cost of affordable housing and residential investment can be contributed to the following:

Lack of Affordable Housing Funds: Funding for affordable housing usually comes from the government at the local, state, or federal levels or from nonprofit organizations specializing in the construction of affordable housing. Before 2012, redevelopment had the ability to borrow against future property tax revenue in order to finance capital projects and address blight; 20 percent of redevelopment money was required to be allocated toward affordable housing. Due to state budgetary problems, redevelopment agencies were dissolved. Now the City relies on private resources, federal grant programs, state resources, and philanthropy to fund affordable housing projects.

Environmental Review: Environmental review can be a long process and is expensive if extensive environmental review is required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act. Additionally, if a developer is applying to rezone an area or parcel, an amendment to the General Plan or Zoning Ordinance is required, which is a project under CEQA. Such an amendment requires environmental review, which can become a long and even political process that can slow or even stop the development of projects.

Site Improvements: Many parts of the City of San Bernardino are undeveloped and lack adequate pedestrian and automobile infrastructure to support new residential subdivisions. All new residential development is required to provide sidewalk with curbs and gutters and must be served by appropriate roadways consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element and adopted road development standards. The cost of these improvements increases the cost of development but is necessary to facilitate pedestrian and vehicular access and movement in the City.

Construction costs, permitting fees, and impact fees are passed on to the consumer, driving up the cost of housing at all income levels.

Packet Pg.
851

Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 119
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
State and Federal Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages: The state Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) expanded the kinds of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. Prevailing wage adds to the overall cost of development. A prevailing wage must also be paid to laborers when federal funds are used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multifamily project over eight units. Based on discussions with developers, various prevailing wage requirements typically inflate the development costs by 35 percent.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing The City continues to make the development process more efficient for developers through amendments to the Development Code. The City plans to make the following updates to its development code:
•General Lot Consolidation Incentive – This incentive would increase development potential by allowing a 15 percent density bonus for projects with a residential component, maintenance plan, and on-site management.
•Density Bonus Provisions – The City plans to update the Development Code to reflect the latest amendments to state density bonus law.
•Transitional and Supportive Housing – The City plans to update the Development Code to adequately define transitional and permanent supportive housing to eliminate confusion and facilitate the review and approval process for this housing type. •Streamlined Processing – The City plans to analyze potential programs that seek to eliminate land use constraints related to the development of new housing and rehabilitation of existing housing. Additionally, the City has applied for an SB 2 planning grant to assist with streamlining.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of San Bernardino provides ESG funding to Step Up on Second (Step Up), which provides essential service referrals and housing placement services to homeless persons and near-homeless persons. Step Up also provides daily mobile outreach to the most service-resistant homeless population in the City.

Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City funds nonprofits that operate emergency shelters and transitional housing for homeless individuals. Emergency shelters provide shelter, nutrition, supportive services, counseling, medical treatment, transportation assistance, referrals to mental health and social service agencies, and housing assistance. Transitional housing programs provide shelter and services such as job training, financial literacy training, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and counseling to help individuals reestablish independent living.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

The City will provide ESG funding for supportive services to assist homeless individuals, including funding for emergency shelters, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and street outreach. The City will also fund nonprofit agencies that operate emergency shelters and provide services to help homeless individuals stabilize and live independently. The City will continue to fund nonprofits that help homeless individuals transition to permanent housing.

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
As discussed above, the City funds a number of nonprofits that provide homeless prevention services to those at risk of homelessness. Additionally, the Coordinated Entry System (CES) is used to quickly identify, assess, refer, and connect clients to housing assistance and services in the event they are

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The City follows all applicable lead-based paint hazard (LBP) regulations, which primarily affect projects funded by the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program. All applicants are notified about LBP risk and, if they are low-income and have a child under six at home, are then referred to the County’s LBP Abatement Program for free paint inspections, lead testing for children, information about LBP, and abatement. In general, housing built after 1977, zero-bedroom units, and housing for the elderly or disabled persons (unless children are present) are exempt from this rule.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? Units built prior to 1980 may contain LBP, to which children under the age of six years are especially vulnerable. As discussed in MA-20, approximately 31,000 housing units were built prior to 1980, of which approximately 6,500 are occupied by children under six years of age.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The City, as part of its Housing Rehabilitation Program, requires that all LBP be controlled or abated and disposed of properly to eliminate or reduce the hazard of environmental or human contamination.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City annually allocates federal funds for economic development activities, which includes microloan programs and Section 108 loan repayment. HUD’s Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program provides CDBG recipients with financing for economic development activities. The goal of the program is to provide the public investment needed to catalyze private economic activity in underserved areas. The City utilizes Section 108 financing to acquire properties for the development of commercial centers and in the process creates jobs for City residents.

Additionally, the City uses its CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds to reduce the number of poverty-level families through the provision of supportive services and housing assistance. Specifically, at least 70 percent of CDBG dollars must be used to benefit low- to moderate-income families.

How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
The City allocated up to 15 percent of its CDBG funds annually to public and nonprofit service providers to offer a range of supportive services, including those that fight poverty. Additionally, the City is using its funds to support other activities that address poverty, such as housing rehabilitation, homeownership programs, rental assistance, and economic development.

SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City undertakes monitoring: program monitoring for ESG, CDBG and HOME.

ESG. The City is required to monitor Sub-Recipients for compliance with ESG regulations. As per Federal regulations, 24 CFR Part 576 of HUD’s Monitoring Guidance for the ESG Program, the City has developed comprehensive monitoring process. As part of the monthly claim reimbursement process, a desk audit will be conducted on each claim prior to approval for payment. Additional information or documentation may be requested, at the time of desk audit. A recipient will be notified 30 days in advance of the monitoring visit and interview and provided with a monitoring checklist, tools and resources. After the monitoring visit, the City will provide Sub-Recipient with a written monitoring report inclusive of any findings, concerns or comments. If required, the sub-recipient must provide timely corrective action to findings and failure to do so may result in the withholding and/or return of ESG funds to the City or other possible remedies as described in the Sub-Recipient Agreement signed by Sub-Recipient and the City (See attached Sub-Recipient monitoring checklist).

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City will use its funding for PY 2020-2021 to finance a variety of housing, community development, economic development, and capital improvement projects. The majority of the funding will be used to finance projects targeting low- to moderate-income individuals and families throughout the City.

CDBG Benefit Service Areas are defined as geographic locations within the City of San Bernardino where 51 percent or more of the households in those areas are low- to moderate-income. The 2010 U.S.

Census identified approximately 68.9 percent of the City consisted of households with low or moderate incomes. A map of the Low / Moderate Income Target Areas is attached to this document.

The City of San Bernardino has become increasingly diverse in its racial and ethnic makeup. Over the past decades the City has seen a shift from a non-Hispanic, White majority to a Hispanic Origin majority.

According to the U.S. 2010 Census, approximately 60 percent of the population is of Hispanic Origin, 19 percent is Non-Hispanic, White, 14.2 percent is Black, 3.8 percent is Asian and 2.9 percent is comprised of some “Other” race or ethnicity.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The funding available under the 2020-2021 Action Plan may be used to meet a variety of community development and housing needs. As part of the development of the 2020-2021 Action Plan, the City established priority needs based on an in depth analysis of the several factors housing, homelessness, poverty, special needs, lead hazards, institutional structure, etc. The City will utilize its federal funding to pursue goals and objectives listed in the section “AP-20 Annual Goals and Objectives” of this document.

The City’s primary intent is to spend its CDBG funds in predominantly low income neighborhoods where residents have the greatest need for housing/services. The City will focus on low to moderate income neighborhoods where there is a greatest need in the parks, such as having the playground equipment replaced, because those are the areas of greatest need.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Public housing and other assisted housing programs are crucial elements of the City’s efforts to address affordable housing needs of low- and moderate-income families, senior citizens, disabled individuals, and other individuals.

The City falls within the jurisdiction of the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB).

This agency administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides rental assistance to eligible residents of San Bernardino by providing monthly rental assistance to participants who want to rent from a private landlord, but cannot afford the full monthly rental payment. The Housing Choice Voucher program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

In 2019, the latest year for which data is available, HACSB provided 10,798 housing choice vouchers throughout San Bernardino County, assisting 25,331 individuals. Of those 10,798 housing choice vouchers, 2,694 were issued to San Bernardino City residents.

The City will continue to support the efforts of HACSB in the administration of the Housing Choice Voucher and maximize the use of those funds and other resources in San Bernardino.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing To assist HACSB in addressing public housing needs, the City will do the following:

Monitor At-Risk Units. The City will maintain contact with the owners of at-risk units, encourage the owner to keep the at-risk units affordable and utilize, if feasible, local incentives to preserve any at-risk units
Support and Assist Local Non-Profit Organizations. In order to develop or preserve the City's affordable stock, the City will provide technical and/or financial assistance to local non-profit organizations that provide affordable housing.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The City does not own any public housing units, therefore has not undertaken efforts to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in the management of public housing units. However, the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) does undertake actions to encourage public housing residents to contribute and participate in the management and HACSB has a homeownership program for residents of public housing.

As for homeownership opportunities, the City has initiated an Infill Housing Program that will acquire

Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 147
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
distressed properties within San Bernardino, rehabilitate them and sell them to income qualified homebuyers. The City will work with HACSB, to identify any households who may be eligible for the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino has not been designated as troubled. Actually it has a moving to work designation which is a designation that a limited number of PHAs across the country have.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
According to the San Bernardino County 2019 Homeless PIT Count there were 883 homeless persons in the City. A total of 244 individuals were sheltered and 639 were unsheltered. To address this issue, the City will allocate approximately $295,799 in ESG funds to homeless service providers who are skilled at transitioning homeless individuals and families from homelessness to permanent housing through a variety of activities including street outreach, homeless prevention, rapid re-housing, emergency shelter and essential services.

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 is an active member of the San Bernardino CoC and fully supports the goals and objectives of the San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness. To reach out to homeless persons and assess their individual needs, the City will continue to support the CoC’s coordinated entry system, 2-1-1 San Bernardino County. The Coordinated Entry System will provide people who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless (HUD Homeless definition (Category 2) with problem solving support to retain current housing or to locate get housing placement.

The City is continuing its contract in FY 2020-2021 with Step Up On Second, with the goal of reaching 78 homeless persons through street outreach, providing social service referrals to 49 of those 78 persons and facilitating the placement of 13 homeless persons into permanent housing.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City will continue to fund Lutheran Social Services Southern California (LSSC) to provide an emergency men’s shelter. LSSSC has submitted plans to the City for a preliminary review of a new men’s shelter with a 75-bed capacity.

community in the region. As the largest community in the County, the City also serves as a hub for service providers. The City supports the efforts of the network of agencies working to end homelessness through the Regional Continuum of Care Strategy. The Continuum of Care Strategy involves four key components, one of which is homeless prevention. The provision of preventative services will decrease the number of households and individuals who will become homeless and require emergency shelters and assistance. The City is working to prevent persons from becoming homeless by funding emergency rental assistance for households at-risk of homelessness.

Utilizing its HOME dollars, the City funded the acquisition of the Golden Apartments a 21-unit apartment complex that has been rehabilitated and converted into 38 one-bedroom apartments of supportive housing for homeless persons. Residents moved into their new one-bedroom flats in December 2019.

Golden has onsite health and mental health services available through the Department of Behavioral Health and Molina Health.

The City has partnered with Step Up on Second to provide street outreach services to homeless persons and assist them with obtaining their vital documents, housing navigation, transportation to appointments and placement in permanent housing. To date, in FY 2019-2020, Step Up has housed 13 individuals and provided linkage to services to 78 persons.

San Bernardino County’s 10-Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness was recalibrated in 2013 to focus on a rapid re-housing approach that is also consistent with a Housing First Model. This approach is intended to minimize the amount a time an individual or family remains homeless or in shelters. The Housing First Model also focuses on homeless prevention by emphasizing the need to keep individuals and families in their current housing if appropriate.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The City will continue to support the regional CoC’s efforts to implement the San Bernardino County 10- Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness. This plan includes a recommendation to focus on discharge planning in order to prevent people from becoming homeless when they are discharged from correctional, foster care, health care, or mental health care systems. The McKinney-Vento Act requires that State and local governments have policies and protocols in place to ensure that persons being discharged from a publicly-funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. In order to meet HUD’s requirements, the 10-Year Strategy has established a Discharge Planning Committee to focus on improving coordination between discharge planning agencies, local government, and homeless service providers in order to implement a “zero tolerance” plan that will prevent persons being discharged into homelessness.

Discussion
In 2018, the City declared a shelter crisis which allowed agencies to apply for the State’s Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) funding. Four agencies serving homeless persons in the City of San Bernardino received $2.1 million in HEAP funds that can be used over four years. The CoC’s coordinated entry system provides a single point of entry for people who are homeless to be screened and assessed for a range of CoC and City funded homeless programs, including emergency shelters, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and rapid rehousing services. All contracted service providers report outcomes based on the countywide outcome standards developed by the County Office of Homeless Services, in order to inform future adjustments to the service system.

In FY 18-19, the City facilitated the purchase of two (2) multi-family properties by Foothill Aides Project.

In FY 19-20 those properties will be rehabilitated and leased to low-income persons with HIV/Aids.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

The City recognizes that barriers to affordable housing exist and continues to employ strategies to overcome them. Policies can create barriers to the production of affordable housing and residential investment because such factors increase costs. The high cost of affordable housing and residential investment can be contributed to the following:
•Lack of Affordable Housing Funds: The availability of funding for affordable housing has been severely affected by the dissolution of redevelopment agencies. Prior to 2012, redevelopment activities and funding was the City’s primary tool for assisting with neighborhood revitalization efforts and production of affordable housing. The loss of this funding represents a constraint for the City of San Bernardino’s efforts to continue to support neighborhood revitalization. Now the City relies on private resources, federal grant programs, state resources, and philanthropy to fund affordable housing projects.
•Environmental Protection: State law (California Environmental Quality Act and California Endangered Species Act) and federal law (National Environmental Policy Act and Federal Endangered Species Act) regulations require environmental review of proposed discretionary projects (e.g., subdivision maps, use permits, etc.). Costs and time delay resulting from the environmental review process are also added to the cost of housing. •Site Improvements: Many parts of San Bernardino are undeveloped and lack adequate pedestrian and automobile infrastructure to support new residential subdivisions. All new residential development is required to provide sidewalk with curbs and gutters and must be served by appropriate roadways consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element and adopted road development standards. The cost of these improvements increases the cost of development, but is necessary to facilitate pedestrian and vehicular access and movement in the City.
•Planning and Development Fees: Planning and development impact fees, such as for transportation, water, and sewer infrastructure improvements, often add to the overall cost of development. The City’s fees reflect the fair share of the costs of providing permitting, infrastructure, and services for new residences.
•Permit and Processing Procedures: Builders and developers frequently cite the cost of holding land during the evaluation and review process as a significant factor in the cost of housing. The City of San Bernardino’s development review process is designed to accommodate growth without compromising quality. Project quality is of critical concern, as the City faces challenges in securing foreclosed single-family homes and poorly maintained multifamily complexes. •State and Federal Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages: The State Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) expanded the kinds of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. Prevailing wage adds to the overall cost of development. A prevailing wage must also be paid to laborers when federal funds are used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multi-

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
family project over eight units. Based on discussions with developers, various prevailing wage requirements typically inflate the development costs by 35 percent.

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 undertook a major effort to eliminate constraints, with respect to land use regulations, by developing and adopting a new Development Code that unified and simplified the City’s development regulations and processes. That effort was followed by a reorganization of the City to unify the various development-related departments into a single Community Development Department and a one-stop permit counter. The City has made the following additional amendments to the Municipal Code in order to further reduce barriers to affordable housing:

1.General Lot Consolidation Incentive - Small, individual lots offer limited development potential, and generally cannot support onsite property management. Development opportunities could be increased through a small-lot consolidation program that offers a 15 percent density bonus for projects with a residential component that are committing to a maintenance plan and having on-site management. The City is anticipating amending the Development Code to incentivize lot Consolidation.

2.Density Bonus Provisions - Density bonus projects can be an important source of housing for lower and moderate income households. The City anticipates amending the Development Code to reflect the latest amendments to State density bonus law.

3.Transitional and Supportive Housing - The City plans to amend the Development Code to adequately define transitional and permanent supportive housing and permit these uses based on unit type, in accordance with Senate Bill 2.

4.Streamlined Processing - The City is committed to continuing the streamlining of development activities and regulations and will continue to analyze potential programs that seek to eliminate land use constraints, particularly as related to the provision of new housing and rehabilitation of existing housing. The City amended its Development Code in 2012 to make it more user-friendly and to minimize confusion for staff and the development community. As part of the Development Code update, the City also introduced a new streamlined type of Conditional Use Permit: the Minor Use Permit (MUP). The MUP is reviewed by the Development/Environmental Review Committee rather than the Planning Commission, which requires less staff time (and a relatively shorter process for developers), lower fees, and can be used in lieu of a CUP for certain qualified projects.

5.The City will update its General Plan.

To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the

Packet Pg.

Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 153
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Consolidated Plan calls for the investment of CDBG and/or HOME funds to preserve and rehabilitate housing units and provide homeownership opportunities to low and moderate-income households.

For PY 2020-2021, the City will continue to fund its Infill Housing Program and its Owner Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program (OORP). The OORP will be funded with carryover funds from last year that were not fully expended. Through the City’s Infill Housing Program, the City will acquire, rehabilitate vacant and/or underutilized parcels of land and create housing affordable to low- and moderate-income households. The Owner Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program will provide deferred loans for the rehabilitation of single family units owned by low and moderate income households.

Although the City no longer has access to redevelopment funds, the City will continue to leverage its CDBG and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources, including land conveyed to the City for the purpose of creating affordable housing for low- and moderate- income households.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs To address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, the City will allocate CDBG, uncommitted HOME and ESG funds through the Action plan in projects that provide financing for the affordable housing development, housing rehabilitation, job creation, public facility/infrastructure improvements and homeless prevention. Lack of resources is the primary obstacle to meeting underserved needs. In order to leverage additional ongoing resources for housing and homeless services, the City is applying for the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds which are administered by the State Department of Housing and Community Development to It anticipated that in the 2021 the City can receive up to $1.6 million in PLHA funds.

The City will also support HACSB’s efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding, especially for seniors and lower-income households.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing

Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 155
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The City will invest HOME funds to expand the supply of affordable housing and will use HOME funds to preserve and maintain existing affordable housing through the City of San Bernardino’s Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
To reduce lead-based paint hazards and in accordance, housing constructed prior to 1978 and assisted through the City of San Bernardino’s Owner Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program will be tested for lead based paint hazards. If lead based-paint hazards are found, safe work practices or abatement procedures will be included in the scope of work for the rehabilitation of the housing unit. All procedures will be in compliance with 24 CFR Part 35.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families For PY 2020-2021, the City will support:
•An Infill Housing Program that will acquire and rehabilitate/construct underutilized properties within the City and when complete sell these homes to low- and moderate income households •Micro Enterprise Program that will provide small business development training and support to income qualified clients who are wish to start their own small business. •Service providers who can provide street outreach, rapid-rehousing, homeless prevention, emergency shelter, and other essential services to homeless and near-homeless persons and families.
•The improvement of various park facilities within income-eligible areas of the City that provide recreational and support services to low- and moderate-income residents of the City. •The efforts of HACSB, who provides rental assisance and conventional housing to low-income households.
•The efforts of the CoC, San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Administration, Office of Homeless Services and various Homeless Service Agencies to provider public and social services to residents living in poverty, including health services, counseling, educational programs, food distribution, academic and vocational training, youth services, and senior services. •The goals and objectives of San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness. •The CoC’s coordinated entry system, 2-1-1 San Bernardino County that provides persons who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless with problem solving support to retain current housing or to locate another housing placement.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
During the next year, the San Bernardino Community & Economic Development Department will continue consulting with and inviting a wide variety of agencies and organizations (i.e. CoC, HACSB, National CORE, County of San Bernardino Community Development and Housing Agency, etc.) involved with the delivery of housing and social services to low- and moderate-income San Bernardino residents.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
This will allow to coordinate the City's activities by not duplicating efforts and to know what other agencies are doing. Currently, the City is working with the Center for Community Investment and Dignity Health (Accelerating investments for Healthy Communities). The City's collaboration with CCI and Dignity Health has resulted in the investment of $1.2 million in permanently affordable rental housing in the City. These types of collaborations build the capacity for the City to continue providing affordable housing.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
During the next year, the San Bernardino Community & Economic Development Department will continue consulting with a wide variety of agencies and organizations such as HACSB, County Workforce Development, County Department of Behavioral Health and County Office on Aging and Adult Services involved with the delivery of housing, supportive services and economic development to low- and moderate- income San Bernardino residents. Workforce Development, for example, provides job placement services for person in the County and also provides up to three months of paid on the job training and any equipment that an employee may require to carry their new job. In the realm of economic development, the City recently established a partnership with the Mexican Consulate’s “Emprendedoras” program. The program partners with the Small Business Administration and the City’s Micro Enterprise program to provide Spanish language training for persons interested in launching a small business or expanding an existing small business. Through the City’s partnership with the “Emprendedoras” program, the City will cross promote the services available through Workforce Development.

Discussion:

The implementation of the PY 2020-2021 Action Plan will invest federal resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, inspection of HOME units, reduce the number of families living in poverty, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

92.205.

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:

HOME Recapture Provision If Buyer at any time during the Period of Affordability sells or transfers the Eligible Property, whether voluntarily or involuntarily due to foreclosure or other circumstance, the following provisions shall apply, pursuant to 24 C.F.R. Part 92.254:

1. If Buyer sells or transfers the Eligible Property within the first two years of the Period of Affordability, City shall recover from the Net Proceeds, if any, the entire amount of the HOME Subsidy, or such lesser amount as the Net Proceeds may permit to be recovered. The Net Proceeds are the sales price paid to Buyer minus repayment of loans that are superior in priority to this Affordable Housing Covenant and the Deed of Trust securing it, and any closing costs.

2. If Buyer sells or transfers the Eligible Property after occupying the Eligible Property for at least two years (24 months from the Delivery Date), City’s recovery from the Net Proceeds shall equal the amount of the HOME Subsidy, reduced by a percentage determined by dividing the number of Buyer’s full years of occupation of the Eligible Property by the number of years of the Period of Affordability, and multiplying the result by 100. In calculating recapture of the HOME subsidy only full 12-month periods of occupancy will be utilized in the calculation. For example, if Buyer sells or transfers the Eligible Property during the third year, before the completion of the full third year of a ten-year Period of Affordability, the percentage reduction of the amount of the HOME Subsidy to be recovered by City shall equal 20 percent: (2 years ÷ 10 years) × 100 = 20.

Assuming sufficient Net Proceeds, City would recover 80 percent of the HOME Subsidy. If there were not sufficient Net Proceeds, City would recover 80 percent of Net Proceeds, whatever the amount.

3. In no event shall City’s recovery exceed the amount of the Net Proceeds.

The City requires that its CHDO/subrecipients, who carry out HOME funded ownership programs, utilize the noted recapture provisions, which are part of the affordability covenant executed by the homeowner and recorded against the property.

In its homeownership and single family rehabilitation programs the City utilizes the homeownership limits for the San Bernardino Metropolitan/FMR Area provided by HUD.

•Amount of HOME Subsidy: Less than $15,000 Period of Affordability: 5 years •Amount of HOME Subsidy: $15,000 to $40,000 Period of Affordability: 10 years •Amount of HOME Subsidy: More than $40,000 Period of Affordability:15 years The City's affordability covenant requires that HOME units acquired with HOME funds remain affordable for the period noted based on the amount of HOME subsidy. The City requires that its CHDO/subrecipients who carry out HOME funded ownership programs utilize the noted recapture provisions, which are part of the affordability covenant executed by the homeowner and recorded against the property.

In its homeownership and single family rehabilitation programs the City utilizes the homeownership limits for the San Bernardino Metropolitan/FMR Area provided by HUD.

4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:

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.

The City of San Bernardino attends and participates, on a quarterly basis, the Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH). The ICH is a vital component of the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership. The ICH serves as the policy making body of the Partnership and oversees the implementation of the 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness in San Bernardino County. The ICH will focus on resource development to insure the funding of homeless projects and 10-Year Strategy recommendations. In addition, ICH serves as the HUD-designated primary decision-making group and oversight board of the City of San Bernardino & County (hereinafter referred to as the “geographic area”) Continuum of Care for the Homeless (CA-609) funding process, (hereinafter referred to as the “CoC”). There are currently former homeless individuals that participate in the policy making decisions of the CoC, regarding facilities or services that receive ESG funding from the City.

The ICH is charged with directing, coordinating and evaluating all of the activities related to implementation of the 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness. The ICH members are directed to report progress on the implementation of the 10-Year Strategy to their colleagues and constituents following each meeting of the ICH. The ICH will promote collaborative partnerships among homeless providers and stakeholders throughout San Bernardino County in order to carry out implementation activities and will develop resources to insure the funding of homeless projects and 10-Year Strategy recommendations.

As the oversight board of the CoC, the ICH duties are: 1. To ensure that the CoC is meeting all of the responsibilities assigned to it by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations including: a. The operation and oversight of the local CoC; b. Designation and operation of a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS); i. Designate a single HMIS for the geographic area; ii.
