Executive Summary

1. Introduction
The City of San Bernardino (City) is an entitlement City that receives federal funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban and Development (HUD). The City receives funds through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).
The CDBG entitlement program provides formula funding to cities and counties to address community development needs. Seventy percent of gross funding must be used to serve low- to moderate-income households. Eligible activities must meet one of the following national objectives for the program:
• Benefit low-and moderate-income persons
• Prevent or eliminate slums or blight
• Address community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community for which other funding is not available
The HOME entitlement program provides formula grant funding for a wide range of activities including building, purchasing, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership and providing direct rental assistance to low-income households. The program's flexibility allows states and local governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other forms of credit enhancements, or rental assistance or security deposits.
The ESG program provides formula grant funding to cities and counties to engage homeless individuals and families living on the street, rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families, help operate and provide essential services in emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families, and prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless.
The Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) is a five-year planning document. This plan covers the period from fiscal year 2020-21 through fiscal year 2024-25. The purpose of the ConPlan is to guide a jurisdiction to:
• Assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions; • Make data-driven, place-based investment decisions; and • Conduct community-wide discussions to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus on eligible activities for CDBG funding.
Recipients of CDBG and HOME funding must also prepare and submit to HUD an Annual Action Plan (AAP) that describes in detail, each year, how the ConPlan will be carried out. The AAP must provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the ConPlan. Additionally, at the end of each fiscal year, jurisdictions must complete and submit to HUD a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to report on the accomplishments and progress toward the Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 2

ConPlan's goals.
The City anticipates approximately $15,000,000 in CDBG funds, $6,000,000 in HOME funds, and $1,400,000 in ESG funds during the 2020-2025 ConPlan period.
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The objective of the Needs Assessment is to gather information from the community and all partners, as well as demographic and economic data regarding the City's homeless population, need for affordable housing, special needs population, and community development needs. This information is used to make data-driven decisions to establish priority community needs and strategies based on current conditions, expected funds, and local capacity. Through data collection, outreach, and analysis presented in this plan, a clear outline of the City's priority needs is formed, along with the projects and facilities that are most likely to aid in the City's development.
A summary of needs identified in the City of San Bernardino include:
• Rehabilitation of single-family owner-occupied housing and rental units • Housing for households below 80% area median income
• Expanding homeownership
• Homeless services and homeless prevention services
• Economic development
• Improvement of facilities and infrastructure
• Fair housing services
See Needs Assessment (NA) section beginning on page 26 for additional discussion on these identified needs.

Strategic Plan Summary
3. Evaluation of past performance
The City's CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds successfully contributed to several projects over the last five years. Those projects have contributed to improved housing affordability and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income households.
Affordable Housing. HOME funds were used to construct new homeowner housing and CDBG funds were used to rehabilitate existing housing. For example, in FY 2018-2019, three new homeowner units were added, and seven homeowner houses were rehabilitated. Additionally, in FY 2019-2020, the City anticipates adding eight new single-family ownership units for households earning between 50 and 80 percent AMI.
Fair Housing. CDBG funds were used to contract with the Inland Fair Housing Mediation Board to provide fair housing services, including landlord/tenant mediation, housing counseling, alternative dispute resolution, and senior services to San Bernardino residents. For example, in FY 2018-2019, approximately 2,700 residents were served. For FY 2019-2020, the City anticipates serving approximately 3,300 residents.
Homelessness. ESG funds were used to connect homeless individuals to services, such as street outreach, rapid rehousing, emergency shelter, and homeless prevention services. As of FY 2018-19, 566 people were served through these programs. Additionally, in FY 2018-2019, the City assisted in the acquisition and rehabilitation of a 38-unit apartment complex to assist homeless households into Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 4

permanent supportive housing. In FY 2019-2020, the City anticipates serving 350 persons experiencing homelessness.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process Robust community engagement was achieved through engaging a diverse group of stakeholders to identify priorities, concerns, and values. The feedback provided through the community engagement process supported the development of this ConPlan, including the development of housing and community development needs, priorities, goals, and strategies for funding allocation.
For the purposes of this plan, the community outreach included residents, business owners, and interest groups. Targeted outreach was provided to youth, elderly, racial and ethnic minorities, renters and property owners, and business owners across the City. Leveraging existing stakeholder contacts, recognizing underrepresented stakeholders, and identifying new stakeholders was integral to the process of reaching the greater San Bernardino community and ensuring a broad depth of participation.
The City announced the various community engagement opportunities through its social media, newspaper noticing, and email blasts.
Members of the public had the following opportunities for participation and comment, all of which were offered throughout San Bernardino during the ConPlan process:
• Public Meetings: Walk-in meetings were held across the City so that members of the public could describe what needs and concerns they see in their community. • Housing Summit: A housing summit was held for community leaders, agency representatives, service providers, planning professionals, developers, and business owners to learn and exchange information about the current state of housing and development in the City. • Stakeholder Interviews: Various local organizations were interviewed to receive feedback on the most pressing priorities and needs of target populations. • Pop-Up Events: Structured for short interactions, the pop-up took the form of a booth set up at an event to allow access to a specific stakeholder group. Feedback provided at pop-up events was collected through interactive exercises (dot votes, etc.) or verbal responses to big picture questions.
Online Feedback Collection (Survey): To broadly access and efficiently obtain information from a large number of geographically distributed citizens, an online survey was prepared. The survey provided an opportunity to leave additional, relevant comments. The survey was announced through City media outlets and disseminated through key community liaisons or stakeholders with access to resident and community groups, business owners, and interest groups.
A detailed summary of community engagement, including participation, methods, and feedback, can be found in Sections PR-10 (Consultations) and PR-15 (Citizen Participation) of this ConPlan.

1. Introduction
The consultation section of the ConPlan provides detailed information about the agencies, offices, staff and interested parties that were interviewed or consulted during the engagement process. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).
The City of San Bernardino created a comprehensive community engagement program. Community engagement is key for helping the City to identify needs, priorities, goals, strategies, and activities for future housing and community development activities over the five-year Consolidated Plan period.
Engagement activities included a community survey, community meetings, pop-up events, a housing summit, and stakeholder consultations.
As a part of the stakeholder consultation process, the City consulted with a variety of stakeholders, including local and regional community-based organizations, health and mental and behavioral health care providers, and housing service organizations.
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 Homelessness. During the development of its ConPlan and Annual Plans and as a general practice, the City coordinated with a variety of housing/shelter organizations, public and mental health agencies, and service providers to discuss community needs. Examples of those consulted include Salvation Army â¿¿ Hospitality House, Dignity Health, Inland Valley Recovery Services, and Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County; for a complete list see Table 2 below. Their collective feedback was especially valuable in gathering information and shaping priorities for this plan as it relates to special needs populations, general health, and mental health services in the City. Through this process, the City interviewed the Continuum of Care (CoC) to ascertain the needs of homeless individuals throughout the City as well as the organizational needs and challenges of the CoC itself. The CoCâ¿¿s feedback will be used to shape the goals identified in this ConPlan, which will then address the needs of homeless individuals in the City.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 9

The San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP) is the administrator of the regional CoC, which serves the entire County. The City continuously coordinates with the CoC to end and prevent homelessness in the County. The CoC is a group composed of stakeholders throughout the County, including governmental agencies, homeless service and shelter providers, homeless persons, housing advocates, affordable housing developers, and various private parties, including businesses and foundations.
The SBCHP is a collaboration among community and faith-based organizations, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, private industry, and federal, state, and local governments. The partnership focuses on addressing issues of homelessness within the County.
The SBCHP was developed to direct the planning, development, and implementation of the Countyâ¿¿s 10-year Strategy to end chronic homelessness. The partnership leads the creation of a comprehensive network to deliver much-needed services to the homeless and to families and individuals at risk of homelessness through careful planning and coordination among all entities that provide services and resources to prevent homelessness. The Cityâ¿¿s ConPlan is aligned with the SBCHPâ¿¿s 10-year Strategy to end chronic homelessness.
According to the Cityâ¿¿s ESG Policies and Procedures, consultation takes place with participation of City officials, staff serving on the CoC Governance Board, and the Advisory Committee of the CoC Board.
In these roles, the City participates in setting local priorities, certifying need, and the annual review of ESG programs. The Community and Economic Development Department serves as the administrative entity for the ESG and compiles program documentation which includes information about the responsibilities of the CoC and ESG programs, HUD regulations, and policy statements such as coordinated entry system, prioritization and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) participation. Compiled data is used to report on project outcomes to HUD through the ESG CAPER.

Table 3 - Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(I))
The collaborative implementation of this ConPlan over the course of the next five years begins with the coordinated efforts of multiple public agencies working together to gather feedback and information for regional and local community needs and priorities. Once needs and priorities are identified, they are then incorporated into the City's ConPlan, forming both regional and local strategies for addressing those needs and priorities.
Furthermore, community outreach to local leaders, stakeholders, and residents is a critical first step in implementing this plan's desired community changes. By successfully establishing relationships and trust between the government, those providing services or community improvements, and the beneficiaries of these services or improvements, the City and community can move toward a joint vision for what and how to make community improvements. The agencies, groups, and organizations who participated are listed in the table above. Other local/regional/federal planning efforts can be found above.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting Outreach is essential to the City's ability to create an accurate and effective plan, and to allocate resources appropriately. The City attempted to reach as many residents as possible within specific demographics, such as low-income families, persons with disabilities, elderly persons, female- headed households, and parents/guardians of children. Receiving feedback from residents, especially those who may receive assistance from grant funds, is critical to the success of the CDBG program. The City reached out to practitioners, agencies, leaders, organizations, and companies who may have the specialized knowledge, experience, resources, and capacity to discuss needs, opportunities, solutions, investments, and how community improvements can be made. All City residents were encouraged to provide input on community needs through citizen participation opportunities.
Community Needs Survey. This community survey was noticed through the newspaper, the City's website, and distribution of flyers in both English and Spanish. The online and paper survey was made available to the public between January 7, 2020, and February 28, 2020. The survey was provided in English and Spanish. Data gathered from the survey provided community feedback needs for housing, public facilities, infrastructure, homelessness, economic development, and community services, as well as on local demographic data. A copy of the survey, along with the final results, can be found at the attached Community Engagement Summary.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment is a collection and analysis of data that assesses the extent of housing problems and housing needs for residents of the City of San Bernardino. The assessment focuses on affordable housing, special needs housing, community development, and homelessness. The information in this section was gathered from HUD's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, American Community Survey (ACS) data, and various other online and City resources. Stakeholder consultations conducted with public agencies, advocates, and local experts have identified the need for transit, workforce training, additional affordable housing in safe areas, and rehabilitation of existing units for low-to moderate-income households. Findings are summarized below.
San Bernardino has a population of 214,115 persons and a total of 57,547 households. Nearly 59 percent of households in San Bernardino (33,760 total) qualify as low- to moderate-income, earning up to 80 percent of HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI).A disproportionately greater need exists when the members of racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole.
Housing cost burden is the most common housing problem experienced by households in the City. As a whole, 23 percent of households in the City are cost burdened and 26 percent are severely cost burdened. While no households experience disproportionate need, Black/African American households have the highest rates of severe cost burden at 33 percent. A household is considered severely overcrowded when there are more than 1.5 persons per room and severely cost burdened when paying more than 50 percent of household income toward housing costs. In the City, Asian households are disproportionately affected by severe housing problems. Overall, 49 percent of LMI Asian households have at least one severe housing problem compared to all LMI households in the jurisdiction.
The minority racial and ethnic groups were found to experience housing problems at a greater rate of incidence than the region as whole, often exhibiting disproportionate need. Asian, Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Pacific Islander households are disproportionately affected by housing problems in the City. Overall, 76 percent of LMI Black/African American households, 65 percent of LMI Asian households, 82 percent of LMI American Indian and Alaskan Native households, and 90 percent of LMI Pacific Islander households have at least one housing problem.
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) administers the housing choice voucher (HCV) program across the County, including the City, and manages the public housing units in the City.
The HACSB manages multiple public housing units in the City: 154 public housing units at the Maplewood Homes Community, 338 units at Wilson Street Apartments, 400 units at Arrowhead Grove, and various scattered sites throughout the City. The HACSB is currently accepting applications (in early Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 28

2020) for Crestview Terrace, a new community on the site of the former Waterman Gardens under construction in the City of San Bernardino. This property will have 116 new units for occupancy, ranging from one to five bedrooms. In addition to public housing, there are approximately 3,000 affordable units, and approximately 2,600 HCV holders live in the City.

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
Identified housing needs in the City include additional housing for single persons particularly the elderly and small families, housing that is affordable to those living below poverty levels, housing for persons living with disabilities, safe neighborhoods, and available affordable housing for the extremely low- income households. Additionally, supportive services such as access to affordable health care, childcare, nutrition assistance, public transportation, and short-term financial assistance (first/last month's rent, security deposit, and moving costs) relieve the financial burden for extremely low-income families and can help prevent homelessness. Rapid rehousing assistance is an integral component of San Bernardino County's response to homelessness.
LMI households (earning less than 80% AMI) experience housing problems at a greater rate than households that do not fall in lower income categories. Housing problems are more frequent among households that rent their home as compared to households that own their home.
Community engagement activities identified affordable housing and, specifically, housing programs that support persons with disabilities and mental health issues as priority housing needs for the City.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
According to the ACS 2014-2018 5-Year Estimates, there are 11,511 single-person households in the City, which represents 19 percent of households in San Bernardino (Table 5). Based on the ACS 2014-2018 5- Year Estimates, single-person households are primarily persons between 35 and 64 years of age (49 percent); however, persons over 65 years make up 38 percent of single-person households. The housing needs of elderly persons may be more problematic to meet than for other residents since the elderly are often living on a fixed income and many have special housing and care needs. The ACS 2014-2018 5-Year Estimates shows that 17.2 percent of persons living below the poverty level ($12,140 for a single-person household) are seniors over the age of 65 years.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Persons with Disabilities: According to the ACS 2014-2018 5-Year Estimates, approximately 12.5 percent (26,221 persons) of the population living in San Bernardino is affected by one or more disabilities. The most prevalent disability affecting this population is ambulatory difficulties, with 53 percent of persons experiencing disabilities having an ambulatory difficulty. This is closely followed by cognitive difficulty at 47 percent.
The symptoms and functional impairments that result from disabling health and behavioral health conditions can make it difficult for people to earn income from employment. Income from disability benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income, is not always sufficient to afford rent without additional assistance. Of 348 survey respondents in the 2019 San Bernardino Homeless Point-In-Time Count, 26 unsheltered adults (7.5 percent) in the City reported to have developmental disabilities and 79 unsheltered adults (22.7 percent) reported to have a mental health disability or disorder that affect their ability to live independently.

Victims of Domestic Violence: In 2017, the state of California saw 169,362 domestic-violence related calls. [1] The California Department of Justice data reports that calls for services related to domestic violence in San Bernardino County increased by 51 percent since 2014, with 12,012 calls documented in 2017—7 percent of all calls within California. ACS 2013-2107 data shows that residents of San Bernardino County (2,121,220 persons) make up 5.4 percent of the state's population (38,982,847 persons). Nationwide data is collected annually during a 24-hour Census period; on September 13, 2017, 19,147 domestic violence-related calls were received by local and state hotline staff of the 1,694 out of 1,873 (90%) participating domestic violence programs, and the National Domestic Violence Hotline staff answered 2,205 calls or texts.[2] This averages more than 14 calls every minute. If this level of need continues, the hotlines would receive more than 7.5 million calls per year; the hotlines do not include the supportive services needed to help a victim and their family.
This reflects the larger trend of a rise in violent crime in San Bernardino County. The San Bernardino County Community Indicator Report finds that violent crime has increased by 20 percent since 2014, and specifically the rate of rape increased 74 percent since 2014 (California Department of Justice, 2017 data). In the state of California overall, after reaching a low in 2014, the violent crime rate increased by 13 percent from 2014 to 2017, with rape specifically increasing by 34 percent, although this drastic increase is much lower than the County's during the same period. [3] Domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking can be precursors to homelessness. The 2019 San Bernardino Homeless Point-In-Time survey identified 35 persons residing in the City who were experiencing homelessness due to fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, representing 10.1 percent of the 348 persons experiencing homelessness residing in the City who participated in the survey.
What are the most common housing problems?
As shown in Table 7 (Housing Problems Table), housing cost burden is the most common housing problem experienced by both renters and homeowners. Of the 57,580 households in the city, 20 percent experience severe cost burden (more than 50 percent of monthly earnings going toward housing costs) and 16 percent experience cost burden (more than 30 percent of monthly earnings going toward housing costs).
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Forty-six percent of the City's households are small families. Since small households comprise the largest type of household and since 55 percent of these households are also low-income, they could be more significantly affected by housing problems.
Across all categories (substandard housing, overcrowding, and cost burden), renter households consistently experience housing problems at a greater rate than owner-occupied households (Housing Problems Table). LMI renter households experience housing problems at a higher rate (60 percent) than LMI owner households (44 percent). The disparity between renters and homeowners is most significant for households experiencing severe housing cost burden (more than 50 percent of monthly earnings Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 36
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)

going toward housing costs), where of the 11,629 households experiencing severe cost burden, 71 percent are renter households. This is followed by housing cost burden (more than 30 percent of monthly earnings going toward housing costs), where 62 percent of the total number of households experiencing cost burden are renter households. As discussed in the previous question, housing cost burden represents the most common housing challenge.
Housing problems are predominantly experienced by extremely low-income households, particularly extremely low-income renters. With the exception of housing cost burden, where low-income (50 to 80 percent AMI) households make up the majority of renting households experiencing cost burden, extremely low-income households consist of at least 40 percent of renters experiencing each housing problem. Further, extremely low-income households (renter and owner-occupied households) are more likely to experience more than one housing problem, with over half of households (55 percent) experiencing more than one housing problem.
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance Just over 23 percent of households in San Bernardino (13,335 households) qualify as extremely low- income (Table 6), largely unchanged since 2015 when the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan was prepared.
Small families (families of four persons or less) comprise 42 percent (5,535 households) of the City's extremely low-income households. Further, almost a third (4,204) extremely low-income households have at least one child six years or younger. Compounding financial demands that affect low-income families with small children can lead to a high risk of homelessness. Families that rely on low-wage jobs often work nonstandard and/or inflexible hours, which can be restrictive to families with both school- age and young children. Additionally, low-wage jobs have less access to paid leave or health insurance as compared to high-wage jobs, further exacerbating stress on families with limited resources when children experience injuries and illness.
As evidenced by the number of extremely low-income households experiencing housing cost burden and severe cost burden, affordable housing is a significant need for extremely low-income households in the City. Additionally, supportive services such as access to affordable health care, childcare, nutrition assistance, public transportation, and short-term financial assistance (first/last month's rent, security deposit, and moving costs) relieve the financial burden for extremely low-income families and can help prevent homelessness.
Rapid rehousing assistance is an integral component of San Bernardino County's response to homelessness. Rapid rehousing is designed to help individuals and families quickly exit homelessness and return to permanent housing through a "housing first" approach where the recipients of assistance do not need to graduate through a series of services before reaching permanent housing. Based on the Rapid Rehousing Program Standards, Practices, & Model Guidelines adopted by the San Bernardino Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 37
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Demo
County Homeless Partnership in January 2019, the program prioritizes a housing first approach to assisting homeless families with children, recognizing that the crisis of homelessness is preventative to obtaining housing and maintaining stability (such as finding affordable housing, employment, assistance programs, etc.). By providing permanent housing quickly, the family is more likely to establish a stable housing situation and avoid returning to homelessness. Rapid rehousing provides community benefits through improving the effectiveness of the County's homeless services and reducing demand for shelters and other temporary solutions.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:
The City generally defines those households of extremely low incomes and those living below the poverty status to be at risk of becoming homeless. The estimates are based on CHAS data provided by HUD and on ACS data by the US Census Bureau, respectively.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Housing problems and severe housing problems occur at a higher rate among very low-and extremely low-income households. Cost burden, overcrowding, and poor housing conditions, particularly for renters, all link to an instability in housing that can lead to homelessness. Many lowâ¿Â•income households have difficulty finding reasonably affordable, suitable rental housing. The lack of options available for these populations leads to housing problems and severe housing problems. Households in the very low-and extremely low-income categories live in housing above their means and face cost burden. Alternatively, they avoid high housing costs by living in substandard housing or with other families or extended families, which contributes to overcrowding.
Discussion
Overall, this assessment finds that:
LMI households (earning less than 80% AMI) experience housing problems at a greater rate than households that do not fall in lower income categories. Housing problems are more frequent among households that rent their home as compared to households that own their home.
Extremely low-income renters make up the majority of household types experiencing housing problems.
Extremely low-income households, for both renter and owner-occupied households, are more likely to experience more than one housing problem, with over half of the households (55 percent) experiencing more than one housing problem falling within the extremely low-income bracket.
The above findings indicate a lack of affordable housing available to lower income renters, but especially housing that would be affordable to extremely low-income households. Results from the community Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 38

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems - 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
For the purposes of this ConPlan, disproportionately greater need is assumed to exist when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least 10 percentage points higher than the percentage point of persons in the category as a whole. A household is considered to have a housing problem when their home lacks complete kitchen or plumbing facilities, when there is more than one person per room, or when a cost burden (30% or more of income toward housing) exists.
This section's tables demonstrate the disproportionately greater need across the lower-income levels (0%-30%, 30%-50%, and 50%-80% of AMI). Consistently, across each of the income brackets shown below, American Indian/Alaska Native households experience housing problems at a disproportionate rate. Conversely, White households never exceed the jurisdictional rate for housing problems across all households. It should be noted that the sample sizes for both American Indians/Alaska Native and Pacific Islander households are comparatively small, which may mean the data is not accurate. 0%-30% of Area Median Income

Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction
A household is considered severely overcrowded when there are more than 1.5 persons per room and severely cost burdened when paying more than 50 percent of household income toward housing costs.
For renters, housing costs include rent paid by the tenant plus utilities. For owners, housing costs include mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, and utilities.
Per HUD definitions, disproportionate housing needs are defined as "significant disparities in the proportion of members of a protected class experiencing a category of housing need when compared to the proportion of members of any other relevant groups or the total population experiencing that category of housing need in the applicable geographic area" (24 CFR § 5.152). For the purposes of this ConPlan, a disproportionate need refers to a group that has housing needs which are at least 10 percentage points higher than the total population.

Introduction
The HACSB is the regional entity that manages and maintains housing units and administers Housing Choice Voucher programs across the County, including the City of San Bernardino. There are approximately 2,600 voucher holders in the City of San Bernardino.
Over 10,700 housing vouchers are currently active countywide. The majority of voucher holders have a tenant-based voucher, which is a type of voucher that allows the holder to use the voucher at any housing unit where the landlord will accept it. Currently, there are approximately 31,000 households on the Housing Choice Voucher waiting list for project-based and 23,023 for tenant-based vouchers. Some households are duplicates.
The following tables describe the number of housing vouchers in use within the County and the demographics of those receiving vouchers. Data on the number of vouchers in use within the City is unavailable.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:
As shown in the above tables, the average annual income of all vouchers holders is approximately $14,084, which is 22 percent of the County household median income. This indicates these voucher holders have limited income to cover basic transportation, medical, food, and personal needs. As indicated in Table 23, 5,277 voucher holders (37 percent) have requested some type of accessible feature, demonstrating a need. Also, given the number of persons with disabilities across the County, the need for accessible units would be great.
Additionally, for persons with disabilities who are already on the HACSB waiting list, there is a need for case management and comprehensive support services.
As a Moving-to-Work agency, the HACSB is implementing activities designed to increase the cost effectiveness of federal programs and increase the amount of affordable, quality housing units. As such, the HACSB is implementing a local project-based voucher program designed to increase the number of affordable units, a local family self-sufficiency program to increase household income, and the No Child Left Unsheltered program which provides Housing Choice Vouchers to eligible homeless families.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders HACSB identified that the current housing program waiting lists are too long and have been closed for quite some time. Furthermore, there is a need for applicant assistance in the housing program application process. The most immediate need is finding housing units and property owners that will accept vouchers.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large Although Housing Choice Vouchers are available to low-income households, the voucher program is unable to accommodate all low-income households. As discussed in MA-15, there is a gap of 11,445 units for households earning between 0 to 30 percent AMI and a gap of 2,750 units for households earning between 30 to 50 percent AMI. Moderate- and above moderate-income categories are more able to secure affordable housing in the City.

Subpopulation data is not available for several of catgories in the table above.
Between October 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019, 426 individuals exited homelessness from emergency shelters or transitional housing. Of these individuals, 13 percent reentered homelessness within less than six months, 9 percent reentered between 6 and 12 months, and 2 percent reentered between 13 and 24 months. Overall, 25 percent reentered homelessness within two years.
During the same period, the average length of time being homeless was 118 days and the median time was 56 days.
According to the County and City Point-in-Time Counts, the City has noticed an increase in homeless population since 2018. From 2018 to 2019 the homeless population increased in the City 37 percent. The County experienced a 23 percent increase over the same period of time. The preceeding table acknowledges the number of unsheltered individuals is overwelming compared to those who find shelter and that a majority of the homeless people have been categorized as chronically homeless individuals as well as veterans.

This data is for sheltered homeless individuals only. Data was not available for unsheltered homeless individuals.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.
According to 2019 PIT Count data for the City, there are approximately 639 unsheltered homeless individuals and 244 sheltered homeless individuals living in the City. According to the Point-in-Time Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 57
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
count survey, 17 percent of unsheltered homeless individuals residing in the City had been homeless for less than a year; 59 percent were homeless between one and five years; 12 percent were homeless between six and ten years; and 11 percent were homeless for more than ten years. Seventy-one percent of respondents stated that they lived in the City of San Bernardino before becoming homeless.
Discussion:
There are approximately 2,607 homeless individuals counted in the County of those counted, 883 reside in the City. As identified in MA-30, homeless providers still complain there is not enough emergency shelter space, transitional, rapid rehousing, or permanent supportive housing beds to accommodate them. The CoC's service capacities have increased within the previous five years; however, there is still a need for beds and additional supportive services.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:
The following section describes the special needs of the following populations:
• Elderly households (defined as 62 years and older)
• Persons with mental, physical, and/or developmental disabilities • Large households
• Female-headed households
• Persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
Elderly Households (defined as 62 years and older). Many elderly people live on fixed incomes, making housing affordability a key issue. Access to properly sized units, transit, and healthcare are also important concerns of elderly households. Elderly households may also require residential care from time to time. Approximately 11 percent of City residents (23,827) are 62 years of age or older.
Persons with mental, physical, and/or developmental disabilities. Persons with disabilities may require special housing accommodations, such as wheelchair accessibility and other modifications to live independently. Access to transit is also a high priority for this population. According to the ACS 2014- 2018 5-Year Estimates, 26,221 residents (12.5 percent) are living with a disability. Of those 65 years and older, 46.5 percent are living with a disability.
Female Household. Female-headed households may have special needs related to accessing childcare and other supportive services as well as an increased risk of poverty. As displayed in the table below, female-headed households comprise 35 percent of households with children.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
Elderly, disabled, small, large, and female-headed households and households with children are a significant portion of the City's population and tend to have special housing needs that require diverse types of affordable housing. HACSB does not have enough HCVs to meet the need of all special needs households.
When surveyed during the community engagement process, residents selected "construction of new affordable rental housing" as one of the highest priority housing needs in the community. Additionally, Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 59
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
stakeholder interviews identified housing for the physically disabled, mentally ill, and single women as needs within the City.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
HIV/AIDS. Those living with HIV/AIDS and their families require stable and affordable housing in order to consistently access medical care and avoid hospitalizations. On the county level, there are approximately 4,401 people living with HIV (PLWH). Approximately 3,120 PLWH are currently in care and 2,278 are virally suppressed. Statewide, male-to-male sexual contact is the most common transmission mode at 71.4 percent of all new cases in 2017. Black/African American individuals make up 35.2 percent of all new transmissions, followed by Hispanic/Latinx individuals at 14.3 percent, American Indian/Alaskan Native at 10.8 percent, Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander at 9.1 percent, White at
8.2 percent, and Asian at 6.7 percent.
Discussion:
The County provides rapid HIV testing, counseling, prevention education, AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), and HIV clinic services for clients who do not qualify for any other medical resources.
People living with HIV/AIDs require affordable housing to maintain consistent access to medical care, adhere to medical plans, and avoid hospitalizations. They require affordable housing that will suit their needs, which include proximity to health care centers.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis 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.

MA-10 Number of Housing Units - 91.210(a)&(b)(2)
Introduction
The City is made up mostly of one-unit detached structures, at 61 percent of residential properties.
Multiunit structures make up the second highest percentage at 19 percent of the housing stock. From 2000 to the present, the development of housing stock has only increased by three to five percentage points, with multifamily units increasing more rapidly than single-family detached by approximately two percentage points.
Vacant land is available for immediate residential development in the City. Opportunities for development are identified in maps in the City's Housing Element. City policies and goals make evident that the City is committed to both redevelopment and new development. Areas of opportunity include infill housing and new development in the Downtown Core as well as along major corridors.
A healthy vacancy rate is associated with choice and mobility. A healthy vacancy rate for owner- occupied housing is 2-3 percent and 5-6 percent for rental units. In 2010, the vacancy rate for owner- occupied housing was 3.7 percent; in 2017 it was 1.3 percent, 0.7 percent below the range considered healthy. In 2010, the renter-occupied rate was 6.9 percent, above the healthy range by 0.9 percent. By 2017, the rental vacancy rate returned to the healthy range at 6 percent.
Residential mobility is influenced by tenure. Ownership housing is associated with a much lower turnover rate than rental housing. Tenure preferences are primarily related to household income, composition, and age of the householder. Between 2010 and 2017, the number of occupied units decreased, and tenure shifted from majority owner-occupied units to majority renter-occupied units.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.
The City has a total of 25 assisted multifamily housing projects that provide 3,034 affordable housing units. Fourteen projects (San Bernardino Senior Housing, Sierra Vista, Monte Vista, Buena Vista, Hacienda, AHEPA 302 Apartments, Arrowhead Vista, The Magnolia, Casa Bernadine, Casa Ramona, Jeffrey Court, Laurel Place, Light's Rancho Linda, and The Plaza) are designated as affordable senior communities and have a combined total of 1,329 units. Most of the City's affordable housing was funded by HUD, including Section 202, Section 108, PRAC, HOME, or HFDA. Many projects were also financed through Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). Affordable housing units also received funding through the former redevelopment agency or bonds. The HACSB also assisted with the development of the Medical Center Apartments (287 affordable units).
The City falls within the jurisdiction of the HACSB. The HACSB administers the Housing Choice Voucher program, which provides rental assistance to income-eligible residents of San Bernardino by providing monthly rental assistance to participants who rent from a private landlord but pay only 30 percent of the monthly rental payment, with the rest paid to the landlord by HUD. In 2018, the HACSB provided 10,120 housing choice vouchers throughout San Bernardino County and 2,669 vouchers were issued to San Bernardino City residents.
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
Assisted units convert to market rate when affordable housing contracts expire. In addition, many of the City's affordable housing projects were assisted with project-based Section 8 contracts and a significant number of these units are considered at risk of converting to market-rate housing due to expiration of subsidy contracts. A total of 15 projects, with a combined total of 1,627 affordable units, are at risk of losing their affordability status.
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 65
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
HACSB does not anticipate losing affordable housing units due to expiration of contracts in the next five years.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Findings in the data show that there is not enough adequate housing affordable to LMI households, especially for extremely low- and very low-income households. Affordable units accommodate only half the number of households in the 0-30 percent and 30-50 percent HAMFI categories, creating an insufficient amount of housing for households at these income levels.
There is a surplus of affordable units for households in the 50-80 percent and the 80-100 percent HAMFI categories.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
According to data gathered through community outreach, there is a lack of single-family and other quality housing development. Existing housing stock is also in need of rehabilitation. The primary housing problem is affordability; households in the middle and lower-income categories have difficulty affording homeownership. A need for affordable rental housing is a top need but owner-occupied housing is considered one of the more critical housing needs in the community. The community outreach process also revealed a need for housing for persons with mental and physical disabilities.
The needs identified through community outreach are substantiated in the CHAS 2011-2015 data.
As shown in Table 29, Unit Size by Tenure, renters in the City outnumber homeowners by 13 percent.
Renters also tend to reside in smaller units: 3-bedroom units are occupied by owners by 2.18 times that of renters, whereas most no-bedroom, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom units are occupied by renters (69 percent).

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
Housing costs have the potential to cause housing problems in a community. If housing costs are high relative to household income, there will be a higher rate of cost burden and overcrowding. According to HUD, families who pay more than 30 percent of their income toward housing costs are considered cost burdened and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation and medical care. This section analyzes the cost of housing in the City of San Bernardino.
The City's housing market has fluctuated greatly over the last ten years. During the 2000 Census, the median home value (MHV) in the City was $94,000; it then saw a steep increase during the housing boom of the 2000s, increasing 115 percent by 2009 to an MHV of $270,200. Soon after, the US went into the Great Recession and housing market crash, where homes across California were foreclosed on and the City saw the MHV drop. Although the MHV has continued to decrease, it is still 41 percent higher than it was before the housing boom in 2000, and wages in the area have not increased accordingly. In 2000, the median income in the City was $31,140, which would have allowed an average household to purchase a home without becoming cost burdened (less than 30 percent of their income). In 2015, the median income in the City was $37,047, a 16 percent increase, with an MHV of $159,800, which would make most homeowners cost burdened.
Based on the 2011-2015 ACS, the median income would be sufficient for a renter to afford $1,029 in housing costs per month, which includes rent and utilities, and not be cost burdened; 72 percent of the City's renter population pays $999 or less per month.

Data Source Comments:
Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? Findings in the data show that there is not enough adequate housing affordable to LMI households, especially for extremely low- and very low-income households. Overall, affordable units accommodate only half the number of households in the 0-30 percent and 30-50 percent HAMFI categories, creating an insufficient amount of housing for households at these income levels.
According to the CHAS 2011-2015 data, approximately 13,335 households are at 0-30 percent AMI, yet there are only 1,890 rental units available that are affordable to these households (no data is available on homeowner units).
For the approximately 9,795 households in the City that are at 30-50 percent AMI, 4,130 rental units are affordable, and 2,915 units are affordable for ownership.
There is a surplus of affordable units for some of the 10,630 households in the 50-80 percent HAMFI bracket: there are approximately 18,415 rental units and 7,975 ownership units affordable to these households.
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 68
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The same is true of the 6,275 households in the City that are in the 80-100 percent HAMFI bracket: there are 11,994 units that are affordable to households earning 100 percent HAMFI, again, creating a surplus of affordable units for households in this range.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
As illustrated in the table below, home prices in the City of San Bernardino are low compared to those of the state. However, the median single-family home price has increased by approximately 23 percent between January 2016 and January 2019, which is similar to both the County of San Bernardino (24 percent increase) and the state of California as a whole (23 percent increase), during that same time period.
According to the ACS 2015-2018 5-Year Estimates, the majority of renters have consistently spent between $500 and $1,499 between 2015 and 2018; renters spending between $1,500 to $1,999 doubled during the same time period. Overall, San Bernardino is experiencing an increase in rental housing costs. Between 2015 and 2018, the median rent increased from $976 to $1,068. As shown in the table below, both the lowest cost categories (up to $999) and the highest cost categories ($2,000- $2,999) decreased as a percentage of the rental market.
Based upon market data for home prices and rental units, it can be expected that costs will increase, by small percentages.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The median gross rent for San Bernardino, according to the ACS 2018 1-Year Estimate, was $1,068; however, the HUD fair market rent for a three-bedroom is higher at $1,717.
According to the number of units available, there is a need to develop affordable units for extremely low-to very low-income households. HUD defines cost burden as 30 percent or more of family's household income spent on housing costs, including utilities. Affordable housing cost then would be 30 percent or less of a household's income. The HAMFI for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA MSA is $69,700. Affordable rent for a family of four, earning 80 percent of the area median family income, or $55,760, would be $1,436; for a family earning a very low income of 35,900, $894; and for a family earning extremely low income of 25,750, $644. A strategy to address affordable housing needs would be to put HOME and CDBG dollars toward affordable housing construction for extremely low-and very low- income households.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
This section of the ConPlan discusses existing housing supply, age and condition of housing, the number of vacant and abandoned units, and the risk posed by lead-based paint.
As discussed in MA-10, 61 percent of the housing stock in the City of San Bernardino is single-family detached. Multiunit structures make up the second highest percentage at 19 percent of housing stock.
As is common in many cities in the nation, most residential development in the City occurred between 1950 and 1979.
The following section describes the conditions of the housing stock in the City. HUD defines housing "conditions" similarly to the definition of housing problems discussed in the Needs Assessment. These conditions are:
1. More than one person per room;
2. Cost burden greater than 30 percent;
Lack of complete plumbing; and
4. Lack of complete kitchen facilities.
Definitions
In the City of San Bernardino, substandard housing conditions may consist of the following: structural hazards, poor construction, inadequate maintenance, faulty wiring, plumbing, fire hazards, and inadequate sanitation. Substandard units suitable for rehabilitation are those units where the total rehabilitation costs do not exceed 25 percent of the after-rehabilitation value.

Most occupied units were built before 1980. Sixty-eight percent of renter-occupied units and 67 percent of owner-occupied units were built prior to 1980. For units built between 1950 and 1979, renters outnumber owners by nearly 25 percent. The disproportionate share of renters that occupy older units could indicate a more urgent need for the rehabilitation of rental units in the City. The high percentage of older units, both owned-occupied and renter-occupied, indicates the potential need for rehabilitation for both.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards
To estimate the number of housing units in the City with lead-based paint (LBP) hazards that are occupied by LMI families, the building age of each unit is evaluated. The use of LBP on residential units was prohibited after 1978, but for the sake of this plan, the number of units built before 1980 will be used to determine how many LMI households are at risk of LBP hazards.
The 2011-2015 ACS data in Table 36 shows that approximately 38,860 units in San Bernardino were built before 1980 and could be at risk of LBP.
Based upon the 2012-2016 CHAS data, approximately 31,062 residential units built prior to 1980 are occupied by LMI families and are at risk of exposure to LBP hazards.
Discussion
The City will continue to develop policies to rehabilitate older and abandoned housing in the City in an effort to fulfill its Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) obligation and provide housing to LMI households.
The City will continue efforts to reduce LBP hazards in housing constructed prior to 1978 and assisted through the Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program by testing for LBP. If LBP is found, safe work practices or abatement procedures will be included in the scope of work for the rehabilitation. All City procedures for the prevention of LBP poisoning when working on residential structures will comply with 24 CFR Part 35.
The City still has several abandoned homes that have been foreclosed, have deteriorated, and have been vandalized. In Ward 1, there is a focus on the City's Single-Family Unit Acquisition and Rehabilitation program, but foreclosed homes citywide are eligible properties. The City has identified providers, including Housing Partners 1, Inc. and Neighborhood Housing Service of the Inland Empire, to rehabilitate, manage, market, and close the sale of foreclosed homes.
The vacant unit table found in this section only includes the number of vacant units and REO units. The City has not completed a recent housing conditions study to determine which units are not suitable for rehabilitation. As properties are rehabilitated using CDBG and HOME funds each is evaluated to determine whether it is suitable for rehabilitation.

Under the FY12 HUD appropriations act, the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program allows public housing agencies (PHAs) to convert their public housing units from their original sources of HUD financing to project-based Section 8 contracts. Similar to the Section 8 Housing Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 73
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Choice Voucher (HCV) program, income eligible tenants pay 30 percent of their income and the project-based rental assistance makes up the difference between what an extremely low-, low-, or very low-income household can afford and the approved rent for the unit. Tenants would have the option of applying to renew the Section 8 contract. As of FY 2020, all public housing units under the HACSB will be converted to project- based vouchers, commonly referred to as Section 8 units. Planned existing project-based voucher properties include:
• Family Community, New Development - 333 units
• Family Community, Existing Development - 434 units
• RAD Conversion, Existing Public Housing Community - 1,003 units • Senior Community, Existing Development - 349 units
• Family & Senior Community, New Development - 11 units • Veterans' Housing, New Development - 37
• Permanent Supportive Housing for Chronically Homeless - 69 • Veterans' Housing, Scattered Sites - 12
In June 2018, the City of San Bernardino received $20 million from the state's Strategic Growth Council through the California Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program. The funding has been prioritized to revitalize the Arrowhead Grove neighborhood, formerly the Waterman Gardens Public Housing site, and the adjacent corridor. The project will include 147 affordable housing units and 36 market-rate units, along with pedestrian and transit improvements that will benefit the community at large. The National Community Renaissance (National CORE), an affordable housing developer, has partnered with the HACSB for the project.
As mentioned above, all units under the HACSB will be converted to project-based vouchers, commonly referred to as Section 8 units. The primary benefit of RAD is that properties that convert under this process are no longer restricted from securing private sources of capital financing, and the owners are therefore able to address deferred maintenance issues that have caused public housing and other HUD rental stock to deteriorate nationwide. HACSB refers to housing projects as Asset Management Projects (AMPs). The initial phase of the RAD conversion included rehabilitation at the following sites:
• 97 scattered site units in AMP 120
• 330 units in AMP 130 (Maplewood Homes)
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 74
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
• 75 units in AMP 150 (Brockton site 19-05)
• 50 units in AMP 160 (Monte Vista site 19-06)
In September 2018, the second phase of the RAD conversion of public housing units closed and rehabilitation work identified under the RAD physical needs assessments commenced. The second phase of the conversion included the following sites:
• 12 scattered site units in AMP 150 (E. 9th Street)
• 125 units in AMP 160 (Colton sites 19-04 & 19-10)
• 217 units in AMP 170 (Barstow sites 19-07, 19-12, 19-13 and Deseret) All public housing units have been converted through RAD and therefor there are no public housing units in the City.

The HACSB has received approval under HUD's RAD program and has converted its entire public housing portfolio. As of FY 2020, all units have been or will be converted to project-based vouchers, commonly referred to as Section 8 units.
Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing:
The HACSB works to facilitate opportunities for families and individuals to become self-sufficient and financially independent so that they can transition from dependency on housing subsidy through the following strategies:
• Develop and maintain policies, programs, and services that foster accountability, responsibility, and economic independence.
• Partner with external organizations to support clients in acquiring life skills, education, and training.
• Strengthening tenants' personal accountability and in transitioning to home ownership/market rentals
In addition to implementing non-MTW activities to address the goal of self-sufficiency, the HACSB has implemented nine MTW activities that address this goal: Local Policies for Portability, Elimination of Earned Income Disallowance, Minimum Rent, Pilot Work Requirement, Local Income Inclusion, implementation of a local Family Self Sufficiency program, Term-Limited Lease Assistance Program, No Child Left Unsheltered, and Transition for Over-Income Families Discussion:
Over 10,700 housing vouchers are currently active countywide, of which there are approximately 2,600 voucher holders in the City of San Bernardino. Approximately 37 percent of the voucher holders have requested accessible units or features. The majority of voucher holders have a tenant-based vouchers.
Currently, there are approximately 31,000 households on the Housing Choice Voucher waiting list for project-based and 23,023 for tenant-based vouchers. There is a need for applicant assistance in the housing program application process as well as finding property owners that will accept vouchers.
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 76
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The Housing Choice Vouchers program is unable to accommodate all low-income households. There is a housing gap of 11,445 units for households earning between 0 to 30 percent AMI as well as a housing gap of 2,750 units for households earning between 30 to 50 percent AMI. Hispanic and Black/African American households are the most prevelent cost burdened populations.
Assisted units sometimes convert to market rate units when affordable housing contracts expire. Many of the City's affordable housing projects that are assisted with project-based Section 8 contracts are considered at risk of converting to market-rate housing due to expiration of subsidy contracts.
Specifically, a total of 15 projects, with a combined total of 1,627 affordable units, are at risk of losing their affordability status.

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the extent those services are use to complement services targeted to homeless persons Many organizations in San Bernardino, including businesses, civic groups, corporations, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, local government, and nonprofit agencies, provide financial assistance, food, health care, clothing, legal assistance, public assistance, rental assistance, and utility assistance at little or no cost. Mainstream benefit programs such as CalFresh, Medicaid/Medi-Cal, Social Security Disability Income (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Veteran's Benefits are available to homeless persons in the City.
Additionally, the Homeless Provider Network (HPN) acts as an advocate for homeless populations and those at risk of becoming homeless. The HPN facilitates the collaboration between the public and private sectors to coordinate services to assist and prevent homelessness. Member organizations of the HPN meet monthly.
List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.
The City works with various agencies and provides referrals for services to homeless populations and those at risk of homelessness:
• Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County - provides homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness with temporary rental assistance, financial literacy education, and linkages to other support services.
• Family Service Association of Redlands - provides emergency shelter (motel vouchers), wraparound services, and case management to prevent homelessness.
• Lutheran Social Services - provides emergency shelter as a "bridge" to permanent housing, and wrap- around services to help homeless men 18 years and older to achieve self-sufficiency. • Step Up on Second - provides supportive services which begin with engagement and street outreach activities.
• The Salvation Army Hospitality House - provides emergency shelter, referrals to permanent housing services, and meals to families and single females experiencing homelessness.
Other agencies in the County providing services to address homelessness include:
• Catholic Charities San Bernardino
• High Desert Homeless Services, Inc.
• Victor Valley Family Resource Center
Time for Change Foundation provides emergency shelter services to women and children as well as permanent housing. Helping Hands Pantry, a food bank, serves the communities of the County of San Bernardino; programs include a mobile food pantry and the College Student Food Assistance Program for students who do not have the resources to buy enough food.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services - 91.210(d) Introduction
There are 39 adult residential facilities in the City of San Bernardino. Such facilities provide safe and secure places for the elderly and persons with disabilities to stay while their primary caretakers work or run errands. In January 2020, there were 60 licensed adult residential facilities in the City with the capacity to accommodate a total of 835 persons.
Residential care facilities for the elderly are family homes, group care facilities, or other similar facilities in which non-medical care is provided 24 hours per day to support daily activities and ensure personal security of the elderly. There are 24 residential elder care facilities in the City that accommodate 505 persons.
Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs
Elderly. Elderly persons may have special housing needs primarily due to income, health care costs, and physical or mental disabilities, particularly those that tend to increase with age. As a result, the elderly may face difficulty in finding housing and may become victims of housing discrimination or fraud.
According to the 2011-2015 ACS, approximately 15,302 persons 62 years and older reside in the City, representing seven percent of the total population. The senior population is growing at a faster pace than the overall population. According to the ACS, between 2010 and 2017, the total number of elderly persons in San Bernardino increased by more than 12 percent while the City's total population increased by only 2.5 percent.
Persons with Disabilities. Persons with disabilities frequently have special housing needs, often related to a potentially limited ability to earn enough income, a lack of accessible and affordable housing, and higher health costs associated with a disability. Persons with self-care and mobility limitations may also require housing design features such as wheelchair ramps, grab bars, special bathroom designs, and/or wider doorway openings.
According to the ACS 2014-2018 5-Year Estimates, 12.5 percent of San Bernardino residents reported a disability, a decrease from the 2009-2013 estimates, which estimated that 13.2 percent of the population had one or more disabilities.
Approximately 16.5 percent of those between the ages of 35 to 64 reported having a disability.
Approximately 38.5 percent of those between the ages of 65 to 74 reported having a disability, which is approximately 8 percent higher than the County level. For those 75 years and older, 60.9 percent of the population reported having a disability, which is approximately 5 percent higher than the County level.
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 80
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
A major challenge facing the City is the availability of housing stock with accessible features that meet the needs of disabled residents and their families. The ACS 2014-2018 5-Year estimates showed that
14.2 percent, or 2,586, residents above the age of 65 were living below the poverty level. Living below the poverty level further limits resources and puts an additional constraint on the already limited housing options available to seniors with a disability.
Community outreach also revealed a need for housing programs with mental health services for people with mental and physical disabilities.
Drugs/Alcohol. The County of San Bernardino provides alcohol and drug services through the Substance Use Disorder and Recovery Services (SUDRS) program. Services are available to all County residents.
Additionally, Supervised Treatment After Release (STAR) is the treatment component of the Mental Health Court System of Care. Individuals are generally referred while incarcerated in the West Valley Detention Center. STAR arranges for:
• Day treatment
• Intensive case management
• Residential placement
• Drug and alcohol treatment
• Periodic court reviews
HIV/AIDS. The National Commission on AIDS states that up to half of all Americans with HIV or AIDS are either homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless because of their illness, lack of income or other resources, and having a weak support network. Persons with HIV/AIDS may also require a broad range of services, including counseling, medical care, in-home care, transportation assistance, and food provision.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
The City has worked with St. Bernadine Hospital to transition homeless individuals who are being discharged from the hospital into transitional housing and ultimately transition into permanent housing.
The City will continue to support the regional Continuum of Care's efforts to implement the San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness. This plan includes a recommendation to focus on discharge planning 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. 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 from being discharged into homelessness. The City has provided ESG funding to Step Up on Second (Step Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 81
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Up) for essential service referrals and housing placement services to homeless and near-homeless persons. Step Up also provides daily street outreach to the most service-resistant homeless population in San Bernardino.
Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e)
Through CDBG, ESG, and other available resources, the City traditionally funds organizations that provide services to residents in need. Such funding support includes ADA accessibility for public spaces and service organizations providing assistance and referrals to low-income persons in need of various supportive services. In 2020-2021 the City intends to fund several affordable housing initiatives including the development of new affordable rental housing (100 units), expand home ownership opportunties to eligible LMI households through its Infill Housing Program (4 new units) and its First Time Home Ownership Program (2 existing units), rental housing rehabilitation (239 units), and through fair housing assistance which will help over 2,000 property owners and tenants citywide. The City prioritizes families whose household income is extremely low and low income income.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment 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.
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.
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 83
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.

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 Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 88
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 Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 89

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.

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 108
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
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.

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 111
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.
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.
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 118
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 Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 120

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).
HOME. The City provides ongoing monitoring and conducts annual inspections in order to ensure compliance with the following requirements for its TBRA program: Units must meet Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and meet lead-based paint standards per the Lead Safe Housing Rule of 24 CFR Part 35, Units must be of an appropriate size for the household based on either local or state codes or a PJ's established standard, Any rent increases by the landlord must be reviewed and approved by the PJ throughout the length of the household's TBRA assistance contract. Staff is required to create an affordable housing monitoring file for each HOME assisted rental property; with the contents of the file generally including a copy of the recorded affordability covenant, a summary coversheet detailing the specific affordability requirements for the property as described within the covenant, annual HOME Income Limit Tables, annual HOME rent schedules, all utility allowance schedules. Program staff shall retain copies of all correspondence related to the property owner.
CDBG. HD Staff performs monitoring visits at Subrecipient locations to determine compliance with federal rules and regulations and in accordance with 2 CFR 200.330 and 2 CFR 200.331. Monitoring visits involve HD Staff members who examine program and financial matters related to the City's CDBG Program. Subrecipients answer a series of questions that are consistent with the CDBG Subrecipient Monitoring Checklist, which includes questions pertaining to the CDBG Program and other federal requirements (See CDBG Monitoring Checklist). Program staff has developed the following monitoring procedures to ensure consistency with HUD's recommended best practices: Send notification letter/e- mail to Subrecipient prior to scheduled monitoring visit, Conduct entrance interview, Complete CDBG Subrecipient Monitoring Checklist, including determination if Subrecipient is subject to Single Audit Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 124

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
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 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.

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.

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 146
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.
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 of San Bernardino recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue that impacts every Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 148
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
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- Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 151
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.
Discussion:
To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 152
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.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
as follows:
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 limits for the San Bernardino Metropolitan/FMR Area provided by HUD.

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.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
A. Program Written Standards
Sub-Recipients are required to comply with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) minimum standards for providing ESG assistance and those standards relevant to ESG that are required by their Continuum of Care (COC). The following minimum program standards are required for delivering the ESG program as outlined in 24 CFR Part 576.
1. Evaluating Eligibility for Assistance
Per the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Sub-Recipients are required to participate and comply with the COC coordinated entry process, also identified by HUD as the Coordinated Entry System (CES). The system identifies, assesses and prioritizes homeless individuals and families for housing and services based on vulnerability and severity of need. CES is designed to:
• Ensure that people experiencing homelessness receive the right housing intervention, and
• Prioritize people who need supportive housing the most to be able to access it as quickly as possible.
Without CES, people experiencing homelessness often face long wait times to receive assistance or are screened out altogether. Some of the most vulnerable people experiencing homelessness do not have the functional ability to check in routinely on wait lists, and to apply at multiple housing sites, necessary under a "first come, first served" process of accessing housing and services, and so are the least likely to be able to access housing without a CES process in place.
Coordinated entry is a community-wide approach that moves a homeless response system from a collection of independent housing and service providers who employ their own referral policies and wait lists, to a comprehensive approach intended to coordinate all housing and service resources. In CES, providers work collectively to match people experiencing homelessness to an appropriate housing placement based on vulnerability and need.
CES simplifies the process by which homeless persons access housing and helps to ensure the right housing intervention is paired with the most appropriate participant. It is a data-driven process that allows communities to provide access to housing resources. to assess each individual or family who enters the homeless response svstem for their vulnerabilities and needs, to assign housing interventions based on client need, and to create a framework of accountability. Sub-Recipients may choose to utilize a different intake and assessment system for victims of domestic violence, veterans or any other special population identified by HUD.
The minimum eligibility process will include an initial phone or in person screening to determine whether or not the applicant meets one of HUD's categorical definitions of homeless or at risk of homelessness. If yes, then a more comprehensive assessment will 2 Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 187
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
be completed in person by Sub-Recipient staff to verify applicants' homeless status and determine which ESG service components they qualify for and that will address their housing need. Eligibility determinations must be documented in client files and preferably through third-party documentation. Intake worker observation or participant self-certification can be used when due diligence by staff and client is documented in the file indicating third-party verification is unavailable.
When working with ESG program income limits, the "Extremely Low Income (ELI) families" limits DO NOT apply to the ESG or COC programs. ESG does not use the ELI measure to establish income limits, but instead uses the 30% of Area Median Income (AMI) income limits. The 30% AMI tables are to be used. HUD released the FY 2019 Income Limits, effective April 24, 2019, which can be found at HUDUSER https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il.html. Click on the Data tab and scroll down to the 5 section labeled "HUD 30% Income Limit for All Areas." Re-evaluations of eligibility for continued receipt of homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing assistance are required-every three (3) months for prevention and annually for rapid re-housing. Minimally, each re-evaluation of eligibility must verify that the client household does not have an annual income that exceeds thirty (30) percent of HUD determined median family income for the service area and the household continues to lack sufficient resources and support networks needed to retain housing without ESG assistance.
2. Targeting and Providing Essential Services Related to Street Outreach Sub-Recipients are required to target unsheltered homeless individuals and/or families whose primary nighttime residence is a public or private place not meant for human habitation, It is recommended that preference be given to the chronically homeless and those special populations who are most vulnerable to being harmed by living in unsafe and unprotected places, i.e. victims of domestic and other forms of violence, youth, families with children, disabled, elderly, etc. HUD's definition of chronically homeless is
1. A "homeless individual with a disability," as defined in the Act, who lives in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter; and has been homeless (as described) continuously for at least 12 months or on at least 4 separate occasions in the last 3 years where the combined occasions must total at least 12 months. Occasions separated by a break of at least seven nights; stays in an institution of fewer than 90 days do not constitute a break.
2. An individual who has been residing in an institutional care facility for a fewer than 90 days and met all of the criteria in paragraph (1) of this definition. before entering that facility; or
3. A family with an adult head of household (or if there is no adult in the family, a minor head of household) who meets all of the criteria in paragraphs (1) or (2) of this definition, including a family whose composition has fluctuated while the head of household has been homeless.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Engagement activities must include an initial assessment of needs and eligibility in order to prioritize the type and source of assistance required with safety and urgent health needs being the highest priority. Emergency health services, including mental health, can be funded with ESG only to the documented extent that other non-ESG funded appropriate health services are inaccessible or unavailable within the service area, or at the time of assessment. Based on need and assessment, qualifying individuals and/or families will be offered essential services beyond emergency health and other crisis intervention assistance that include case management, transportation, and housing stabilization.
3. Emergency Shelter Operations
Sub-Recipients are required to have standardized screening and intake criteria in writing for determining eligibility for admission to emergency shelter. The criteria must be in compliance with Fair Housing Law and cannot force involuntary family separation by denying family admission based on the age of a child less than 18 years.
The admission process requires an initial assessment to determine the homeless status of the applicant based on HUD's four categorical definitions of homeless (24 CFR 576.2) and meeting other Sub-Recipient determined eligibility criteria. The assessment process and tools must meet the service area's COC coordinated entry requirements (24 CFR 576.400(d):
Diversion from Shelter
Based on screening results, individuals and families should be diverted when appropriate to the most stable housing available by using the Housing First or Rapid Re-housing service models.
Essential Services and Referral
Emergency shelter participants must have access to essential services either through direct service delivery by the Sub-Recipient and/or provision of information and referral to other service providers. Essential services include but not limited to: case management; child care; education services, employment assistance and job training; outpatient health services; legal services; life skills training; mental health services; treatment services; transportation; services for special populations and mainstream income and health benefits where appropriate.
Length of Stay and Discharge
Provision of essential services and shelter must be available for homeless individuals and families for at least the time period during which the ESG funds are provided to provide shelter to the client. The tvpical stavs are generally 90 davs for emergency shelter and 30 days for motel vouchers; however, if a client requires a stay longer than generally prescribed the case management notes and must address the reason for the extended stay and an updated housing plan.
Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 189
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Safety and Accommodations for Special Populations
If applicable, any shelter facility that receives ESG assistance for conversion, major rehabilitation, renovation or operations is required to meet all federal, state and local government safety, sanitation and accessibility standards including compliance with the safety, sanitation and privacy requirements contained in 24 CFR 576.403.
Sub-Recipients are required to develop and implement written procedures and communication tools/materials that ensure persons of any particular race, color, religion, sex (gender), national origin, familial status, or disability (mental or physical) who may qualify for shelter and essential services are aware of and have access to such facilities and assistance. Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities must be available in order to ensure disabled participants have an equal opportunity to utilize the shelter and receive essential services. Greater levels of accessibility may be required for some shelters in compliance with The Americans with Disabilities Act.
Domestic violence victims and other persons in need of victim services must have access to a safe setting and have their identity protected. Sub-Recipients are required to implement procedures to ensure confidentiality of records pertaining to any individual who is provided family violence prevention, treatment or other services. Sub- Recipients must also certify that the address of a family/individual violence shelter will not be made public without permission of the shelter agency.
Sub-Recipient emergency shelter policies and procedures must:
• Prohibit disclosing personally identifying victim information to any third party without consent of the victim;
• Ensure victim consent is reasonably time-limited, written and specific as to whom information will be shared;
• Identify and utilize an alternative HMIS to collect program data that will prevent the disclosure of personally identifying victim information; and • Include confidentiality policies and procedures that require staff to refrain from discussing client information in public and ensure client records are secure and only accessible to authorized staff.
4. Assessing Needs for Essential Services Related to Emergency Shelter 24 CFR 576.102
Sub-Recipients are required to have a written standard assessment process and tools) that are applied to all eligible recipients of shelter essential services.
Shelter essential services include: case management; child care; education services; employment assistance and job training; outpatient health services; legal services; life skills training: mental health services; substance abuse treatment services; transportation; and services for special populations. Provision of services should be determined based on client need and in alignment with Sub-Recipient's targeted Provision of essential services and shelter must be available to shelter residents for at 5 Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 190
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
least the time period during which the ESG funds are provided. Services do not need to be limited to a particular site as long as the site serves the same categories and types of homeless originally provided with essential services or serves homeless persons in the same service area where the Sub-Recipient originally provided the services.
Based on the COC's centralized or coordinated assessment system, the client will be assessed and prioritized using the Vulnerability Index - Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) assessment tool to determine an individual or family's need for emergency shelter or other ESG funded assistance.
The County of San Bernardino's COC developed written CES is in accordance with:
• 24 CFR Part 578 Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH Act): COC Program; Interim Final Rule;
• Emergency Solutions Grants Program (24 CFR 576);
• HUD's final rule on defining chronically homeless and homeless (24 CFR 91); • Notice CPD-14-012 on prioritizing persons experiencing chronic homelessness and other vulnerable homeless persons in permanent supportive housing and Recordkeeping Requirements for Documenting Chronic Homeless Status.
Coordinated Entry should achieve several goals:
Make it easier for persons experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis to access the appropriate housing and service interventions; • Prioritize persons with the longest histories of homelessness and the most extensive needs consistent with HUD Notice CPD-14-012 on prioritizing persons experiencing chronic homelessness and other vulnerable homeless persons in permanent supportive housing and Recordkeeping Requirements for Documenting Chronic Homeless Status;
• Lower barriers to entering programs or receiving assistance; and, Ensure that persons receive assistance and are housed as quickly as possible.
An initial intake and assessment will be completed by first entering persons who are homeless into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) which will include administering the VI-SPAT as the assessment tool to assess and prioritize single individuals experiencing homelessness (the family version of the assessment, the F-VI- SPDAT, will be used for families). Prioritization is based on vulnerability across five components: (a) history of housing and homelessness (b) risks (c) socialization and daily functioning (d) wellness - including chronic health conditions, substance usage, mental illness, and trauma and (e) family unit (if applicable).
5. Coordination Among Homeless Assistance Providers, Mainstream Service Providers and Housing Providers
Continuums of Care are community-based homeless assistance program planning networks whose responsibilities include the promotion of access to and effective Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 191
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
utilization of homeless and mainstream programs by the homeless. Sub-Recipients are be active members of their respective COC and contribute to the identification, development and coordination of resources that will promote and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the community's homeless system.
Sub-Recipients must coordinate and integrate, to the extent possible, their ESG- funded assistance with other programs serving homeless and at-risk of homelessness people within their service area (refer to 24 CFR 576.400).
6. Determining and Prioritizing Eligibility for Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Assistance
Determination of eligibility for homeless prevention requires an in-person assessment (in compliance with COC coordinated entry process to verify that applicants meet HUD's categorical definition for imminent risk of homelessness, homeless under other federal statutes, fleeing/attempting to flee domestic violence, or at-risk of homelessness and have an annual income at 30% or below of area median income.
Homeless status and income eligibility must be documented in client files through third-party verification unless written justification is provided showing that due diligence was conducted substantiating that third-party was not available/accessible.
Additionally, the assessment must indicate that prevention assistance would likely allow the applicant to regain stability in their current permanent housing or access other permanent housing and achieve stability.
Prioritization for homeless prevention assistance must comply with COC standards.
Minimally, prioritization should align with vulnerable homeless. and at-risk of homelessness populations identified in Sub-Recipient's service area homeless plans) Determination of eligibility for rapid re-housing requires an initial assessment to verify HUD's categorical definition for literally homeless or
fleeing/attempting to flee domestic violence and are literally homeless. Homeless status must be documented in client files in accordance with HUD documentation standards with preference given to third-party verification where available.
Prioritization for rapid re-housing must comply with COC standards and be supported by Sub-Recipient service area homeless plans and/or community assessment data.
The subrecipient cannot use ESG funds to help a program participant remain in or move into housing that does not meet the minimum habitability standards under §576.403(c).
This restriction applies to all activities under the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re- housing components, including rental assistance and housing relocation and stabilization services. In addition:
If an eligible household needs homelessness prevention assistance to remain in its existing unit, the assistance can only be provided if that unit meets the minimum standards.
• If an eligible household needs homelessness prevention or rapid re-housing assistance to move to a new unit, the assistance can only be provided if the new Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 192
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
unit meets the minimum standards. The unit the household is leaving does not need to be inspected.
• The housing must also comply with any other standards established by the recipient that exceed or add to these minimum standards.
Note: The same standards apply regardless of the amount of ESG funds involved. For example, the subrecipient must inspect the unit and confirm that it meets the ESG minimum habitability standards, even if the only EG assistance being provided is for a security deposit or moving assistance.
The subrecipient must be sure to document compliance with the ESG habitability standards for Emergency Shelter activities in the program participant's file.
Homelessness Prevention - When ESG Rental Assistance and/or Housing Relocation and Stabilization Services are provided under the Homelessness Prevention component to help a program participant remain in or move into permanent housing, the ESG minimum habitability standards apply to either the current unit if the program participant is staying in place) or to a new unit (if the program participant is moving). Even if only a minimal amount of Housing Relocation and Stabilization Services assistance-such utility arrears/payments (Financial Assistance) or housing stability case management (Services) —is provided under the Homelessness Prevention component to assist a program participant to stay in their unit, the habitability standards apply to the unit and must be documented in the program participant's file.
Rapid Re-housing - When ESG Rental Assistance and/or Housing Relocation and Stabilization Services are provided under the Rapid Re-housing component to help a program participant move into a new permanent housing unit, the habitability standards apply to the unit into which they are moving and must be documented in the program participant's file. If Rapid Re-housing services are being provided before a unit has been identified, no habitability inspection is required until there is a unit to inspect. If assistance with arrears for a prior unit is needed as part of the rapid rehousing assistance, no habitability inspection is required for the old unit on which the arrears are owed, so long as the program participant will be rapidly re-housed in a different unit.
7. Determining Client's Share of Rent and Utility Costs A client's household annual income must be less than or equal to 30 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) when determining the client's share of rent. Program Providers are to apply a progressive engagement approach to determine the rent subsidy amount and household contribution for each participating household. The City requires at the 1"t month, the program pays up to 100% of move in costs including security deposits, first month's rent and any required utility payments. In the 2nd - 3d month, the household is responsible to pay 30% of their gross household income towards rent (this includes rent and the cost of utilities [if utilities are not included in the rent, a utility allowance schedule should be used for calculating the rental subsidy]). In the 3'd - 4 month and beyond, the household pays 50% of their gross household income towards rent and the program pays the remaining rent. Once the household is able to pay their rent with 60% or less of their gross household income or reaches 12 months of rental assistance, the rent subsidy should Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 193
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
end. Case managers are expected to work with clients to review family budgets and ensure families can maintain their housing. Utility assistance is limited to 24 months within a 3-year period and can be used to pay the cost of utility deposits, utility arrears, and gas, electric, water and sewage services. Assistance can only be provided if the utility account is in the name of a member of the client household or there is documented proof of household responsibility for utility payments. Utility arrears assistance for homeless prevention requires a shut off notice and for rapid re-housing must result in utilities being turned on at the new permanent housing location (24 CFR 576.400(e) (3)(iii).
8. Determining If Rent is Acceptable For ESG Rental Assistance Whether a household is seeking to maintain its current housing or relocate to another unit to avoid homelessness (Homelessness Prevention), or exiting homelessness into new housing (Rapid Re-Housing), the process for determining acceptable rent amounts is the same:
• The subrecipient first compares the gross rent (see box below) for the current or new unit with current FMR limits, which are updated annually. • If the unit's gross rent is at or below FMR, the subrecipient next uses current data to determine rent reasonableness (more information is provided below on how to determine and document this.
To determine rent reasonableness, take the rent of the three (3) comparable units and If the gross rent is at or below both the FMR and the rent reasonableness standard for a unit of comparable size, type, location, amenities, etc., ESG funds may be used to pay the If the gross rent for the unit exceeds either the rent reasonableness standard or FMR, ESG recipients are prohibited from using ESG funds for any portion of the rent, even if the household is willing and/or able to pay the difference. However, because the FMR and rent reasonableness requirements apply only to rental assistance, ESG funds may be used:
1. to pay for financial assistance and services to help the eligible program participant stay in the unit, or
2. to pay for financial assistance and services to locate and move to a different unit:
that meets the rent reasonableness standard and is at or below FMR and pay rental assistance in that unit.
Rent reasonableness and FMR requirements do not apply when a program participant receives only financial assistance or services under Housing Stabilization and Relocation Services. This includes rental application fees, security deposits, an initial payment of "last month's rent," utility payments/deposits, and/or moving costs, housing search and placement, housing stability case management, landlord-tenant mediation, legal services, and credit repair. (Note: "Last month's rent" may not exceed the rent charged for any other month; security deposits may not exceed 2 months' rent.) See example of how to complete the Rent Reasonableness Checklist and Certification form on Attachment A.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
9. Determining Duration and Amount of Rental Assistance Provided to Client The duration of rental assistance is limited to twenty-four months within a 3-year time period. Short-term assistance can be provided up to three (3) months and medium-term assistance is limited to twenty-four (24) months. The amount of rent assistance provided must be the least amount needed to stabilize clients in their permanent housing. Rent arrears assistance is defined as: past due rent owed to a current landlord (24 CFR 576.400(e)(3)(iii).
10.Determining Type, Amount, and Duration of Housing Stabilization and/or Relocation Services Provided to Client
Type of Housing Stabilization and/or Relocation Services is limited to financial assistance month's rent. A last month's rent must not exceed one month's rent and must be included in calculating the program participant's total rental assistance, which cannot exceed 24 months during any 3-year period. Utility payments are limited to up to 24 months per client, per service, including up to 6 months of arrears, per service. Eligible utility services are gas, electric, water, and sewage. No program participant shall receive more than 24 months of utility assistance within any 3-year period.
ESG funds may be used to pay cost of assessing, arranging, coordinating, and monitoring the delivery of individualized services to facilitate housing stability for a program participant who resides in permanent housing or to assist a program participant in overcoming immediate barriers to obtaining housing. This assistance cannot exceed 30 days during the period the program participant is seeking permanent housing and 24 months during the period the program participant is living in permanent housing.
Mediation services are allowable, provided that the mediation is necessary to prevent the program participant from losing the permanent housing in which the client currently resides. Legal services must be necessary to resolve a legal problem that prohibits the client from obtaining permanent housing or will likely result in the client losing the permanent housing in which they currently reside. Credit repair does not include the payment or modification of a debt.
Financial assistance cannot be provided to a client who is receiving the same type of assistance through other public sources or to a client who has been provided with replacement housing payments under the URA, during the period of time covered by the URA payments.
Except for housing stability case management, the total period for which any client may receive assistance must not exceed 24 months during any 3-year period. The limits on the assistance apply to the total assistance an individual receives, either as an individual or as part of a family.

B. HMIS Data Collection
All data on persons served and all activities funded with ESG must be entered into HMIS. The purpose of HMIS is to record and store client-level information about the numbers, characteristics, and needs of homeless and at risk homelessness persons who receive program assistance.
which provide aggregate information and data consistent with HMIS data collection requirements. Projects serving survivors of domestic violence where the recipient is not a victim services provider are required to enter data in their HMIS.
Data entry requirements for shelters are:
Emergency or transitional shelters, day or mass shelters, or hotel/motel vouchers are required to collect data and report outcomes using the Entry/Exit method of data collection.
Shelters which meet the three criteria below may be set up in HMIS to use the Night-by- Night method of tracking shelter use:
• The shelter serves a large number of clients on a nightly basis; • Clients are permitted to spend nights at the shelter on an irregular basis; and • There is a high degree of client turnover.
Night-by-Night (NBN) shelters, which use a bed-night tracking method, will have a project start date for the night the client first stayed and will allow clients to re enter as necessary without "exiting and restarting" for each stay for a specified period. Data collection involves recording, in HMIS, contacts with each person served. A contact is defined as the date of an interaction between a worker and a client designed to engage the client. All client contact must be recorded. Engagements must also be recorded. An engagement is an interaction which results in a formalized assessment or discussion. The date of engagement should be entered into HMIS at the point when the client has been engaged by the shelter worker.
With the NBN method:
• All data required to be collected, is collected at project entry; and • The duration of each stay can be accurately aggregated to calculate each client's total length of stay in the project.
Regardless of the method used to track shelter use, Sub-Recipients must be able to determine who and how many people were served by a shelter or shelter type for any given night, based on HMIS data.

RENT REASONABLENESS CHECKLIST AND CERTIFICATION
The subrecipient must document in the client file using the attached worksheet that the rental cost (including the utility allowance) is within the Fair Market Rent limits, and the unit is rent reasonable before financial assistance can be provided to a program participant.
Subrecipient must print and maintain supporting documentation showing where the rents for the comparable units came from. This must be maintained with the completed rent reasonableness form.
The subrecipient must obtain the most recent HUD Fair Market Rent limit from the City for the area that the housing unit is located.
Rent reasonableness is determined on a case-by-case basis. Agencies must conduct a rent analysis for three (3) comparable unassisted units and document the basis for their rent reasonableness determinations. Key components of a comparability analysis include: If the rent for the proposed unit is at or below the allowable (average) rent, the proposed unit is eligible. If the rent for the proposed unit is above the allowable (average) rent, the proposed unit is not eligible, and therefore, another unit will need to be proposed. Subrecipient must print and maintain supporting documentation showing where the rents for the comparable units came from. This must be maintained with the completed rent reasonableness form.
• Size: Only units of comparable size (both in terms of number of bedrooms and square footage) should be used.
• Housing Condition: Only units in similar condition should be compared. • Location in Community/Accessibility: In many markets location is the key determinant of housing price (i.e., good/safe neighborhood, close to schools/bus routes, etc.). • Rent of Unit: Amount of rent being charged by owner.
• Utilities Included: Consider the type and fuel source of utilities. Subrecipient must use the attached Housing Authority County of San Bernardino Utility Allowance sheet. • Amenities: Consider such amenities as garage, appliances and lot size. Comparable rents can be checked by using a market study, by reviewing comparable units advertised for rent, or with a note from the property owner verifying the comparability of charged rents to other units owned (for example, the landlord would document the rents paid in other units).

Fair Market Rent Calculation Methodology
Show/Hide Methodology Narrative
Fair Market Rents for metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan FMR areas are developed as follows:
2013-2017 5-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates of 2-bedroom adjusted standard quality gross rents calculated for each FMR area are used as the new basis for FY2020 provided the estimate is statistically reliable. For FV2020, the test for reliability is whether the margin of error for the estimate is less than 50% of the estimate itself and whether the ACS estimate is based on at least 100 survey cases. HUD does not receive the exact number of survey cases, but rather a categorical variable known as the count indicator indicating a range indicator of 4 or higher.
if an area does not have a reliable 2013-2017 5-year, HUD checks whether the area has had at least minimally reliable estimate in any of the past 3 years, or estimates that meet the 50% margin of error test described above. If so, the FY2020 base rent is the average of the inflated ACS estimates. 15 Consolidated Plan SAN BERNARDINO 200
