Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The City of San Bernardino (City) must prepare and submit to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) an Annual Action Plan that details the proposed uses of federal grants the City receives. The City is an entitlement community and receives the following federal grants:
•Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
•HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
•Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
The Action Plan serves as the City’s annual application to HUD and is a requirement for a receipt of yearly allocations of the grants noted above. To receive these funds, the City undertakes a planning process known as the Consolidated Plan cycle. This process is documented by three reports: 1) a Five- Year Consolidated Plan; 2) five annual one-year Action Plans, and 3) five annual Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPERs).

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The City of San Bernardino has a range of housing and community development needs. The City's objective is to use its grant funds to coordinate programs, services, and projects with the anticipated outcome of creating a decent and suitable living environment to benefit low- and moderate-income households and those with special needs. Priorities for the FY 2020-2024 CONSOLIDATED PLAN established in consultation with residents and community groups are noted.

Priority Objectives/Goals

1. Expand homeownership opportunities and assist homebuyers with the purchase of affordable housing: Four (4) single family units to be added in Eastpointe neighborhood. Incomes will range from 50% to 80% of Area Median Income (AMI).

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

Preserve and rehabilitate existing single-family dwellings – As a result of a change to the loan terms for the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Program, which change the loan from a forgivable loan to a deferred loan, there was no interest in the program and consequent homes were not rehabilitated. However, the program will be changed to a forgivable loan and funds currently budgeted will be carried over into the next program year.

1. Introduction
The City views the Consolidated Plan as an opportunity to engage the community in the CDBG, ESG, and HOME investment process. It urges citizens to voice their concerns and share their ideas concerning community development, affordable housing, and homelessness. It encourages all residents, especially those living in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, to participate in the planning process.

On April 17, 2024 the City Council amended this Annual Action Plan as well as the FY 2023-24 Annual Action Plan, through a substantial amendment, to move approximately $655,886 funds from the FY 2020-2021 Encanto Community Center Project, and approximately $1,080,158 from the FY 2023-24 Street Improvement Project to the Nicholson Neighborhood Park Project. The Nicholson Neighborhood Park Project is a FY 2020-21 project. A notice was published on March 13, 2024 along with a correction notice published on April 5, 2024.

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.

As homelessness does not have boundaries, the most efficient way to address the needs of the homeless (especially chronically homeless populations), is regionally. There are four entities that work collaboratively to address homelessness throughout San Bernardino County. They are: 1) the Interagency Council on Homelessness, a policy making body; 2) Homeless Provider Network, an advisory group made up of local public, private, faith-based, non-profit and housing organizations who work to improve service delivery to the homeless; 3) Central Valley Steering Committee, which is a sub- committee of the Homeless Provider Network, is a group made up of the following cities, San Bernardino, Rialto, Redlands, Colton, Grand Terrace, and Fontana, in addition to private, faith-based, non-profit and housing organizations who collaborate to improve service delivery to the homeless. The goal of the Central Valley Steering Committee is to advocate for the homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless residing in those cities that are in the County of San Bernardino; 4) the San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Administration, Office of Homeless Services, the administrative arm of the CoC. The strategy that guides the actions of the above-mentioned groups is the “10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness in San Bernardino County”. This document serves as the blueprint for ending homelessness in San Bernardino County.

The City of San Bernardino is an active participant of the Continuum of Care (CoC) and fully supports the goals and objectives of the 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness in San Bernardino County. City of San Bernardino City Councilmember, Fred Shorett, represents the City of San Bernardino on the board of the Interagency Council on Homelessness, the City’s Police Department supports and participates in the Point-in-Time Homeless Count, and the Community and Economic Development staff requires its ESG subrecipients to participate in the CoC’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), a software application designed to collect client-level data and data on the provision of housing and services to homeless individuals and families and persons at risk of homelessness.

Through its ESG program the City funds five organizations that provide street outreach, emergency shelter, homeless prevention services, rapid rehousing and HMIS.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City works closely with the CoC and attends its regular scheduled meetings and trainings in the area of homelessness. The City consults with the Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH), which has not less than one former homeless member, in regards to funding recommendations. The discussions at the City of San Bernardino
Annual Action Plan
2020
13 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
ICH meetings are comprised of updates on HMIS and a monthly data quality report is provided illustrating the number of clients enrolled in the non-profit organizations using HMIS. The updates are helpful in evaluating the outcomes of projects and activities assisted with ESG. Other topics of discussion include presentations to the Office of Homeless Services on activities from the San Bernardino County Reentry Collaborative regarding workshop meetings to discuss updating their strategic plan, and a Community Recidivism Reduction Program. A Veterans Initiative – the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) has continued to develop creative and effective ways to address the needs of the County’s homeless veterans. Over the past year the HASCB, along with the support and efforts of our affiliate non-profits, KEYS and HP1 Inc., has created housing opportunities for homeless veterans.

AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The City of San Bernardino estimates it will receive roughly $25 Million over the next five years from CDBG, HOME and ESG funds. In PY20 the City will receive:
•CDBG $3,405,297
•HOME $1,404,479
•ESG $ 295,799
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (Cares Act) was signed into law. Pursuant to the CARES Act, HUD has allocated $2,003,529 in Community Development Block Grant-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV1) funds, $1,019,997 in Emergency Solutions Grant- Coronavirus (ESG-CV1) funds and $3,422,960 in Emergency Solutions Grant-Coronavirus (ESG-CV2) funds to the City of San Bernardino to fund activities that prevent, prepare, and respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. As directed by HUD, the FY 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan was amended on August 19, 2020 to add Round 1 of CDBG-CV funded activities and Round 1 and 2 of ESG-CV funded activities.

On September 11, 2020, HUD announced the City would receive $1,702,135 in CDBG-CV Round 3 funds. These funds must also be used to prevent, prepare for, and/or respond to the Coronavirus pandemic and the FY 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan should be further amended to add Round 3 funds. CDBG-CV3 will be used for buildings and improvements, including public facilities, such as improvements to libraries and community centers affected by the Coronavirus.

On April 17, 2024 the City Council amended this Annual Action Plan as well as the FY 2023-24 Annual Action Plan, through a substantial amendment, to move approximately $655,886 funds from the FY 2020-2021 Encanto Community Center Project, and approximately $1,080,158 from the FY 2023-24 Street Improvement Project to the Nicholson Neighborhood Park Project. The Nicholson Neighborhood Park Project is a FY 2020-21 project.

A notice was published on March 13, 2024 along with a correction notice published on April 5, 2024.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
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 City of San Bernardino
Annual Action Plan
2020
30 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs The allocation priorities are a result of input received from the community and based on the identified needs such as the state of the City's infrastructure, housing stock and poverty. The primary obstacle in addressing underserved needs is insufficient resources to meet the ongoing needs of persons, especially those with special needs such as the homeless.

On August 16, 2023 City Council approved the allocation of $1,100,981 of unspent CDBG-CV 1 and 3 funds to an interim emergency shelter to assist unhoused families and individuals, with temporary shelter.

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 Annual Action Plan
2020
65 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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.

Due to the changed circumstances as a result of Covid-19, LSSSC has decided it would be more prudent to rehabilitate their existing shelter, instead of building a new shelter as previously planned. The City will assist LSSSC by provding $500,000 for the rehabilitation and modification of the existing shelter to better prevent, prepare for and respond to Covid-19.

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 Annual Action Plan

and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City of San Bernardino recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue that impacts every 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 Annual Action Plan
2020
68 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 Aids 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- Annual Action Plan
2020
70 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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.

Discussion:

To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the 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 Annual Action Plan
2020
73 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
seniors and lower-income households.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing 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 Annual Action Plan
2020

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.

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.

The City does not anticipate using other forms of investment beyond those identified in Section

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 Annual Action Plan

limits for the San Bernardino Metropolitan/FMR Area provided by HUD.

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:

Measured from the Delivery Date and determined based on the amount of the HOME Subsidy, as follows:

Amount of HOME Subsidy Period of Affordability
•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:

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.
