City Manager's Comments
Staff is proposing the 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant, HOME investment Partnership and Emergency Solutions Grant Programs.

Executive Summary
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solution Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds annually to the City based on a formula calculation to help develop viable urban communities improve the lives of low- to moderate-income residents. Funds are also used to create economic opportunities, provide assistance to homeless individuals and families, and develop affordable housing. Per HUD regulations, the City seeks to conduct a second Public Hearing to approve and adopt the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership, and Emergency Solutions Grant Programs inclusive of all incorporated changes resulting from the public hearing process held on May 6, 2026.

Background
The City of San Bernardino (City) is entitled to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funds are made available to provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. Each year, the City prepares an Annual Action Plan (AAP), which describes how the City will spend its federal CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds that it expects to receive from HUD.

The Fiscal Year 2026-27 (FY2026-27) AAP is intended to recognize and accept the new FY 2026-27 HUD allocation of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding and allocate these funds to activities that will address the strategies and objectives identified in the City’s 2025-29 HUD Consolidated Plan that was approved by the City Council on May 15, 2025.

On May 6, 2026, the City conducted an initial public hearing to obtain citizens’ comments on the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership, and Emergency Solutions Grant Programs. The City Council directed staff to allocate available Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding designated for Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements toward the installation of prefabricated restroom units, with Perris Hill Park and Wildwood Park identified as priority locations for potential implementation.

Packet Page. 23
Discussion
To receive federal funding from HUD, the City must submit an AAP that identifies the proposed activities that will be used to address the priority needs and specific goals identified in the City’s 2025-2029 (Five-Year) Consolidated Plan.

For FY 2026-27, the City has been allocated $2,746,734 in CDBG funds, $1,161,844.19 in HOME funds, and $238,382 in ESG funds. Subject to federal regulations, CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding may be used to support a range of eligible activities, including homeowner assistance, emergency shelter and homelessness prevention, housing preservation and development, economic development initiatives, capital improvements, public services, fair housing activities, and program administration.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The allocation for the CDBG FY 2026-27 program year is approximately $2,746,734, of which $549,346.00 is allowed for program administration. The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate-income.

During the application period for CDBG, the city received 11 applications from the community. Staff reviewed the submissions and recommended awarding funding to the San Bernardino Police Department, Neighborhood Housing Services of the Inland Empire, Family Service Association, and the Inland Fair Housing Mediation Board for their respective programs. A full list of applicants can be found in Attachment 3.

Projects Amount
Cedar House Life Change Center $24,692.40
The FY 2026–27 Annual Action Plan includes the reallocation of $24,692.40 in prioryear unspent CDBG funds resulting from Cedar House Life Change Center’s withdrawal from the CDBG program.

Of the projects listed in Table 1, above, Administration costs consist of expenses related to the overall management and oversight of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. These costs include activities such as program planning, budgeting, reporting to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), monitoring for regulatory compliance, financial management, and coordination of funded projects. Administrative costs also cover staff time and support services necessary to ensure the program is properly implemented in accordance with federal requirements. This includes activities such as preparing and submitting required reports to HUD, maintaining financial and program records, conducting environmental reviews, ensuring compliance with labor standards and fair housing regulations, coordinating citizen participation processes, and responding to monitoring or audit requests. It may also include legal, accounting, and procurement support, as well as staff oversight of subrecipients and contractors to ensure all CDBG-funded activities meet applicable federal guidelines.

The Section 108 repayment activity is an ongoing CDBG obligation for a 17.43-acre commercial property located on Highland Avenue between Arden Street and Guthrie Street. The City is moving forward with the sale of the property to a developer who will build a multi-tenant commercial shopping center.

Packet Page. 25
The City funds the Inland Fair Housing Mediation Board (IFHMB) to provide Fair Housing and Landlord/Tenant mediation services. In FY 2025-2026, IFHMB provided fair housing services to over 1,200 persons with landlord/tenant mediation services.

Public service provided by the San Bernardino Police Department includes outreach and service delivery initiatives focused on assisting the unhoused population in the City of San Bernardino. This program focuses on those experiencing homelessness, those at risk of becoming homeless, and individuals facing challenges to housing stability. Its goal is to enhance access to services for the unhoused community by expanding outreach efforts and ensuring that individuals receive the necessary support and referrals.

The public facility project includes improvements at Perris Hill Park through the installation of prefabricated, ADA-compliant restroom facilities and accessible paths of travel as required. Housing and Homeless Services staff met with Parks and Recreation and Public Works staff to evaluate project feasibility and identify the most suitable location for the allocation of these funds. Based on the assessment and feedback received, Perris Hill Park was determined to be the preferred project site due to the demonstrated need for additional restroom facilities at the park.

Selection of the Perris Hill Park location also provides administrative efficiencies, as the proposed restroom improvements are located within the same park, allowing for more streamlined project management, implementation, and oversight. In addition, a third restroom facility at Perris Hill Park is planned for improvement through non-CDBG funding sources. Concentrating these investments at a single location will result in a more comprehensive enhancement of restroom infrastructure and improve accessibility and service levels for park users.

These improvements are intended to expand access to clean, safe, and accessible public restrooms amenities within City parks. The park improvement is anticipated to enhance public accessibility, park usage, community health and safety and overall quality of life for residents.

HOME Grant
The allocation for HOME for FY2026-27 is $1,161,844.19 with $116,184.00 allowed for program administration. The objectives of the program are:
• To strengthen the ability of state and local governments to design and implement strategies for achieving adequate supplies of decent, affordable housing.
• To provide assistance to participating jurisdictions for the development of affordable housing.
• To strengthen partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector.

1. Introduction
This Annual Action Plan covers the 2026-2027 fiscal year for the City of San Bernardino’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan outlines how the City will use its HUD formula grant funds throughout the year to address priority housing and community development needs identified throughout that planning process. The Consolidated Plan identified the following priority needs through data collection, community outreach, and analysis that will serve to govern the trajectory of HUD funding for the next five years:
• Preserving and rehabilitating housing
• Development and Preservation of Affordable Housing and Expanded Housing Types • Increase in Affordable Housing Options
• Provide Homeless Prevention Services
• Infrastructure Improvements
• Strategic Resource Planning and Community Resilience

The City receives funds through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program. HUD funding is used to directly aid the community in specific ways, depending on the program. The City annually receives CDBG entitlement program funds in the amount of $2,746,734, which provides formula funding to address community development needs. A minimum of 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:

The City annually receives ESG Program funds in the estimated amount of $238,382, which provides formula grant funding 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.

Summary of some of the findings used to determine priority need:

Preserving and rehabilitating housing
The City of San Bernardino has a relatively old housing stock, with about 65% of occupied housing units built before 1980. In general, housing begins to require major repairs after 30 or 40 years of age.

Those repairs could include important health and safety repairs such as for heating/air systems, roof, kitchen appliances, bathroom or kitchen plumbing, and insulation. Many low- to moderate-income households may be unable to afford these needed repairs. Community engagement efforts also identified a need for housing rehabilitation. Furthermore, engagement through the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Program (OORP) has identified many residential homes requiring more than $20,000.00 in repairs to address code deficiencies and improve living conditions for low-income households.

Development and Preservation of Affordable Housing and Expanded Housing Types The City has a significant mismatch between housing supply and affordability. There is an affordable housing supply gap of 80% for renter households earning between 0 and 30% AMI and a 22% gap for households earning between 30 and 50% AMI. Additionally, 16,875 low-income renter households are paying more than 30 percent of their income toward housing costs Increase in Affordable Housing Options
The City’s housing market has changed over the last ten years. In 2015, the median home value in the City was $159,800 and increased to $272,600 (71 percent) by 2020. Meanwhile, median income has increased by 33 percent to $49,287. While wages have increased, they have not increased enough to match the pace of housing purchase costs. Median contract rent, on the other hand, has increased by 19 percent, from $813 to $970.

4 Provide Homeless Prevention Services
The latest 2025 PIT count revealed 3,837 homeless adults and children, 2,636 of whom are unsheltered. This was almost a 10% decrease from the previous year’s 4,255 homeless individuals, 3,055 of which were unsheltered. Discussions with the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership identified that homeless individuals require services to alleviate or prevent homelessness.

Infrastructure Improvements
Community engagement efforts found that the top needs for Public Improvements are street/alley/sidewalk, street lighting, traffic calming for safety, tree planting and urban greenery, parks, safe routes to school, graffiti removal, and water/sewage improvements.

Strategic Resource Planning and Community Resilience
Enhancing the ability to protect lives and property, reduce long-term operating costs for low to moderate-income persons, improve long-term economic stability, and community well-being was found to be a need during community engagement of the Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments.

Fair housing
Discrimination based on housing was mentioned repeatedly in the community needs survey as a barrier to equal access and fair housing.

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

Actions and implementation below are taken from FY 2024-25 CAPER.

Fair Housing: The City funded the Inland Fair Housing Mediation Board (IFHMB) using CDBG funds to help residents with landlord-tenant issues, provide education about housing rights, and help with eviction issues, security deposits, and foreclosure concerns. 2,161 people received assistance, of which almost all were low to moderate-income residents.

Public Facilities and Infrastructure: The City completed sidewalk improvements in several neighborhoods, on 10th Street, 49th Street, and the Rialto Avenue corridor. These areas serve about 275,790 residents, over 60% are low to moderate-income.

Packet Page. 35
5 Economic Development: The City funded programs that help small businesses start and grow. Activities consisted of workshops and training for business owners, microenterprise assistance, and implementation of the Section 108 Loan Repayment Program. These activities helped at least 25 entrepreneurs, 8 businesses directly, and created and retained 17 jobs.

Homeless and Homeless Prevention Services: The City funded programs and partnerships to assist people experiencing homelessness, activities included outreach through the quality-of-life team, emergency shelter, housing stability programs, and homelessness prevention financial assistance. Results included 132 people assisted through outreach, 60 people assisted through emergency shelter, and 31 people assisted through homelessness prevention.

9 AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
The City coordinates and collaborates with public agencies, housing providers, and service organizations to identify specific needs or certain vulnerable populations. The Annual Action Plan provides an opportunity to engage the community in the CDBG, HOME, and ESG investment process. The City encourages its residents to voice their needs and concerns regarding homelessness, affordable housing, and community development. All members of the public, especially those living in low- and moderateincome neighborhoods, are encouraged to participate in the planning stages. The goal of the consultation process was to gather data to determine and confirm the community's priority needs.

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(l))
Partnerships are the community's strongest suit; the City works with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) and the County Community Development and Housing Agency to better serve its residents. These organizations coordinated to redevelop 251 units of public housing at the former Waterman Gardens public housing project (now known as the Arrowhead Grove neighborhood). The City is also partnering with National CORE, an Inland Empire Community Development Organization (CDHO), to create more affordable housing opportunities.

The City partners with Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services (NPHS), a designated CHDO, in two ways:

1. The administration of the Owner-Occupied Single-Family Rehabilitation Program.

2. The construction of new owner-occupied single-family housing on vacant and blighted lots throughout the city, to increase homeownership among households at and below 80 percent of the Area Median Income. This initiative is part of the City’s infill program.

The City coordinates with the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) and its Office of Homeless Services (OHS) to support residents experiencing both homelessness and behavioral health crises. This collaboration includes the ongoing exchange of information, referral pathways, and access to specialized resources that address the intersection of homelessness, mental health, and substance use needs. Through this partnership, the City ensures that residents in crisis are connected to appropriate services, including outreach, case management, treatment programs, and housing navigation support.

10 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.

The City recognizes the urgent need to address people experiencing homelessness, with particular attention to chronically homeless individuals and families, veterans, unaccompanied youth, and families with children. The City actively collaborates with key stakeholders and countywide entities to strengthen its homeless response system. During Fiscal Year 2026-27, the City will be awarding Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds to qualified subrecipients to deliver services that address both immediate and longterm housing needs. As part of its ESG program implementation, the City coordinates efforts with the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care (CoC) and four core entities:

1. Interagency Council on Homelessness – a regional policy-making body overseeing homeless services.

2. Homeless Provider Network – a coalition of service providers and housing agencies.

3. Central Valley Steering Committee – a collaborative committee focused on coordinated local responses.

4. San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, Office of Homeless Services – the administrative body that supports and manages homeless services throughout the county.

The City remains an active participant in the Continuum of Care (CoC) and fully supports the strategic goals outlined in the San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness. In addition, the City’s Police Department engages in Point-in-Time (PIT) Count activities, and the Community Development and Housing Department requires ESG subrecipients to utilize the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to track service delivery and outcomes for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City diligently works with the Continuum of Care (CoC) and attends its regularly scheduled meetings and trainings regarding the issue of homelessness. The City consults with the Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH), which has no less than one former homeless member, who gives input on funding recommendations. The discussions at the ICH meetings include updates on HMIS, and a monthly data quality report is provided, illustrating the number of clients enrolled in the non-profit organizations using HMIS. The updates help evaluate the outcomes of projects and activities assisted with ESG. Other topics of discussion include presentations to the Office of Homeless Services on activities from the San Packet Page. 41
11 Bernardino County Reentry Collaborative regarding workshop meetings to discuss updating their strategic plan, and a Community Recidivism Reduction Program. A Veterans Initiative from the HACSB has continued to develop creative and effective ways to addressthe needs of the County’s homeless veterans.

Over the past year, HASCB, along with the support and efforts of our affiliate nonprofits, KEYS and HP1 Inc., has created housing opportunities for homeless veterans. There are Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Special Purpose Vouchers available.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City has identified many surplus vacant residential sites downtown. The City plans to collaborate with nonprofits to sell these sites for deed-restricted affordable housing. Most of these vacant lands are zoned for multi-family use or can be upzoned for higher density. All moderate and lower-income sites are infilled, meaning they have access to water, sewer, and dry infrastructure, with priority given for affordable housing connections. Sites for above-moderate income are spread across the southern, central, and northern areas of the district. Infill projects in the works are Shadin Hills, Village Greene, and Montebello.

These projects are in various stages of development. The City also has about 30 acres of surplus land that it plans to dedicate to affordable housing. The City is taking steps to partner with various developers and non-profits to utilize the land and begin development in the near future. The City intends to invite affordable housing developers to participate in an innovative workshop to discuss best practices and offer insight on how the City can effectively collaborate on future projects, specifically with the underutilized. vacant properties or parcels.

The City will maintain funding for its Infill Housing Program and the Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program (OORP). Through the City’s Infill Housing Program, the City intends to purchase, renovate, and develop vacant and/or underused land parcels into housing accessible to low- and moderate-income families. The Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program will offer funding for the renovation of single-family homes owned by low- and moderate-income families.

For instance, for a “meals on wheels” program for seniors and persons with disabilities, use 05Z. If this program had only been available to seniors, the correct matrix code would have been 05A.

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City established priority needs, including Preserve and Rehabilitate Housing, Development and Preservation of Affordable Housing, Provide Homeless Prevention Housing, Community Development, Support Fair Housing, etc. These needs were established city-wide rather than in any centralized areas.

Therefore, the City ensures that federal funding aligns with these priority needs and investments are allocated geographically accurately. Furthermore, CDBG funds will be utilized in predominantly lowincome neighborhoods where residents have the greatest need for housing services. Projects are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering emergency needs, cost effectiveness, environmental needs, feasibility, and availability of other funding to address specific needs.

Discussion
The City will allocate its funds to organizations that will provide housing and support services to lowincome households. The process for every annual action plan requires the City to prioritize the use of its CDBG funding for housing and community development activities, including the preservation and conservation of affordable housing, public improvements, and public facilities.

AP-55 Affordable Housing - 91.220(g)
Introduction
The City of San Bernardino, like many Cities in California, needs more affordable housing. According to the California Housing Partnership, the San Bernardino County Housing Need Report 2025, 60,659 lowincome renter households in San Bernardino County do not have access to an affordable home. Through community outreach and data gathering for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and the Analysis of Impediments to fair housing choice, the City has identified priority needs directly correlated to affordable housing. These include:

Development and Preservation of Affordable Housing and Expanded Housing Types Description: New affordable rental housing (new construction, adaptive reuse, or rehabilitation) in a variety of types, and new affordable rental housing with supportive services for homeless individuals and veterans.

Basis for Priority: There is a significant mismatch between housing supply and affordability within the City.

There is an affordable housing supply gap of 80 percent for renter households earning between 0 and 30 percent of the AMI, and a 22 percent gap for households earning between 30 and 50 percent of the AMI.

Additionally, 16,875 low-income renter households are paying more than 30 percent of their income toward housing costs.

Increase Affordable Housing Options
Description: Increase affordable housing options through homeownership or rentals and open up new possibilities to affordable housing.

Basis for Priority: The most prevalent housing problems within the City are cost burden and overcrowding.

San Bernardino has a population of 220,328 persons and a total of 62,486 households. Nearly 61 percent of households in San Bernardino City (36,310 total) qualify as low- to moderate-income, earning up to 80 percent of HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI).

The city will continue to partner with the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB), the public housing authority (PHA) for the county, which issues rental vouchers to bridge the gap between income, affordability, and market-rate housing. The two forms of vouchers provided to aid tenants throughout the city are tenant-based and project-based vouchers issued to residents in San Bernardino City.

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 the affordable housing needs of low- and moderate-income families, senior citizens, disabled individuals, and other individuals. The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) serves the city.

HACSB has one public housing site, a single-family unit in Apple Valley. 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). HACSB converted a 98-unit public housing site in Upland into a project-based voucher site. There are no public housing units in the City.

As of 2025, the City currently has 3,804 affordable units receiving public subsidies, with 707 at risk of expiring. 38 percent of these units are limited to senior residents.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The City is facilitating and encouraging the development and rehabilitation of existing housing to meet the needs for Extremely Low -Income housing. Projects from groups such as National Core— which is currently replacing the 400-unit Waterman Gardens public housing project with new affordable housing and supportive services on-site—are providing much-needed housing options for extremely low-income residents. Organizations like NHPS, Mary Erickson, and many other nonprofit and for-profit organizations are building infill housing that is affordable to lower-income households.

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. To develop or preserve the City’s affordable housing 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 will continue its partnership with NPHS to build affordable single-family housing on infill parcels. The goal is to make homeownership more accessible. Presently, four manufactured housing units are approved for construction. NPHS deed restricts these units as affordable to lower-income households through long-term affordability covenants.

The City collaborates with the HACSB to encourage public housing residents to utilize City housing services and area homeownership programs, particularly residents of public housing. HACSB administers the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program for the City. Public housing residents would be assisted with Packet Page. 77

HCVs upon availability and if needed.

The City welcomes affordable housing partnerships.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
HACSB has not been designated as troubled. HACSB was designated a Moving To Work Agency by Congress in 2008. This is a limited designation to PHAs across the country.

Discussion
The City of San Bernardino will continue to work collaboratively alongside HACSB to provide supportive services and address the housing needs of the community.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.220(i) Introduction
The issue of homelessness is a top priority for the City of San Bernardino, as reflected by the 2023 Homelessness State of Emergency Declaration by City Council and the subsequent 2024 reaffirmation.

Each year, the County of San Bernardino conducts a Homeless Count, the Point-In-Time Count (PITC) to identify persons who are not living in adequate housing facilities, led by the Continuum of Care (CoC). The latest 2025 PIT count revealed 3,837 homeless adults and children, 2,636 of which are unsheltered. This was almost a 10% decrease from the previous year’s 4,255 homeless individuals, 3,055 of which were unsheltered. A comparison of the last two counts reveals that:
• 418 less persons were counted in 2025, which represents a decrease of 9.8%; • Only one more individual was counted as sheltered in 2025, increasing the count from 1,200 to 1,201; and
• On the other hand, the unsheltered count decreased by approximately 14% from 3,055 to 2,636.

While the County’s homeless count saw a small decrease, the same trend was not found in the City of San Bernardino, specifically:
• 554 Sheltered persons, a 26% increase from 2024’s 440 Sheltered count • 981 Unsheltered persons, a .4% increase from 2024’s 977 Unsheltered count • Total of 1,535, an 8% increase from 2024’s Total of 1,417 For FY 2024-2025, the City successfully used ESG funds to provide shelter to 60 homeless individuals.

Furthermore, 31 individuals who were at risk of homelessness were assisted through housing stabilization and including housing stabilization and short-to-medium-term rental assistance through Homeless Prevention Services. There is a gap between the outcome and the projected one-year goal because of the rising cost of operation. During the program year, the City expended 97% of its ESG funds to meet the housing needs of the 91 homeless and at-risk-of-homelessness population.

The City of San Bernardino is currently drafting a Five-Year Homeless Solutions Action Plan to address the unique needs of the community and coordinate strategies for effective responses. The plan is centered on three guiding principles:

1. Supportive Pathways to Housing

2. Prioritizing Long-Term Solutions

3. Alignment with National Best Practices
The City is also expanding its Housing and Homeless Division to meet the growing needs of the Packet Page. 79

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
A top priority for the City of San Bernardino continues to be able to provide sufficient homeless prevention services and resources. The City will maintain its support of the CoC’s coordinated entry system, 2- 1-1 San Bernardino County. Through this system, individuals and families who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless (HUD Homeless definition (Category 2)) receive problem-solving support aimed at helping them retain their current housing or secure alternate housing as quickly as possible.

In addition to supporting regional efforts, the City is planning to leverage the upcoming Deep Blue pilot software, a program that allows for cross-agency collaboration and real-time data sharing to create data dashboards and reports that will inform strategic responses to homelessness. The City also invests in local outreach programs that engage unsheltered residents, connecting them to emergency services and helping them navigate pathways to housing stability. These outreach efforts play a critical role in linking individuals to shelter, case management, behavioral health services, and long‑term housing solutions.

The City’s ongoing priorities include:
- Increase emergency shelter, interim housing, and affordable housing units - Increase homeless prevention services
- Support mental health and substance use services
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City has made great strides in its pursuit to adaptively reuse a vacant property for the conversion of the former School of Hope campus. Formerly a special education school, the site is being rehabilitated and reimagined into a homeless navigation facility to provide low-barrier, non-congregate, interim housing and supportive services for homeless individuals and households at risk of becoming homeless.

The Hope campus, set to open in late 2026 or early 2027, will include 180 housing units, an administrative building, a laundry facility, and a cafeteria/assembly area. In total, the project will provide approximately 17,380 sqft. of residential housing, 2,900 sqft. of shared spaces and communal areas, a dog kennel, and 15,200 sqft. of surface parking consisting of 34 parking spaces.

Hope Campus will contain 180 non-congregate transitional housing units with beds that include storage space underneath, s, bathrooms with a sink, toilet, and shower, fire sprinklers, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. These 180 units can accommodate up to 200 unsheltered individuals.

Sixteen units will be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible, ensuring units are easily accessible for residents with disabilities. Additionally, the facilities will include a cafeteria with a fully equipped Packet Page. 80

commercial kitchen able to serve 120 residents per meal. The cafeteria will also serve as an assembly area and include movable dividers to divide the cafeteria into four smaller areas for activities. The campus will have free Wi-Fi access and outdoor spaces for all occupants.

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 continues to actively participate in the County of San Bernardino CoC and attend meetings to discuss the establishment of performance measures that benefit the broader goals of the region. Some of the tasks recently undertaken by the City include assisting with the 2025 Point-In-Time-Count conducted by the County of San Bernardino. The City recognizes that homelessness is a regional issue that impacts not only San Bernardino but also neighboring communities. As the largest community in the County, the City also serves as a hub for service providers and supports the efforts of the network of agencies working to end homelessness through the Regional Continuum of Care Strategy. Part of the Continuum of Care Strategy is a key component of 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 works to prevent persons from becoming homeless by funding emergency rental assistance for households at risk of homelessness through the Homeless Prevention program, supported by ARPA and ESG funds.

Each year, the City funds organizations through the ESG programs that provide emergency shelter, homeless prevention services, street outreach, rapid rehousing, and HMIS, such as the Salvation Army and Family Services of Redlands.

The City is breaking ground in 2026 on the San Bernardino HOPE Campus, a full-service homeless navigation center and shelter that features needed services as part of its operation, located on 6th Street.

This navigation center will provide case management, mental health and substance abuse services, job placement, and more. Furthermore, the San Bernardino Community Wellness Campus (SBCWC), a noncongregate interim housing facility that completed construction in December 2025, will be focused on providing supportive services to provide long-term solutions to end homelessness, including permanent housing and independent living. Individualized case plans will be provided for at least 95% of residents within 72 hours of entry. (see Discussion below). As part of the City’s Five-Year Homeless Solutions Action Plan goal, the City aims to, within the next year, add 100 new interim/emergency beds and see a 5% Packet Page. 81

reduction in the average length of stay in interim housing.

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 of San Bernardino is committed to reducing the number of individuals and families who become homeless by strengthening prevention efforts, expanding access to supportive services, and improving coordination across systems of care. Creating clear referral pathways from emergency shelters and rapid rehousing to permanent supportive housing is a top priority for the City. In 2026, San Bernardino will continue to enhance its partnerships with service providers, the Continuum of Care, and regional agencies to ensure that individuals receiving services are able to maintain self-sufficiency after services are terminated. This includes supporting outreach teams that engage unsheltered residents, connect them to emergency shelter, and link them with case management, behavioral health services, and long‑term housing resources. Through these coordinated efforts, the City aims to reduce the amount of time individuals experience homelessness and increase the number of residents who successfully transition into stable, permanent housing. Part of the City’s continued support of the regional CoC’s efforts includes implementing the San Bernardino County 10-Year Strategy for Ending Homelessness. This plan includes a recommendation to focus on discharge planning to prevent people discharged from correctional, foster care, health care, or mental health care systems from becoming homeless again. The McKinney-Vento Act requires that 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 immediately discharged 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 to implement a “zero tolerance” plan that will prevent persons from being discharged into homelessness.

Discussion
Homeless Solutions Action Plan (HSAP)
The City of San Bernardino is currently finalizing a Five-Year Homeless Solutions Action Plan to establish a coordinated, strategic framework for reducing homelessness and improving housing stability across the community. The plan is designed to align local efforts with regional Continuum of Care priorities, leverage state and federal funding opportunities, and create a clear roadmap for implementing Packet Page. 82

evidence‑based interventions.

The Homeless Solutions Action Plan (HSAP) identifies key system gaps, evaluates current service capacity, and outlines targeted strategies to expand outreach, shelter, interim housing, permanent supportive housing, and prevention programs. It also emphasizes cross‑departmental collaboration, data‑driven decision making, and partnerships with local stakeholders such as nonprofit providers, faith‑based organizations, and behavioral health agencies.

The City recognizes the importance of addressing the root causes of homelessness, such as economic instability, lack of affordable housing, untreated mental health conditions, and substance use disorders, while simultaneously improving the capacity to respond to immediate needs and focusing on supportive, long-term solutions. HSAP outlines measurable outcomes and performance indicators to track progress over the five‑year period, ensuring accountability and transparency in the implementation process. FY 2026-2027 serves as the first year in this Five-Year plan.

HOPE Campus
Designed to address the root causes of homelessness, the HOPE Campus will offer approximately 200 beds and provide a safe, supportive environment for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

The facility will connect residents to a comprehensive range of services, including medical respite care, mental health and substance use disorder counseling, individualized case management, job training and placement, and expanded pathways to permanent housing. In addition to serving those currently experiencing homelessness, the HOPE Campus will support individuals at risk of losing their housing by hosting onsite partner agencies that can provide rental and utility assistance to eligible households.

Through this integrated service model, the HOPE Campus will strengthen the City’s capacity to stabilize vulnerable residents and promote long‑term housing security.

Homekey - San Bernardino with Lutheran Social Services of Southern California (LSSSC) The City has embarked on a State of California Homekey Project to establish the San Bernardino Community Wellness Campus - a non-congregate interim housing facility comprising 210 beds, in collaboration with Lutheran Social Services of Southern California (LSSSC). This initiative aims to address the pressing need for such a campus, and the unique needs of the City, especially considering that the number of homeless men in the City surpasses that of homeless women by a ratio of two to one. The current Central City Lutheran Mission has been transformed into a supportive campus that will provide an onsite medical clinic and comprehensive, onsite social services to address social, physical, educational, educational, social, physical, physical, and mental health needs that will be available to campus residents and the larger community. 140 beds have been added to the existing 70 beds, making up 210 in total. At least 95% of residents will receive individualized case plans within 72 hours of entry, ensuring that Packet Page. 83

individual needs are met and long-term solutions are provided to prevent re-entry.

Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino (Legal Aid) Tenant Protection Program The City of San Bernardino will continue its partnership with the Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino to operate a two‑year Tenant Protection Program dedicated exclusively to serving City residents at no cost.

Through this program, Legal Aid will provide direct legal representation and education on tenant rights, with the goal of preventing displacement and reducing the risk of homelessness among low‑income households. The program will focus on helping tenants navigate issues such as unlawful evictions, habitability concerns, and other housing‑related legal challenges, ensuring that vulnerable residents have the support necessary to maintain stable housing.

Homeless Outreach
The City of San Bernardino will continue its partnership with Hope the Mission, a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing homelessness through direct engagement and supportive services. Together, the City and Hope the Mission will provide consistent, five‑day‑a‑week outreach aimed at connecting individuals and families experiencing homelessness with immediate assistance and pathways to stability.

The outreach team, comprised of trained emergency crisis workers, will respond to emerging needs in the community by offering on‑the‑spot support, including case management, motel vouchers, basic necessities, medical coordination, and transportation. In addition to addressing urgent crises, the team will facilitate access to longer‑term resources such as emergency and transitional shelters, rehabilitation programs, and family reunification services. This coordinated approach ensures that individuals experiencing homelessness receive comprehensive, person‑centered care, while prioritizing housing opportunities for San Bernardino residents and strengthening the City’s broader homelessness response system.

Affordable Housing Workshop
The City of San Bernardino is committed to preserving and developing new affordable housing projects to meet the growing needs of the community. Underutilized and surplus parcels across the City are being identified and assessed for the potential use of supportive housing developments. The City also intends to, within the next year, invite affordable housing developers to participate in an innovative workshop to discuss best practices and offer insight on how the City can effectively collaborate on future projects.

AP-75 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.220(j) Introduction
The City has recognized that barriers to affordable housing exist and employs strategies that work to overcome those barriers. Barriers exist that are land-related, programmatic, accessibility, and financial.

The City has collaborated with major community stakeholders to address barriers to affordable housing.

This section gives an overview of actions the City is planning to take to address barriers to affordable housing.

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 has made the following additional amendments to the Municipal Code 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 committed 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 the 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, Packet Page. 85

which requires less staff time (and a relatively shorter process for developers), lower fees, and can be used instead of a CUP for certain qualified projects.

5. The City will update its General Plan. San Bernardino 2050 has prioritized housing. Homepage - Future San Bernardino 2050 (futuresb2050.com)
Discussion:

The City is currently finalizing a Five-Year Homeless Solutions Action Plan to establish a coordinated, strategic framework for reducing homelessness and improving housing stability across the community.

The plan is designed to align local efforts with regional Continuum of Care priorities, leverage state, and federal funding opportunities, and create a clear roadmap for implementing evidence‑based interventions.

For FY 2026-2027, the City will continue to fund its Infill Housing Program and the Owner-Occupied Residential Rehabilitation Program (OORP). Housing Programs - City of San Bernardino (sbcity.org) 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 OwnerOccupied Residential Rehabilitation Program will provide deferred loans for the rehabilitation of singlefamily units owned by low and moderate-income households.

The City will hold an affordable housing workshop to garner developer and stakeholder buy in for vacant parcels around the City the goal is to foster a partnership to collaboratively build affordability in a way that everyone benefits, this can look vastly different for every scenario. Having those table top conversations is particularly important for housing affordability growth.

1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows:

1. The City of San Bernardino does not intend to use forms of investment other than those described in 24 CFR §92.205(b). All HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds will Packet Page. 89
Annual Action Plan
2026
59 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
be used in eligible forms including grants, deferred payment loans, interest-bearing loans, and other HUD-approved forms of assistance that comply with HOME regulations.

In addition to HOME-specific investments, the City leverages other resources—such as CDBG, ESG, ARPA, and State funds—to complement federal housing and community development activities.

These additional investments may be used for site acquisition, Invest in Community Infrastructure and Facility Improvements, or supportive services that enhance housing affordability and sustainability but do not deviate from HUD's defined eligible investment types under §92.205.

If new or alternative investment mechanisms are considered during the Plan period, the City will ensure full compliance with HUD regulations and will submit the necessary amendments and approvals.

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 circumstances, 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 the 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. For example, if the Buyer sells or transfers the Eligible Property during the third year, before the completion of the full third year of ten years of Affordability, the Packet Page. 90
Annual Action Plan
2026
60 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 conduct 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.

3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:

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

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

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

The City will not be refinancing existing debt secured by multifamily housing rehabilitated with HOME funds. The City will not refinish single-family units rehabilitated with HOME funds. With regard to eligible beneficiaries, the City will adhere to the requirements under 24 CFR 2.203 in relation to income determinations; 92.216 with respect to incomes of applicants; 92.253 with regard to tenant protections and selection and other HOME regulatory requirements that ensure beneficiaries are not Packet Page. 91
Annual Action Plan
2026
61 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
precluded from participating in HOME funded programs. The City utilizes Notice of Funding Availability and Requests for Proposals to solicit applications for funding under the HOME program.

Applications are solicited as funds are available for various programs and/or when contracts and renewal periods with applicants expire and new NOFAs and RPS are released.

5. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of the preference for persons with special needs or disabilities. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(i) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)).

If implemented, the City intends to establish a preference for persons with special needs and disabilities, in alignment with 24 CFR §92.209(c)(2)(i). This may include individuals with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities, those at risk of institutionalization, and persons with substance use or behavioral health needs. The City will consult with local partners, such as the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, the Office of Homeless Services, and disability advocacy organizations, to structure the program to ensure legal compliance, and service integration. All preferences will be clearly defined and documented in written TBRA policies and procedures and will be implemented in a non-discriminatory manner consistent with federal fair housing laws.

6. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific category of individuals with disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and 91.220(l)(2)(vii)).

If such a program is established, the City may adopt a targeted preference for specific categories of individuals with disabilities, particularly those who experience significant service gaps—such as persons with chronic mental illness, HIV/AIDS, or co-occurring disorders. These populations are often overrepresented in the homeless system and underrepresented in stable housing placements, despite frequent engagement with public systems of care. For example, individuals with chronic mental illness may cycle through shelters, hospitals, and correctional institutions due to a lack of supportive housing options. Similarly, people living with HIV/AIDS may face both housing discrimination and limited access to long-term rental assistance.

A targeted TBRA preference would narrow the gap in housing benefits by:
• Providing stable rental assistance to individuals who are often ineligible for other longterm subsidies. • Coordinating with service providers (e.g., Department of Behavioral Health, local HIV/AIDS networks) to ensure access to wraparound supports. • Preventing institutionalization and promoting independent living in community-based settings.

Any such preference will be carefully structured, with data and stakeholder input used to Packet Page. 92
Annual Action Plan
2026
62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
demonstrate both the need and legal defensibility. The City will ensure all preferences are administered in compliance with fair housing requirements, including a clear showing that the preference is necessary to address a documented disparity in housing access or services.

7. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 CFR

92.253(d)(3) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). Note: Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that limits the opportunities of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR 5.105(a).

At this time, the City of San Bernardino does not impose any limitations or preferences in its HOMEassisted rental housing projects that would restrict participation. The City will continue to monitor projects for compliance with applicable fair housing laws and HUD’s HOME regulations.

Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)

1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) Please refer to the attachment included.

2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.

The City of San Bernardino is an active participant in the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care (CoC), which has established a centralized Coordinated Entry System (CES) in accordance with HUD requirements. The CES is managed by the San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services (OHS) and serves as the primary tool for connecting individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness to appropriate housing and supportive services.

The CES is designed to:
• Provide standardized assessment tools and procedures (e.g., VI-SPDAT) to evaluate the needs and vulnerabilities of people experiencing homelessness; • Prioritize clients for housing and services based on vulnerability, length of homelessness, and severity of service needs;
• Ensure fair and equal access to housing resources, including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and transitional housing;
• Use the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to facilitate case coordination, referrals, and outcome tracking;
• Integrate referrals from a broad range of access points, including emergency shelters, outreach teams, hospitals, and law enforcement.

Packet Page. 93
Annual Action Plan
2026
63 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The CES is accessible through multiple physical and virtual entry points across the County, including partners such as The Salvation Army, Family Service Association of Redlands, Lutheran Social Services, and HOPE Navigation Centers, among others. All ESG subrecipients funded by the City of San Bernardino are required to participate in the CES and coordinate service delivery and housing placements through the system. This coordinated assessment approach enables a system-wide response to homelessness that improves client outcomes, reduces duplication of services, and ensures the most vulnerable populations are prioritized for limited housing resources.

3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).

The City of San Bernardino administers its ESG program in alignment with HUD regulations and ensures that funding is equitably accessible to eligible private nonprofit organizations, including community-based and faith-based organizations. Each program year, the City issues a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) or Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit applications from qualified service providers. The process includes:

1. Public Notification: The City publicly posts the NOFA/RFP on its website and distributes it via email to a wide network of service providers, including those within the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care (CoC). Outreach is inclusive of faith-based and grassroots community organizations.

2. Eligibility and Threshold Review: All proposals are reviewed to ensure applicants meet HUD eligibility criteria for ESG funding and possess the administrative capacity to implement programs in compliance with 24 CFR Part 576.

3. Application Evaluation - Proposals are evaluated based on: Experience in serving homeless or atrisk populations; Performance outcomes and past compliance history; Program design, including alignment with the CoC’s priorities and CES participation; Cost-effectiveness and leveraging of additional resources.

4. Funding Recommendations: A City review—often including representatives from the Housing and Homelessness Division and outside advisors—scores and ranks proposals.

4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.

The City of San Bernardino attends and participates, on a quarterly basis, the Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH). The ICH is a vital component of the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership.

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

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

As the oversight board of the CoC, the ICH's duties are:

1. To ensure that the CoC is meeting all of the responsibilities assigned to it by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations, including:
a. The operation and oversight of the local CoC; b. Designation and operation of a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS);
i. Designate a single HMIS for the geographic area;
ii. Designate an eligible applicant to manage the CoC’s HMIS, known as the HMIS Lead; iii. Ensure consistent participation of recipients and sub-recipients of CoC and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding in the HMIS.
iv. Ensure the HMIS is administered in compliance with all requirements prescribed by HUD.

c. Developing a CoC plan that includes outreach, engagement, assessment, annual gap analysis of the homeless needs and services available, prevention strategies, shelter and housing supportive services, and HUD CoC annual and biennial requirements;

2. To represent the relevant organizations and projects serving homeless subpopulations;

3. To support homeless persons moving from homelessness to economic stability and affordable permanent housing within a supportive community;

4. To be inclusive of all the needs of all of the geographic area’s homeless population, including the special service and housing needs of homeless sub-populations;

5. To facilitate responses to issues and concerns affecting the agencies funded by the CoC beyond those addressed in the annual CoC application process;

6. To consult with recipients and sub-recipients of CoC funding to establish performance targets appropriate for population and program type, monitor recipient and sub-recipient performance, evaluate outcomes, and take action against poor performers; and

7. To evaluate outcomes of projects funded under the County of San Bernardino CoC program, including the ESG.

5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.

ESG Subrecipients must demonstrate fiscal management and programmatic expertise to successfully develop, design, implement, and monitor the ESG-funded activities. ESG Subrecipients must participate in HMIS and be able to meet all federal, State of California, and City of San Bernardino requirements relative to the ESG program, specifically those concerning equal opportunity and fair housing, affirmative marketing, environmental review, displacement, relocation, acquisition, labor, lead-based paint, conflict of interest, debarment and suspension, and flood insurance.

Under the City ESG agreement, ESG Subrecipients are required to conduct an initial evaluation to determine the eligibility of each individual or family for ESG assistance and the amount and types of assistance the individual or family needs to regain stability in permanent housing.

All subrecipient providers should meet or exceed project quality goals established by HUD and CoC guidelines which include the following: At least 80 percent of project participants either remained in permanent housing or exited to permanent housing; At least 20 percent or more of project participants have employment income (or other sources such as SSI and/or SSDI, for those who are not employable); At least 54 percent of project participants increased their income from sources other than employment in a given operating year; At least 56 percent of project participants obtained mainstream benefits; and 100 percent of the project participants came from the street or other Packet Page. 96

3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under this section and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment. 5) The contractor will comply with all of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
6) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law. 8) The contractor will include the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

In the event City receives notice at any time from HUD or any other applicable federal or state agency that repayment of all or any portion of the Grant Funds is required, the City may terminate this Agreement for convenience, in whole or in part, by giving written notice to the SUBRECIPIENT of such termination, and specifying the effective date thereof (“Notice of Termination”). If the termination is for the convenience of the City, the City shall – subject at all times to Article VIII, and consistent with all applicable law – provide disbursements of the Subaward then due and payable, including any disbursements for Services performed, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, prior to the Notice of Termination for which SUBRECIPIENT has submitted reimbursement requests (properly supported by documentation requested by the City) prior to the effective date of termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the date provided in such Notice of Termination, which shall be no less than ninety (90) days after the date of such Notice of Termination.
