3 Inland Fair Housing Mediation Board
IFHMB's proposed fair housing program will include intake, investigation, mediation, and enforcement activities. We also utilize our landlord-tenant program as a means of providing information to residents and property owners/ managers so that they can resolve disputes that could otherwise result in the loss of housing opportunities. IFHMB staff conduct monthly outreach to the community, including individuals, and housing-related organizations utilizing online outreach strategies. Fair Housing virtual workshops are conducted throughout the year to familiarize residents with their housing rights and responsibilities, including federal and state fair housing laws.Complaints of housing discrimination will be analyzed and investigated to determine if fair housing violations have occurred. IFHMB's fair housing staff will assist residents with the processing of complaints to HUD, the Department of Justice, the California Civil Rights Department, or provide a referral to a private attorney. Residents can reach the agency by telephone by email, and by regular mail. In addition, IFHMB will provide technical assistance upon request to city officials regarding Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing requirements.Finally, IFHMB's fair housing and landlord/tenant mediation program addresses the need for access to information about housing rights and responsibilities.

Expand a pilot project serving unhoused residents. CDBG funds from the City of San Bernardino will support Public Service Activities that Project West will carry out as they conduct outreach and education, build trust, and navigate unhoused residents to health and mental health services and other local community resources.Conduct outreach and navigate at least 100 unhoused residents to 1) health and mental health services, and 2) provide a warm hand off to basic needs (food, clothing, shelter, hygiene), employment supports (including how to obtain identification cards and other documents), and opportunities to enroll in city, county, state and federal programs.Coordinate at least 1 donation drive to gather wish list items identified by the community(batteries, socks, sports bras, hygiene products, toothbrushes, pet food, first aid kits, soap, blankets, chargers, knee braces, bus passes, etc), collaborate with local partners(i.e St. Bernardine’s Church, a local Car Club, and San Bernardino Eagles Social Club) and distribute care packages to 50-75 unhoused residents; at least 1 additional donation drive will be provided with funds leveraged from other sources (Inland Empire Health Plan-IEHP, Aetna). Coordinate at least 1 resource fair for unhoused resident leaders and bring 8-12 community-based resources to the community based on residents’ identified needs and interests (such as: Assurance Wireless for free cell phones, NID Housing Counseling Agency for housing resources, Community Action Partnership for showers, BFRG Foundation for skill development classes, computer access); the resource fair will be supported, at least in part, with funds leveraged from other sources (e.g., San Manuel Cares, pending application).

11 Citrus Counseling Services
CCS is a nonprofit mental health agency providing counseling and mental health services throughout the Inland Empire of Southern CA since 1978. A recent development in the agency's history is the merger/acquisition of Family Service Agency of San Bernardino (FSASB) that was in jeopardy of closing its doors permanently. The former FSASB facility in the City of San Bernardino needs serious repairs and upgrades after years of neglected maintenance. CCS believes people in low-income areas deserve to receive services in clean, inviting, functional, and well-maintained facilities. Many of the repairs are required in order to comply with state and local licensing requirements. The project seeks to repair/replace/improve the facility (i.e. Roof, Flooring, Plumbing, Painting, Parking Lot, Fencing, and Security), and other health and safety issues such as ADA access. With improved infrastructure, plans to service 300 unduplicated San Bernardino residents per year $100,000 $0
Med to High. There is a lot of documentation that
goes into doing a construction project with CDBG,
specifically section 3 is the most cumbersome. Would
need to ensure consultant/project manager can
comply. Previous grant funding, not CDBG.
Construction timeline seems unrealistic and starts
before funds are awarded. Most of the leveraged
funds have not been acquired. Could potentially fund
entity as a public service activity in the future for
mental health services if construction is successful

Low risk. Has had similar programs in other locations
using CDBG funds. They have the capability to track,
monitor,and manage grant funds. An assessment of
LMI daycares in San Bernardino would need to be
reviewed to see if this program would have a
significant impact on the community. If objective is
jobs created instead of LMI, would like to see methods
of ongoing verification--would need to be monitored
for years after program completion to ensure jobs
created benefit low/mod individuals.

there have been multiple projects that have halted or

caused the City to not meet HUD required timely
expenditure deadlines for 2 consecutive years--and
possibly a 3rd. To remedy this, the Housing division
has implemented an MOU and trainings outlining what

17 Housing Authority of the County of San
Bernardino
HACSB is seeking $2.2 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding that will be used to support the construction of ninety-two units of much needed affordable housing by funding frontage improvements along East Adler Street between East Orange Street and East Olive Street. Improvements will include the construction of wet and dry utilities, including those needed to support the installation of sixteen electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS), 32 EVCS ready parking spaces, photovoltaic panels, new pavement, sidewalks, ADA compliant curb cuts, landscaping, and other related improvements that will enhance the level of sustainability and walkability within the Arrowhead Grove development area while addressing the lack of accessible EV charging infrastructure for multifamily housing, which is a welldocumented deficiency in affordable housing projects that will only continue to exacerbate as electric vehicles become more common and accessible for low-income families.
An allocation of CDBG funding will also help in mitigating the overall cost of financing and construction associated with Phase IV that have continued to escalate due to substantial increases in both construction and financing costs per market conditions.
