CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a) The City of San Bernardino (City) is a direct recipient of Community Planning and Development formula grants (e.g., Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership, and Emergency Solutions Grant). As an Entitlement City, the City is required to provide a report to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on its performance in meeting the housing and community development priorities listed in its approved Five-Year Consolidated Plan. This report is called the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) and is due to HUD 90 days from the end of each program year. This CAPER outlines the City’s actual accomplishments for the fourth program year period of the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan, of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024. It also describes the City’s progress in meeting the goals and objectives outlined in the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
FY 2020-2025CDBG-CV FUNDING:
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) was signed into law. CDBG grantees undertook new programs with supplemental CDBG Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (CDBG-CV) funding to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). The City maintained its focus on the goals and objectives already outlined in its Consolidated Plan, but with an additional emphasis on responding to, and preventing, the spread of the virus. However, due to the rapid spread of the virus and constraints on logistics and materials, the bulk of those projects stagnated. During the PY 2023-2024, Public Facilities projects, including Street Improvements and a new outdoor eating area at a community center, were completed—leading to safer communal spaces for our Low/Mod and elderly populations, as well as preparing the community to be more resilient and sustainable in case of future outbreaks of similar scale and scope, should they occur.

activities, including the preservation and conservation of affordable housing and activities that serve low- and moderate-income households. Over the term of the 2020 - 2024 Consolidated Plan period, the City faced challenges in meeting goals and objectives due to a variety of factors, including a global pandemic, materials shortages and cost increases, staff turnover associated with the pandemic and its aftermath." In future years, the City believes its focus on staffing and community resilience will better position the City to reach and implement goals and their attendant projects and activities. Nevertheless, despite these obstacles, the City was able to achieve the following:
•Assisted 1,281 low-income residents with investigation, education, reconciliation, and/or referral of housing discrimination complaints free of charge through the Inland Fair Housing Mediation Board (IFHMB). IFHMB offers workshops to educate housing providers, tenants, homeowners, and financial and lending institutions on fair housing laws. •Worked with Asociacion de Emprendedor@s (AdE), to promote and host small business/entrepreneur workshops in which 18 San Bernardino small businesses were assisted. The AdE team worked diligently even after the workshops and continued assistance with program graduates to assist them in obtaining all necessary essentials to either grow or establish their small business. Those essentials included business plans, account set ups, promotional guidance and more. •The City also collaborated with Neighborhood Housing Services of the Inland Empire (NHISE) to provide different educational forums on the topics of homeownership and financial literacy. Through their program, NHISE successfully reached a total of 12 City residents in FY 2023-24 and an additional 68 City residents in FY 2024-25 as they continued working even after the end of their agreement.
The City is leveraging Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds alongside State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) to rehabilitate and improve Nicholson Park. Planned improvements include the rehabilitation of the existing ballfield and concessions building, renovation of the restrooms to meet ADA standards, rehabilitation of the parking lot, and the construction of new walkways and landscaping. •Citywide Pavement rehabilitation for 3 locations consisting of grinding, overlay, and concrete improvements at 10th Street between F Street and H Street, 49th Street between Sierra Way and San Bernardino, and Rialto Avenue between Mt. Vernon and the bridge. The project was completed on April 19, 2024.

Aside from street improvements, CDBG funded various community programs that related to fair housing/landlord-tenant assistance, micro-enterprise assistance, and homeownership education. As staff count is increasing, the City plans to allocate and spend more funds on housing compliance training and implementation. The majority of ESG funds were spent on Emergency Shelter, Homeless prevention, and Rapid Rehousing activities .

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.
In FY 2023-2024, the City was 100% exempt from its HOME match liability. The City actively attends the Interagency Council on Homelessness meetings as well as the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership Central Valley Homeless Partnership Network and applies for additional funding when available. The City leveraged ESG ARPA and HOME-ARP for homeless shelter and prevention services including:
•HOME-ARP: $4.2M for the development of the Navigation Center •ARPA: $150,000 mobile shower
•ARPA: $16,500,000 - $12,500,000 for Navigation Center Development, $4,500,000 Additionally, the City leveraged CDBG for the Nicholson Park Improvement project:
ARPA: $8,850,000 Nicholson Park Improvement The City of San Bernardino has effectively leveraged state Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds to address homelessness in the community. These funds have been utilized to support an Emergency Shelter program, providing immediate relief and essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness. Additionally, the City has allocated PLHA funds towards future operations of the San Bernardino Homeless Outreach Prevention and Education Campus (SB HOPE Campus), a city-owned facility designed to offer comprehensive support services, including housing assistance, outreach programs, and educational resources. This dual approach ensures immediate and long-term solutions to homelessness, enhancing the City's ability to serve its residents effectively.

Narrative Information
The City is addressing worst-case housing needs through its ESG and HOME programs to provide new affordable rental units. Arrowhead Grove, a replacement of older public housing units, is a 400-unit multi- family rental unit complex being built in several phases. Two phases of the project have been constructed and include 147 affordable units open to a mix of low-income families all under 80% AMI.
The City in Program Year 2023-2024 worked diligently to create low-barrier solutions to their homeless problem. The City determined a new multi-faceted shelter was needed that can assist over 2,000 homeless individuals annually as well as provide non-congregate accessible emergency housing for 224 homeless individuals. The proposed shelter, initially known as Navigation Center, now HOPE Campus will connect people to resources, medical respite, mental health, substance disorder counseling, individualized case management, job training and placement and expanded access to permanent housing.
It will also assist individuals who are at risk of becoming homeless as local agencies will be onsite to provide rental assistance and utility assistance to eligible households.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:
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 and get housing placement.
The City's Homeless Street Outreach Team continues to provide daily mobile outreach to the most service- resistant homeless population in San Bernardino. San Bernardino County Point-In-Time Count (PIT) data have indicated a need to support programs that serve people experiencing homelessness. The 2023 PITs count for the City is 1,502 which increased as compared to year 2022 by 11 percent.
Dedicated Homeless Outreach Team
The City has partnered with Hope the Mission, a non-profit agency, that provides dedicated street outreach services. The City’s Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) works with multiple city departments to engage and assist the unhoused community. HOT also works with the County’s Coordinated Entry System (CES) to prioritize individuals for emergency shelter, housing options, motel vouchers, mental health, and other essential services. Because emergency shelter is not always readily available, homeless outreach workers provide motel vouchers when available. Based on the 2024 Point In Time County (PITC), the City has 1,417 homeless individuals, of which 977 are unsheltered. This accounts for 32% of the County’s unsheltered population putting the City at a 6% decrease. A decrease has not been shown in over a decade.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons To reach out to homeless persons and assess their individual needs, the City supports the CoC’s coordinated entry system, 2-1-1 San Bernardino County. The Coordinated Entry System provided people who were at imminent risk of becoming homeless (HUD Homeless definition Category 2) with problem solving support to retain current housing and or to locate permanent housing.
During the FY 2023-24-year, the City’s ESG program supported six projects across three primary component types. The Emergency Shelter component was the most extensive, with four projects serving CAPER 16
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
a total of 481 individuals from 340 households. Additionally, one Rapid Re-Housing project assisted 17 individuals from 7 households, while a single Homelessness Prevention project aided 25 individuals from 6 households. Notably, no Street Outreach or Day Shelter projects were reported for this period.
ESG funds were allocated among various organizations, with the following expenditures reported:
Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County fully expended its allocation of $60,000; Family Service Association of Redlands spent $54,544 out of an allocated $70,455, leaving $15,911 unspent, accounting for 77% of their budget; Lutheran Social Services of Southern California fully utilized its $114,834 allocation; and Salvation Army expended its full allocation of $123,829.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after 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); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The City of San Bernardino funds various non-profit organizations that address the needs of low-income residents that are at risk of becoming homeless. The City of San Bernardino recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue that impacts every community. 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 decreased the number of households and individuals who would have 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.
The City is beginning Phase 1 of its Homeless Outreach Prevention Education Campus (HOPE Campus) to provide Emergency Shelter. This temporary emergency shelter will provide emergency shelter for the City’s homeless while construction of the campus is underway. HOPE Campus will feature non-congregate shelter units, laundry facilities, kitchen facilities, secure storage for personal items, and supportive services. The project is the recipient of HOME ARP funds.
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

Because emergency shelter is not always readily available, homeless outreach workers provide motel vouchers when available.
City Sponsored Mobile Shower Program
The City has expanded mobile shower services to help destigmatize homelessness, address public health and safety concerns, and give unhoused individuals a sense of hope and renewed self-esteem. The City has contracted with Community Action Partnership (CAP) to expand mobile shower services in the City by operating a 28-foot- long mobile shower trailer equipped with three (3) full-service restrooms (shower, sink and toilet) and an ADA compliant restroom. The trailer also has an adjacent laundry area that contains two (2) washers and two (2) dryers allowing unhoused residents the ability to wash their clothing. CAP visits six (6) locations throughout the City, where the unhoused community frequents twice a week and services are free.
Expanding and Enhancing Shelter Capacity
All of the City’s shelters are operating at or near full capacity and most include multiple barriers to access (i.e. fathers are separated from their families, pets are not welcomed, those with sobriety issues are turned away, etc.) The City is working with local leaders and community-based organizations to prioritize homeless initiatives through engagement, redirection, and stabilization.
The City is on the front-end of developing two navigation centers, each providing onsite supportive services and a medical component that will include support from local community organizations.
SB Community Wellness Center-Project Homekey Partnership with Lutheran Social Services and Dignity Moves
The City was awarded $34.9million from the State to construct a 140-bed, non-congregate, interim housing facility called the San Bernardino Community Wellness Campus to better assist he city’s most marginalized population-chronically homeless men. In the City, homeless men outnumber homeless women two to one. The campus will assist men who have been incarcerated, those who are HIV positive, male veterans and unsheltered men in general. An array of onsite supportive services will be provided, and the campus will have a Federally Qualified Healthcare Center (FQHC) that provides comprehensive medical services. The project completion date is August 2024.
CAPER 18
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
SB HOPE Campus-Navigation Center (City owned facility)-Pending Homekey Award The City is in the development stage of a 200-bed, low barrier, non-congregate navigation center for homeless men and women. Each living unit will provide a sense of privacy, safety, and dignity. Some units will contain private restrooms, and pets are welcomed. The facility is slated to provide onsite supportive services that will include case management, housing navigation, substance use disorder counseling, behavioral health, recuperative care, job training/placement and help with documentation readiness. SB HOPE Campus will act as a centralized HUB that connects people to resources, medical respite, and expanded access to permanent housing. Although the City is hoping to obtain a 2nd Homekey award for this project, the City can and will layer different funding sources to complete the project. Anticipated completion date is July 2025.
Interim Motel Voucher Program
On December 6, 2023, the Mayor and City Council voted to approve a Motel Voucher Program, which will provide interim shelter to men, women and families during the construction of the City’s navigation centers. Recently, the City opted to pause the program to remove motels located outside city limits and instead only enter into Agreements with local motel owners. The new Agreements go before Council for approval on March 6, 2024. Once approved City will have access to 131 motel rooms (single and double bed occupancy) and 201 beds. The City’s Homeless Outreach Team will work in collaboration with other City departments during encampment clean-ups to perform assessments and offer resources and motel vouchers. This act will allow the City to perform public health and safety measures that benefit the entire community while offering services to displaced individuals.
Securing Funding for Impactful Solutions
To address the multifaceted issue of homelessness, the City of San Bernardino leverages a variety of funding sources. These include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program (HHAP), Homekey Funds, and pending Encampment Resolution Funding (EFR). These diverse funding streams empower us to implement a comprehensive strategy aimed at preventing and alleviating homelessness in our community.
As noted above, the City provides ESG funds to two shelters:
•Lutheran Social Services Southern California (LSSSC) providing emergency shelter for men. •Salvation Army to provide emergency shelter focusing on women and women with children at their San Bernardino Hospitality House.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City has a significant inventory of publicly assisted rental housing affordable to low-income households. Eighteen affordable rental housing developments in the City offer rental assistance to 1,406 income/rent-restricted housing, a total of 2,264 very low-income households.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The City does not own any public housing units and has not undertaken efforts to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in the management of public housing units. The City collaborates with the HACSB to encourage public housing residents to contribute and participate in the management, and HACSB has a homeownership program for residents of public housing. In FY 21-22, the City utilized HOME program income for Arrowhead Grove, formerly known as Waterman Gardens Public Housing Community, for phase 2 of the multi-phase Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) project. Phase two entails the building of 147 affordable units for mixed-income family apartments to households with 30% to 60% of AMI. This continues to be an ongoing project for the City.
The City also works with Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board and Neighborhood Partnerships Housing Services, Inc. to provide First Time Homebuyer workshops to educate potential borrowers in the complete process of purchasing a home. These agencies also provide other services such as Default/Foreclosure Prevention and Reverse Mortgage counseling services; and financial education workshops that help homeowners preserve their housing.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) accepts applications for Section 8 Project- Based housing for families and senior households. Each year HUD reviews and scores the housing authority’s Section 8 program management based on 14 different criteria. This score is a reflection of how well the Housing Authority manages the Section 8 waiting list, the physical quality of housing assisted with Section 8 and the financial management of the program. As a “Moving to Work Demonstration” provider, HACSB is not subject to the traditional Public Housing Authority (PHA) and Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) scoring; however, HACSB is a “High Performer” agency per HUD standards.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken 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. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) To address housing affordability and the lack of monetary resources for affordable housing, the Consolidated Plan calls for the investment of CDBG and/or HOME funds to preserve and rehabilitate housing units and provide homeownership opportunities to low and moderate-income households.
For FY 2024-2025, the City plans to fund its Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program (OORP). Under the supervision of increasing staff, 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, it leveraged its CDBG and HOME funds to attract private and other available public resources, including land conveyed to the City to create affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households.
The City is also working to create public awareness of fair housing law and affordable housing advocacy agencies. The City contracted with the Inland Fair Housing Mediation Board (IFMB) to provide free services to LMI individuals throughout the city. IFHMB program services include fair housing services, landlord/tenant mediation services, education on housing rights and responsibilities, housing counseling, and alternative dispute resolution.
The City of San Bernardino Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element was sent to HCD on August 4, 2023, for review. On October 2, 2023, the City received HCD’s 1st comment letter. In response to the comment letter dated October 2, 2023, from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the City made revisions to the Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element and resubmitted to HCD on November 21, 2023. The Housing Element identifies current fair housing issues. Section 5 identifies the fair housing issues and includes the ways and means by which the City intends to overcome fair housing issues.
Development Code Amendments
The City has also undertaken 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 Citys development regulations and processes. That effort was followed by a reorganization by 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: General Lot Consolidation Incentive - Small, individual CAPER 21
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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. 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. 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.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 will update its General Plan.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) To address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, the City will allocate CDBG, uncommitted HOME, and ESG funds through the Action plan in projects that provide financing for affordable housing development, housing rehabilitation, job creation, public facility/infrastructure improvements, and homeless prevention. Lack of resources is the primary obstacle to meeting underserved needs. To leverage additional ongoing resources for housing and homeless services, the City will utilize Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds which are administered by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. In 2021 the City received approximately $1.6 million in PLHA funds and expects to receive approximately $7.8 million over the next four years.
The City supports HACSB’s efforts to obtain additional rental assistance funding, especially for seniors and lower-income households.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) An estimated 17,809 housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income households in San Bernardino may contain lead-based paint; this constitutes approximately 27% of the City's housing stock. To reduce possible lead-based paint hazards, the City has taken the following actions:
•Included lead testing and abatement procedures in all rehabilitation activities, where appropriate. •Monitored the lead-poisoning data maintained by the San Bernardino County Department of Health Services.
•Educated owner occupants, participating in City funded rehab programs on the health hazards of lead-based paint through the use of brochures and encouraged screening children for elevated blood-lead levels.
•Sent housing staff to the Lead Safe Housing Rule Amendment Training. Sent subrecipient/CHDO staff to the Lead Safe Housing Rule Amendment Training.
CAPER 22
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) There are a variety of agencies, local governments, non-profit organizations, businesses and financial institutions that play a vital role in carrying out San Bernardino’s housing and community development goals and objectives. The relationships and interaction of these entities as they work toward achieving these goals and objectives is referred to as institutional structure. As the lead for the City's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City’s Community and Economic Development Department analyzes its performance in addressing the community’s housing and community development needs and develops strategies to improve its institutional structure.
The City has revised its policies and procedures for CDBG, OORP, and ESG. The City has an organizational chart for its Community and Economic Development Department and Housing Division functions. If and when the opportunity arises, City staff will attend trainings such as HEROS, HOME, IDIS, CDBG, and Lead Based Paint. In conjunction with other City departments, such as Public Works, Parks, Recreation and Community Services, staff will continue to identify the community's greatest needs and allocate resources accordingly. Staff will continue to work with for-profit and non-profit developers and lenders to facilitate the improvement, preservation, and/or creation of affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate income households within the City.
CAPER 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

This will allow to coordinate the City's activities by not duplicating efforts and to know what other agencies are doing. Currently, the City is working with the Center for Community Investment and Dignity Health (Accelerating investments for Healthy Communities). The City's collaboration with CCI and Dignity Health has resulted in the investment of $1.2 million in permanently affordable rental housing in the City. These types of collaborations build the capacity for the City to continue providing affordable housing.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)

As the lead for the City's Consolidated Plan, the Community and Economic Development Department is continually improving its standards and procedures to monitor the performance and effectiveness of housing and community development activities. The Community and Economic Development Department is responsible to monitor all housing projects and federal compliance of housing and non-housing projects funded with CDBG, CDBG-CV, HOME, ESG, and ESG-CV. CV funding will require several additional monitoring steps that include activity connection to COVID, recipient duplication of benefits and length of time of assistance, procurement of services, certified income intake verification, strict invoice and receipt and payroll review standards. It undertakes two types of monitoring: program monitoring (which includes the Minority Business Outreach efforts) and Consolidated Plan monitoring. Both types of monitoring ensure the success of Consolidated Plan projects and activities.
CR 40 Other text
Minority Business Outreach: As an Entitlement recipient of CDBG, HOME and ESG funds, the City of San Bernardino is required to provide business opportunities to minority and women-owned businesses in connection with the activities funded through the CDBG, HOME, and ESG grant. To comply with these requirements, the City participated in outreach events for disadvantaged business enterprises, posted its bid documents on the City's website and other e-Procurement websites where potential bidders may obtain these requests for bids through the internet. The City also encourages MBE-WBE firms to compete for CDBG, HOME and ESG construction contacts.
