STAFF REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Finance Director
FOR MEETING: Apr 14 2026
SUBJECT: Deferred Compensation Plan and OBRA Plan Update.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council:

1. Approve the consolidation of the City's deferred compensation plans into one.

2. Adopt the Deferred Compensation Plan and OBRA Part-Time Plan with Empower.

3. Authorize and direct the City's Plan Administrator to execute all the required documents to move forward with the new Plan with Empower.

Council Discussion

Discussion of Motion

BACKGROUND:

On May 13, 2025, City Council approved the service agreement with SageView Advisory Group to provide retirement plan investment advisory services for the City's 457(b) Deferred Compensation Program. In accordance with the service agreement, SageView Advisory Group conducted a Request for Information (RFI) to assist the City in finding and selecting an enhanced deferred compensation program (henceforth 457(b) Plan). As you may recall, the City currently has three plan providers: CalPERS/Voya, Nationwide, and Valic (now Corebridge Financial).

As part of the (RFI) process, SageView Advisory Group representatives conducted an extensive review of proposals from the current recordkeepers and several other firms that provide services for government plan sponsors. The objective was to reduce overall costs for the City’s plan participants and improve the investment fund options available under the plan. The results of the RFI revealed that Empower is the best recordkeeper option available for the City. Empower does not only offer a wide selection of investment options with below average costs, but it also offers lower recordkeeping and plan administration fees compared to some of the current providers. Based on this information, the Plans' Administrator, who is the City's HR Manager, and the Finance Director concur with SageView Advisory Group's recommendation to consolidate the three existing plans into one with Empower.

Page 15 of 312 ends

The City will now work with Empower as its sole provider for the City’s 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan and the OBRA Part-Time Plan. For those participants with balances with Nationwide or CalPERS/Voya, the assets will be transferred to the new account with Empower once the plan goes live. The employees who currently work with Corebridge will have the option to individually transfer their accumulated balances to the new Empower account.

This will apply to active employees, current employees who are not actively participating but have accumulated balances, and those former employees who also have balances.

With the new plan, there will be a significant reduction in recordkeeping costs from the current weighted average of 90 basis points (0.90%) to approximately 9 basis points (0.09%) under the new plan. This represents a plan’s savings of almost $30,000 or approximately $750 per plan participant. The average cost of the investment options will now be approximately 45 basis points (0.45%) down from the current weighted average of 110 basis points (1.10%). This represents additional savings to the plan of $26,000. For those employees who allocate their contributions to the stable value/fixed option with their current recordkeeper, the new crediting rate for the 457(b) plan will be 3.25%.

On March 3, 2026, in partnership with SageView Advisory Group, LLC, the City held an employee workshop at City Hall to discuss the proposed changes. Additional information and updates will be provided to plan participants in the upcoming months.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Goal D: Access to Resources
Objective: Ensure that the City of Twentynine Palms Staff and residents have adequate resources to support daily needs and long-term wellbeing.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A
ALTERNATIVES:

N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact to the City for the consolidation of its 457(b) Plans. The savings mentioned above will be realized by the plan participants. The City's Fiduciary duties and obligations in administering its 457(b) plans fall under California Law. One of those obligations states that the Plan Administrator must engage in a prudent process for making all decisions related to the operation of the plan, including decisions related to the plan's investments and services. The proposed enhancements to the existing Plans fulfill this obligation.

BACKGROUND:

During an inspection conducted by the Public Works Parks Maintenance Department on January 14, 2026, Staff identified significant and hazardous damages to existing playground equipment at various locations. The most significant and high-risk deficiencies were identified at the Luckie Park and Knott's Sky Park.

The replacements needed at Luckie Park include two slides (one single and one 5' side-by-side slide with canopy), a handrail, a bubble panel, and stepping pods. Due to their significant wear and tear, some of the parts are no longer compliant with playground safety standards and are no longer fit for use. For example, the single slide has a crack and a hole at the exit of the slide and the bubble panel is also cracked and is showing signs of rust and corrosion. See attached quote from Miracle Recreation Equipment Company for a full list of equipment costs. The $16,932.97 quote from Miracle Recreation does not include installation costs, Staff is currently working with the company to obtain the final quote which will include the installation costs.

Page 17 of 312 ends

At Knott's Sky Park, the 10' slide has cracks on both sides of the entryway. The manufacturer no longer replicates the part so the City has to buy the updated version which will require new pieces and post footings. Furthermore, one of the steps detached from the rock-climbing wall leaving a visible and hazardous hole. The spindle is also missing from the maze wheel. See attached quote from GameTime for a full list of equipment costs. The $18,757.87 quote from GameTime does include the installation costs; however, if additional footings are needed, there will be additional costs.

Staff identified other less serious replacement needs at the City's other parks, which will be replaced on an as needed basis. Should any emergency replacement needs arise before the end of the current Fiscal Year, Staff will utilize funds from the remaining $50,000 balance requested here.

This procurement qualifies as a sole source purchase due to the parts being available only from the original equipment manufacturer. Consistent with the City's Playground Safety Management Program, all playground repairs shall be made in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications using only manufacturer-approved replacement parts when needed.

Due to safety concerns, Staff has already begun ordering the parts for both parks. No funds will be disbursed to the respective vendors until the City Council approves this procurement.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Goal C: Improved Infrastructure.

Objective: Repair existing infrastructure and build new systems so residents can live, work, and play safely.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A
ALTERNATIVES:

City Council could choose to delay the equipment replacement; however, this alternative is not advisable due to safety and liability concerns.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff recommends the use of reserves in the amount of $50,000 from the City's Capital Projects Fund to cover the cost of the playground equipment. If approved, the appropriation of these funds will be reflected as a budget adjustment in the Capital Projects Fund for FY 2025-26.

Once your order is received, it is sent to the
company headquarters in Fort Payne, Alabama.

You will receive a confirmation letter, confirming
your order and the projected delivery date. If you
have included installation in your order, an installer
will also contact you before the order ships to
confirm the details regarding
• site preparation requirements
• surfacing type and depth
• underground utility locations
• coordination with other trades
• accessibility to the site for delivery/installation.

Your order will ship via common carrier 24-45 days
after its acceptance into the GameTime system.

Depending on how far from Fort Payne, Alabama
you are located, the order should arrive in 3-10 days
after shipment.

AFTER YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER
What to expect in the schedule of events that take place after your order.

THE TIMELINE
Your freight carrier will contact you 24 hours in
advance of the delivery. You will need 2-4 people to
help you unload. Heavier items like the MegaRock®
might require additional helpers.

Your equipment will arrive in large consolidated
boxes. You may want to break them open on the
truck and unload piece by piece for easier handing.

Be sure to locate the box labeled “Installation
Instructions Inside” and set it aside.

You will also want to make sure you have a secure
location to store all your equipment until the
installation day. Your driver will give you a bill of
lading, documenting the number of boxes, as well
as a listing of component number of the parts that
you should have received. Before signing the receipt,
you’ll want to inventory the shipment and note any
missing items on the bill of lading before the driver
leaves.

OF TWENTYNINE PALMS

SEWER CONTRACT (JB
Rev.2)(ADG_Rev.1)[3]
BACKGROUND:

Project Phoenix or Freedom Plaza has redefined our Downtown area. Freedom Plaza offers a state-ofthe-art gymnasium, stage, community kitchen, and space for what has become the Twentynine Palms Joshua Tree National Park Visitors' Center. The Freedom Plaza project also created a master wastewater collection system serving Freedom Plaza, approximately fifteen businesses, and a future hotel site. The total wastewater system consists of 2,800 linear feet of sewer pipe, a 2,500 gallon and 7,500- gallon septic tanks, ten seepage pits, 20 lateral clean outs, and ten (10) manhole covers. The two septic tanks are in the process of being replaced with a package treatment facility. The package treatment facility should be completed and operational by the 4th Quarter of 2026.

Currently, the City does not have Staff who possess the specialized expertise needed for sewer system operation and maintenance. The City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Project Phoenix Wastewater System Maintenance Program in November 2020 and determined CSA 70 was the most qualified entity to perform the required services. CSA 70 is an abbreviation for San Bernardino County Service Area 70. CSA 70 is a part of the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works – Special Districts, which operates, maintains, and manages multiple public wastewater and water utility systems throughout San Bernardino County. SBC Public Works - Special Districts employs California Water Environment Association (“CWEA”) certified wastewater collection system operators with the training,

Page 75 of 312 ends

expertise, equipment, and institutional knowledge necessary to provide professional wastewater collection system operations, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and emergency response services.

On February 9, 2021, the City Council entered into a contract with CSA 70 for the operation and maintenance of the Project Phoenix Wastewater System. The Contract commenced on March 9, 2021, with an expiration date of March 30, 2022. The City Council extended the contract through March 31, 2026. The agreement is currently expired and must be renewed.

The services that have been provided include, but are not be limited to, the following:

1. Monthly Inspection. Above ground visual inspection of wastewater system including, manhole covers, trench condition, lateral cleanouts, seepage pit covers and sewer cleanouts; provide inspection report identifying results of inspection.

2. Quarterly Inspection. Open all manhole and cleanout covers and visually check for any surcharges; inspect septic tanks and seepage pits to determine pumping needs; provide inspection report identifying results of inspection.

3. Annual Maintenance and Inspection – Wastewater Piping System. Provide flushing/jetting of entire sewer pipe system, and video inspection of complete sewer pipe system; provide inspection report identifying work completed and results.

4. Annual Maintenance and Inspection – Septic Tanks and Seepage Pits. Inspect, monitor and pump septic tanks and/or pits as required by State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB); haul effluent to approved site for disposal and provide disposal information to City.

5. Annual Report. Prepare an Annual Report as required by SWRCB.

6. Emergencies. Provide on-call service for blockages, sewer system overflows (SSO) and all other emergencies as required. The base emergency costs are an estimate for emergency response. Actual costs for labor, vehicles, equipment, materials, and indirect administrative costs will be charged per emergency incident.

The attached contract provides a more detailed explanation of the nature and scope of the various services CSA 70 would provide.

The proposed contract covers system maintenance through Fiscal Year 2031 at a cost of $77,081.02 (FY 2026-27), $79,393.46 (FY 2027-28), $81,775.26 (FY 2028-29), $84,228.52 (FY 2029-30), and $86,755.37 (FY 2030-31) for a total cost of $409,233.63.

Type FY 2026-27 FY 2027-28 FY 2028-29 FY 2029-30 FY 2030-31 Monthly Inspection $ 27,282.54 $ 28,101.02 $ 28,944.05 $ 29,812.37 $ 30,706.74 Quarterly Inspection $ 6,490.33 $ 6,685.04 $ 6,885.59 $ 7,092.16 $ 7,304.93 Annual Maintenance

Response $ 18,074.31 $ 18,616.54 $ 19,175.04 $ 19,750.29 $ 20,342.80 TOTAL: $ 77,081.02 $ 79,393.46 $ 81,775.26 $ 84,228.52 $ 86,755.37 TOTAL: $ 409,233.63
As discussed above, the City is close to completing the construction of the Project Phoenix Wastewater System package treatment plant. While Staff is evaluating the best approach to servicing and maintaining the package treatment plant, CSA 70 has experienced wastewater treatment plant operations and maintenance Staff and the City should utilize to maintain the plant. Once our package treatment plant is complete, Staff will evaluate whether CSA 70 is the appropriate vendor to maintain the Page 76 of 312 package treatment plant. If CSA 70 is the best option, Staff will bring to the City Council any needed amendments to ensure the package plant is properly maintained.

Ability to cancel the contract:

Should CSA 70 fail to provide the required services or the City determines CSA 70 is no longer able to meet the City's needs, the proposed contract provides the ability to cancel the contract with sixty (60) days written notice (Section VIII Termination A).

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This agenda item addresses the following strategic plan goals:
 Goal C: Improved Infrastructure - Repair existing infrastructure and build new systems so residents can live, work, and play safely.
 C2.1 Foster partnership with Twentynine Palms Water District to ensure community has continued access to sufficient quantities of high-quality drinking water for the next 100 years, establishing periodic checkpoints to review status and progress.  C2.7: Ensure appropriate oversight of community’s non-tribal package treatment plans.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

The City approved a Mitigative Negative Declaration for the entire Project Phoenix project, which included the sewer pipeline installation and operation, on February 12, 2019.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could reject the contract and re-advertise for a new operator.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This work has been paid by the wastewater rates to the 14 businesses in Project Phoenix, but the majority has been and will be continued to be paid by the General Fund.

If the services involve mold identification/remediation, the Contractors Pollution Liability policy shall not contain a mold exclusion, and the definition of Pollution shall include microbial matter, including mold.

If the contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above for all policies, the Entity requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or higher limits maintained by the contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Entity.

Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the Entity. At the option of the Entity, either: the contractor shall cause the insurer shall to reduce or eliminate such self-insured retentions as respects the Entity, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers; or the Contractor shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to the Entity guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses.

STAFF REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Information Services Director
FOR MEETING: Apr 14 2026
SUBJECT: Council Chambers Audio and Video Upgrade for SB707.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council approve the purchase from Rat Sound Systems in the amount of $21,483.92 for the upgrades to the Council Chambers as a result of SB707 and authorize Staff to pay at the time of order. This equipment is a special order, and we do not have an established relationship with this vendor.

BACKGROUND:

In October of 2025, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 707(Durazo) into law. SB 707 makes updates to the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code section 54950 et seq.), the primary open meeting law governing local agency legislative bodies. The legislation both restores and restructures various provisions set to expire in 2026, makes certain permanent transparency-related reforms, and establishes new requirements to enlarge public access and participation in local government proceedings.

Starting on July 1, 2026, eligible legislative bodies must provide the public with the ability to attend all open and public meetings via a two-way telephonic service or two-way audiovisual platform (e.g., Teams). Each eligible legislative body must also adopt, at a noticed public meeting, a written policy for responding to disruptions in the telephonic or internet service that prevents public members from attending or observing the meeting. In the event of such a disruption, the body must recess its open session and engage in a good faith attempt to restore service.

The session must stay in recess for at least an hour or until the disruption has been addressed and remedied, whichever is earlier.

SB 707 also substantially reorganizes and expands the Brown Act’s teleconferencing framework through new Sections 54953.8 through 54953.8.7. These provisions create a unified structure of remote participation and teleconferencing as an alternative and in addition to the traditional teleconferencing provision under section 54953. For clarity, the teleconference framework through the new Sections 54953.8 through 54953.8.7 are not limited to “eligible legislative bodies” but are for all legislative bodies of local agencies to use. Teleconferencing under Section 54953, sometimes referred to as the Traditional Teleconferencing Rules, remains available for members of a legislative body. Under Section 54953, at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body

Page 91 of 312 ends

must be present within the jurisdictional boundaries of the local agency during a teleconference meeting. Any teleconferencing location is also required to be accessible to the public.

The new alternative teleconferencing provisions, under section 54953.8, authorize teleconferencing, under limited and specific circumstances, without the traditional quorum and location requirements. Depending on the type of local agency, different quorum, location, and public accessibility requirements may be imposed. The relevant provisions also expanded the list of “just cause” that permits members to participate remotely for reasons including, but not limited to, childcare responsibilities, illness, family medical emergencies, or military service.

Based on this legislation, Staff has conducted a thorough review of the equipment currently present in the Council Chambers. As Staff has been responsible for the Council Chamber since 2007, having installed all current equipment, Staff quickly determined the existing analog equipment is not sufficient to handle the new required workload. Staff decided the most appropriate action was to design a new purpose-built system, capable of handling the increased workload and maintaining reliability.

To assist with this design, Staff reached out to Kyle Matthews of Geertech. Geertech is uniquely positioned in the enterprise audio and video space. Geertech is funded by the manufacturers of enterprise audio and video equipment, providing design and demonstration assistance at no cost to the City. Kyle came onsite and did an initial assessment of our current equipment, agreeing with Staff’s determination that the current equipment was not capable of meeting the new requirements.

Kyle proposed several potential options for Staff to research. Staff then researched all options and requested onsite demonstrations for a series of products. Kyle was able to conduct the on-site demonstrations with manufacturer support, helping us determine the most cost effective and reliable path forward.

The selected products do come with some proprietary sales restrictions, as resellers have territories and categories assigned to them. While discussing our procurement policy it was determined that there was a single vendor that met all of the requirements and capabilities to provide us with the equipment. Staff is recommending this vendor, Rat Sound Systems, as the sole source provider for the enterprise equipment only (see attached quote). This quote includes extra devices to be used as cold spares, ensuring compliance with the good faith restoration effort required in the legislation. The vendor carries the two unique product lines and is authorized to sell to commercial entities. The vendor is also capable of providing on demand support without an annual contract. Purchasing this equipment from this vendor allows us to receive setup support directly from AV PRO.

Staff believes this support will be critical to ensuring a seamless transition.

Staff is asking the City Council to approve the purchase of the items listed on quote 512324, in the amount of $21,483.92. Staff is also asking the City Council to allow the deviation from our standard procurement policy and authorize payment of an invoice at time of order. This represents a large portion of the necessary equipment but not all. Staff will make additional purchases from our standard vendors using the current procurement policy.

• Measure I 3.0 Expenditure
Plan (Member Agency
Review)[1]
• Formal 29P Resolution re
Measure I
BACKGROUND:

Measure I is a one-half of one percent transactions and use tax originally approved by San Bernardino County voters in 1989 and renewed in 2004. The measure provides dedicated funding for transportation improvements throughout the County and is currently set to expire on April 1, 2040. The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) is proposing a continuation of Measure I beyond 2040, which is anticipated to be placed before voters on the November 3, 2026 ballot. If approved by voters, the continuation would maintain the existing one-half of one percent sales tax rate without increasing taxes and is estimated to generate approximately $7.5 billion over its first 30 years. Revenues would remain within San Bernardino County and would continue to be dedicated exclusively to transportation-related purposes.

The proposed Expenditure Plan allocates revenues by percentage and geographic subarea. The City of Twentynine Palms is located within the San Bernardino Mountain Desert Subarea, where funds would be allocated as follows: seventy percent (70%) for Local Mobility, twenty percent (20%) for Regional Mobility, and ten percent (10%) for Operations. Local Mobility funds are distributed directly to jurisdictions based on population and may be used for street rehabilitation, pothole repair, sidewalks, bicycle facilities, grade separations, and related improvements. Jurisdictions must adopt an annually updated Five-Year Plan to receive funds, and five percent (5%) must initially be reserved for active transportation projects. Page 95 of 312
Regional Mobility funds support major regional projects such as freeway and interchange improvements, rail capital and rehabilitation, congestion management, and related system enhancements, with expenditures determined by the SBCTA Board based on recommendations from local representatives.

Operations funds support transit and mobility services, including bus and rail operations, senior and specialized transportation services, rideshare programs, and first/last mile connections. Additionally, three percent (3%) of total countywide revenue is reserved for Interregional Mobility projects addressing key corridors, goods movement, and emergency and disaster response infrastructure.

The Expenditure Plan includes return-to-source provisions, annual local audits, biennial SBCTA audits, and continued oversight by an Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee. Pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 180206, the Expenditure Plan must be approved by the County Board of Supervisors and a majority of the cities representing a majority of the incorporated population in order to place the measure before voters. Participating jurisdictions are being asked to consider the Resolution in advance of the deadlines necessary to place the measure on the November 2026 ballot.

As of the writing of this Staff Report (March 26, 2026) 17 of SBC's 24 cities have approved the attached expenditure plan. The remaining seven cities are scheduled to complete their review and approvals by April 14, 2026.

Exhibit A
Transportation Expenditure Plan
Revenue Estimates and Distribution. Allocation of revenue authorized by Ordinance No. 26-1 is established within this Expenditure Plan. Funds shall be allocated by percentage of the actual revenue received. An estimate of revenues and allocation among categories for the first 30 years is $7.5 billion. The estimated revenue is based upon 2026 value of money and is not binding or controlling.

Return to Source. After deduction of required CDTFA fees, funds dedicated for the Interregional Mobility Expenditure Plan and authorized administrative costs, revenues generated from each specified Subarea within San Bernardino County will be expended on projects of direct benefit to that Subarea.

Revenues will be accounted for separately for each Subarea and then allocated to specified project categories. Decisions on how revenues for certain project categories are expended within the Subareas will be made by the Authority Board of Directors, based upon recommendation of local representatives.

Subarea Identification. The San Bernardino Valley Subarea will include the cities of Chino, Chino Hills, Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Highland, Loma Linda, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands, Rialto, San Bernardino, Upland and Yucaipa and unincorporated areas in the east and west portions of the San Bernardino valley urbanized area. The Mountain/Desert area will include the following subareas: (1) The North Desert Subarea, which includes the City of Barstow and surrounding unincorporated areas; (2) The Colorado River Subarea, which includes the City of Needles and the surrounding unincorporated areas of the East Desert; (3) The Morongo Basin Subarea, which includes the City of Twentynine Palms, Town of Yucca Valley, and surrounding unincorporated areas; (4) The Mountain Subarea, which includes the City of Big Bear Lake and surrounding unincorporated areas of the San Bernardino Mountains; and (5) the Victor Valley Subarea, which includes the Cities of Adelanto, Hesperia, and Victorville; the Town of Apple Valley; and surrounding unincorporated areas including Wrightwood.

Contribution from New Development. No revenue generated from the tax shall be used to replace the fair share contributions required from new development as further described in Section 8 of the Ordinance.

Requirement for Annual Financial and Compliance Audits of Measure Funds. The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority shall undergo a biennial financial audit, and each local jurisdiction receiving an allocation of Measure revenue authorized in this Expenditure Plan shall undergo an annual financial audit, with all audits to be performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and government auditing standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Compliance audits also shall be conducted to ensure that each agency is expending funds in accordance with the provisions and guidelines established for Measure revenue including compliance with Maintenance of Effort provisions
The Interregional Mobility Expenditure Plan. Upon initial collection of revenue, 3% of the revenue generated across all San Bernardino County subareas will be reserved in advance of other allocations specified in this plan, in an account for the Interregional Mobility Expenditure Plan. The Interregional Mobility Expenditure Plan will provide resources for the planning and implementation of projects and programs that provide critical infrastructure to communities impacted by regional motorist, tourism, interregional travel, and goods movement. This program will help plan and deliver critical infrastructure improvements, such as enhancements in the Cajon Pass and other key corridors, that address congestion,

Page 98 of 312 ends

enhance mobility, improve safety, and strengthen resilience. It will also support evacuation planning, bolster emergency response capabilities, improve primary evacuation routes, and fund transit-related evacuation needs. In addition, the program will be available to address unexpected infrastructure damage resulting from natural or human-caused disasters, ensuring rapid recovery and the restoration of essential interregional mobility.

San Bernardino Valley Subarea Expenditure Plan. In that area described as the San Bernardino Valley Subarea, and referred to herein as the Valley Subarea, project categories shall be established as specified below. The San Bernardino Valley Subarea Expenditure Plan is illustrated in Figure A.

A. State and Federal Transportation Funds. A proportional share of projected state and federal transportation funds shall be reserved for use solely within the Valley Subarea.

B. Local Mobility 25%. Local priorities that focus on local roadway, bikeway, and sidewalk construction, repair, and maintenance for improved localized movement. Includes pass through for local priorities such as: local street widening & rehabilitation, potholes, grade separations, sidewalks, bike lanes, streetlights, and quiet zones. Allocations to local jurisdictions shall be on a per capita basis using the most recent State Department of Finance population estimates for January 1, with the County's portion based upon unincorporated population in the Valley Subarea. Estimates of unincorporated population within the Valley Subarea shall be determined by the County Planning Department, reconciled with the State Department of Finance population estimate for January 1 of each year.

Upon initial collection of revenue, each local jurisdiction shall reserve 5% of allocated revenue in a special account to be expended on active transportation projects. Eligible active transportation projects may include, at the discretion of the local jurisdiction, bicycle and pedestrian projects and costs for associated studies or plans. If, after at least ten years of revenue collection, the local jurisdiction’s governing body makes a finding that the reserve for active transportation projects is no longer necessary, and the Authority Board of Directors subsequently approves the finding, then all Local Mobility funds allocated to the local jurisdiction may be used for any eligible purpose.

Local Mobility projects are defined as local street and road construction, repair, and maintenance and other eligible local transportation priorities. Except as set forth herein, Local Mobility funds can be used flexibly for any eligible transportation purpose determined to be a local priority, including local streets, major highways, state highway improvements, transit, and other improvements/programs to maximize use of transportation facilities. Expenditure of Local Mobility funds shall be based upon a Five-Year Plan adopted annually by the governing body of each local jurisdiction after being made available for public review and comment. Local Mobility funds shall be disbursed to local jurisdictions upon receipt of the annually adopted Five-Year Plan. The locally adopted Five-Year Plan shall be consistent with local, regional, and state transportation plans.

C. Regional Mobility 50%. Regional priorities that focus on goods movement, transit, managed lanes, congestion management, and emerging transportation technologies to enhance regional movement and include: highway improvements, bus and passenger rail (capital and rehabilitation), corridors, interchanges, environmental mitigation, traffic management systems (freeway service patrol and air quality strategies), quiet zones, planning and project development, and emerging transportation technology.

Regional Mobility projects are defined as congestion relief and safety improvements to corridors that connect communities, serve major destinations, and provide freeway access. Decisions on how Regional Mobility funds are expended will be made by the Authority Board of Directors, based upon recommendation of local jurisdiction representatives. Funding priorities shall be given to improving roadway safety, relieving congestion, and street improvements at rail crossings and shall take into

Page 99 of 312 ends

account equitable geographic distribution over the life of the program. Eligible projects also include, but are not limited to, signal synchronization, systems to improve traffic flow, commuter assistance programs, freeway service patrol, and projects that contribute to environmental enhancement associated with transportation facilities.

D. Operations 25%. Resourcing the operational costs for providing mobility services via rail, transit, senior and specialized services, first/last mile connections, ridesharing, and safety support functions.

Decisions on how Operations funds are expended will be made by the Authority Board of Directors, based upon recommendations of local jurisdiction representatives. Funding priorities shall be given to maintaining core services across all modes of mobility.

Mountain/Desert Expenditure Plan. In that area described as the Mountain/Desert area, the following Expenditure Plan requirements shall apply. The Mountain/Desert Subarea Expenditure Plan is illustrated in Figure B.

A. State and Federal Transportation Funds. A proportional share of projected state and federal transportation funds shall be reserved for use solely within the Mountain/Desert Subareas.

B. Local Mobility 70%. Local priorities that focus on local roadway, bikeway, and sidewalk construction, repair, and maintenance for improved localized movement. Includes pass through for local priorities such as: local street widening & rehabilitation, potholes, grade separations, sidewalks, bike lanes, and streetlights. Allocations to local jurisdictions shall be based upon population (50 percent) and tax generation (50 percent). Population calculations shall be based upon the most current State Department of Finance estimates for January 1 of each year. Estimates of unincorporated population within each Subarea shall be determined by the County Planning Department, reconciled with the State Department of Finance population estimate. Tax generation calculations shall be based upon CDTFA data.

Upon initial collection of revenue, each local jurisdiction shall reserve 5% of allocated revenue in a special account to be expended on active transportation projects. Eligible active transportation projects may include, at the discretion of the local jurisdiction, but are not limited to, bicycle and pedestrian projects and costs for associated studies or plans. If, after at least ten years of revenue collection, the local jurisdiction’s governing body makes a finding that the reserve for active transportation projects is no longer necessary, and the Authority Board of Directors subsequently approves the finding, then all Local Mobility funds allocated to the jurisdiction may be used for any eligible purpose.

Local Mobility projects are defined as local street and road construction, repair, and maintenance and other eligible local transportation priorities. Except as set forth herein, Local Mobility funds can be used flexibly for any eligible transportation purpose determined to be a local priority, including local roads, major streets, state highway improvements, transit, including but not limited to, fare subsidies and service enhancements for seniors and persons with disabilities, and other improvements/programs to maximize use of transportation facilities. Expenditure of Local Mobility funds shall be based upon a Five-Year Plan adopted annually by the governing body of each local jurisdiction after being made available for public review and comment. Local Mobility funds shall be disbursed to local jurisdictions upon receipt of the annually adopted Five-Year Plan. The locally adopted Five-Year Plans shall be consistent with other local, regional, and state transportation plans.

C. Regional Mobility 20%. Regional priorities that focus on goods movement, transit, managed lanes, congestion management, and emerging transportation technologies to enhance regional movement and include: highway improvements, bus and passenger rail (capital and rehabilitation), corridors, interchanges, environmental mitigation, traffic management systems (freeway service patrol and air quality strategies), planning and project development, and emerging transportation technology.

Page 100 of 312 ends

Revenue collected within each Subarea shall be reserved in a special account to be expended on Regional Mobility projects of benefit to the Subarea. Regional Mobility projects are defined as major streets and highways serving as primary routes of travel within the Subarea, which may include State highways and freeways, where appropriate. Regional Mobility Projects funds can be used to leverage state and federal funds for transportation projects and to perform advance planning/project reports.

Expenditure of Regional Mobility funds shall be approved by the Authority Board of Directors, based upon a recommendation of Subarea representatives and the Mountain/Desert Policy Committee. If, after five years of revenue collection and every five years thereafter, the local representatives and the Mountain/Desert Policy Committee make a finding that Regional Mobility funds are not required for improvements of benefit to the Subarea, then revenue in the Regional Mobility category may be returned to local jurisdictions within the Subarea. Such return shall be allocated and expended based upon the formula and requirements established in the Local Mobility category.

D. Operations 10%. Resourcing the operational costs for providing mobility services via rail, transit, senior and specialized services, first/last mile connections, ridesharing, and safety support functions.

Decisions on how Operations funds are expended will be made by the Authority Board of Directors, based upon recommendation of Subarea representatives and the Mountain/Desert Policy Committee and/or Transit Committee. Funding priorities shall be given to maintaining core services across all modes of mobility services.

The Authority Board of Directors, based upon recommendation of Subarea representatives and the Mountain/Desert Policy Committee, may provide additional funding beyond 10% upon a finding that such increase is required to address unmet transit needs of the Subarea. All increases above the 10% initial revenue collected for the Operations category shall come from the Local Mobility category of the Subarea.

E. Mountain/Desert Policy Committee. The Mountain/Desert Policy Committee of the Authority shall remain in effect and provide oversight of the implementation of the Mountain/Desert Expenditure Plan.

BACKGROUND:

California faces a significant housing supply and affordability crisis spurred by high land costs, rising construction costs, limited financing options, and other market constraints. These issues and challenges have manifested at the local level with compounding and interrelated impacts on housing supply, homelessness, and regional economic stability. Addressing these issues requires coordinated actions at the local, regional, and statewide levels.

One such regional action is the establishment of the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT), which would raise and leverage funds to support affordable housing production, preservation, rehabilitation, and other housing-related activities across the San Bernardino region.

In response to increasing concern regarding housing challenges in the region the City/County Managers Technical Advisory Committee (CCMTAC) of the San Bernardino Council of Governments (SBCOG) formed an ad hoc subcommittee in 2021 to explore the feasibility of implementing a housing trust fund.

At the direction of the Subcommittee, SBCOG released the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust White Paper (White Paper) in January 2022, which outlines potential benefits, governance structures, and relevant case studies related to the formation of a housing trust fund.

The White Paper concludes that a regionally structured housing trust fund would benefit the region through shared governance, administrative efficiency, enhanced visibility to potential investors, developers, and the state, and economies of scale that localized efforts may not achieve on their own.

Following the release of the White Paper, SBCOG developed the SBRHT Strategic Plan, which assesses housing needs throughout the San Bernardino region and identifies potential funding sources, financing mechanisms, and programmatic activities that could be supported by the SBRHT. Throughout 2022 and 2023, SBCOG conducted extensive outreach, engaging local decision-making bodies, city and county managers, planning staff, elected officials, developers, and housing administrators.

Based on this research and outreach, it was recommended that a housing trust fund serving the San Bernardino region be structured as a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) comprised of local jurisdictions within the region. On April 5, 2023, the SBCOG Board of Directors authorized staff to begin the process of establishing the SBRHT, including the formation of a new JPA.

SBRHT Benefits
The SBRHT aims to provide a coordinated, regional approach to addressing housing needs throughout the San Bernardino region by raising and leveraging funds to support housing development, with a particular focus on affordable housing. Participation in the JPA would:
 Expand funding opportunities by leveraging state, federal, and private resources;  Support affordable housing projects within the [City/County] and throughout the region;  Provide regional coordination and administration to address housing needs comprehensively;  Increase development interest and investment in the region; and  Ensure local representation in decision-making through the JPA governance structure.

The Housing Trust Ad Hoc Committee is currently developing recommendations regarding policies and priorities. By joining the JPA, the [City/County] would have a direct role in shaping these policies and priorities.

JPA Development
A draft Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement was circulated to all SBCOG member agencies on December 15, 2025 for review and comment. SBCOG received feedback several jurisdictions and subsequently met with the CCMTAC Housing Trust Ad Hoc Committee on February 5, 2026 and February 23, 2026, to discuss proposed . The attached JPA Agreement reflects revisions based on comments received and discussions held.

The SBRHT Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement incorporates the provisions of SB 20 (2023), as well as the broader Joint Exercise of Powers Act. Utilizing the provisions of SB 20 allows the SBRHT to be an early adopter of this legislation, which may increase visibility and interest from the State Legislature and enhance opportunities for state funding. Incorporation of the broader Joint Exercise of Powers Act provides flexibility for the SBRHT to exercise powers that are common to its member agencies.

Page 112 of 312 ends

The governing structure of the SBRHT is centered on a Board of Directors, which exercises all powers and authority on behalf of the organization. The Board of Directors will consist of one locally elected representative from each participating member agency, as well as at least two housing policy experts.

Housing policy experts will be selected by a vote of the elected members of the Board. The Board will also elect officers, including a Chair and Vice Chair, and may establish advisory committees as needed.

The SBRHT may contract for administrative staff or services as necessary. The Board is responsible for adopting bylaws, overseeing budgets, and ensuring compliance with California’s Joint Exercise of Powers Act and other applicable state laws. All meetings will be conducted in accordance with the Brown Act, ensuring transparency and public accountability. Overall, the governance model balances local representation with subject-matter expertise while maintaining operational independence from its Member Agencies.

JPA formation estimated cost update:

As of March 6, 2026, 9 jurisdictions confirmed to take the JPA forward, and the initial cost estimate from 3/6 was based on those agencies. You may recall that the cost range tiers will be based on population of the jurisdictions per Board of Director direction. At that point, the cost range was $31,000-$55,000.

Since 3/6, 15 jurisdictions have either adopted or confirmed they are taking the JPA forward for consideration in the next 2 weeks. Additional agencies adopting results in a cost allocation estimate decrease for the members joining the JPA. Below is the cost estimate range with the assumption that those agencies scheduled for City Council/Board consideration will adopt. If an agency chooses not to adopt, the actual cost allocation will reflect the jurisdictions that do move to adopt.

The cost allocation estimate includes the following jurisdictions:

1. Adelanto - Adopted

2. Chino – Adopted

3. Chino Hills - Adopted

4. County of SB – Scheduled for 4/7

5. Fontana – Adopted

6. Montclair - Adopted

7. Needles - Adopted

8. Ontario – Scheduled for 4/8

9. Rancho Cucamonga – Adopted

10. Redlands – Scheduled for 4/7

11. Rialto – Scheduled for 4/14

12. San Bernardino (City) - Adopted

13. Twentynine Palms – Scheduled for 4/14

14. Upland – Adopted

15. Yucca Valley – Adopted
Year 1 ($300k) Year 3+ at Full Capacity ($475k)
Low High Low High
$10,000 $30,000 $25,000 $40,000
Additionally, the first Housing Trust Board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 5/13. The Clerk of the Board will be reaching out to the Board Appointees as we get closer to the meeting to ensure they are notified of proceedings and the agenda.

Short-term Benefit:
"A pilot project was awarded $1.75 Million in the City of Twentynine Palms when REAP funds were awarded to SBCOG for implementation of the Housing Trust. There is a tight timeline on use of the funds... The housing trust must allocate the funds to a viable project in the City by December. The

Page 113 of 312 ends

funds must be expended within 5 years of allocation, so essentially, the project needs to be ready to go to construction in the next 7 months. " (emphasis added)(2026-04-03 email)(attached).

Staff is working to understand additional requirements and the potential to extend the window to allocate the funds.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This agenda item addresses the following strategic plan goals:
 Goal C Strategy 1: Support development of housing stock.  Goal C1.2: Determine future projection of housing construction needed to stay on track with the 2021-29 Regional Housing Needs Allocation requirement, creating a development timeline to help track potential projects and opportunities.
 Goal C1.4: Explore feasibility of incentive programs that attract new housing developments at multiple levels of affordability.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

There is no appreciable environmental impact.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to join the JPA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of participating in the JPA is estimated to range from $25,000 to $40,000 per year. Currently, the JPA has selected the City of Ontario and Twentynine Palms to receive grant funding for subsidized housing.

Twentynine Palms has been allocated $1.75M.

Recommendations Memo
Purpose
The San Bernardino region is facing a housing crisis, driven largely by a shortage of available affordable housing in the region. The drivers of the crisis and the broader housing needs are detailed in the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust (Trust) Housing Needs Assessment. The San Bernardino region has made an important commitment to help meet the need for more affordable housing. This commitment is in the form of the establishment of the Trust. The Trust is one of many throughout California that will provide much needed funding to help increase the amount of affordable housing. The process of establishing the Trust has been underway since 2022, and the agency has reached an important point in planning for its financial future. This memorandum builds upon supplemental documentation and research conducted for the Trust, including but not limited to the Housing Trust White Paper, the Strategic Plan, and the Housing Needs Assessment. These documents provide essential supplemental information that lay the foundation for this memo.

The purpose of this memo is to establish a common understanding of potential housing trust funding sources, approaches to financing, housing activities that could be supported by a housing trust, and provides recommendations about which types of funding sources to prioritize. This memo serves as the foundation for the subsequent Funding Program Strategy and Implementation Plan, which establishes a 5- year strategy of actions the Trust should take to pursue funding, support projects, and administer the Trust.

2 Funding Sources
Housing trusts can be funded by a variety of funding sources such as grants, loans, donations, taxes, and fees. Funding sources can generally be categorized into the following categories:
 Local Agency Public Revenue Sources
 State and Federal Sources
 Private and Philanthropic Contributions
Some housing trusts will receive a majority of their funding from one funding source, such as fees, but many seek out a variety of funding sources. A variety of funding sources is ideal for the long-term success of a housing trust, as various funding sources can help to ensure long-term funding security, can help build capital, and can provide increased flexibility for the types of projects awarded by housing trusts.

Furthermore, it helps minimize reliance on any one source that could be negatively impacted in the future.

Local Agency Public Funding Sources
Local agency public funding sources are typically established through ballot measures or local ordinances that are established by a city, county, or council of governments and can include taxes, linkage or impact fees, bonds, or other sources. This can also include housing trust membership dues or direct budget allocations. Public funding sources, generated locally, act as a mechanism to raise funding which can then be used to pay for affordable housing production. Such revenues are the most reliable and impactful means of funding housing at the regional scale, creating a permanent local source of funds while avoiding the complex and frequently changing availability of outside funding sources. In general, there are various means by which public agencies can raise and allocate funds for affordable housing production and preservation.

Crucially, all these public funding sources come with various requirements for how they are used, including, for example, prevailing wage requirements. Below is a list of the principal methods by which public agencies typically raise funds for affordable housing. Because the Trust will have the authority to exercise powers that are common to all it’s members, the Trust itself can work with its member agencies to establish mechanisms to raise funds for the Trust, and in other cases localities may pool their resources and dedicate them to the Trust
Tools to raise revenues without a ballot measure:
 Many localities use residual receipts payments on existing public agency affordable housing loans.

Residual receipts refers to the surplus (or “residual”) cash flow an affordable housing development earns from rental income after all maintenance and operations expenses and hard debt payments are made. In this sense, residual receipts payments are only paid when a project has income in excess of its operational and debt service costs. Soft debt loans, which are typically made by public agencies, are usually paid off by any residual receipts. San Diego County, for example, raised an estimated $5 million a year over a four-year period. While this is not a recommendation for the

Page 117 of 312 ends

SEPTEMBER 2025
3 near-term of the Trust, this is something the Trust can consider as its funding sources become more secure over time.
 Similar to residual receipts payments, some localities leverage the value of publicly owned land to enter into ground lease agreements with affordable housing developers who then make upfront and/or ongoing ground lease payments. Leveraging publicly owned lands for affordable housing presents the Trust with a unique opportunity to significantly reduce the cost of development without expending significant resources. The Trust can consider working with member agencies to have publicly owned lands transferred to the Trust to manage land leases or dedications.  Many cities and counties receive a Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) through 2017’s Senate Bill 2 that can be used for a wide range of affordable housing development efforts. The use of PLHA funds is up to the cities and county that are recipients of such funds. These funds are eligible to be used for Trust membership dues.
 Though resources at the Federal level are being cut, allocations to localities (cities and counties) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can be pooled together to help leverage additional state-administered funds.
 Local public agencies with inclusionary housing ordinances often collect in lieu fees which can go to an affordable housing fund. The Trust may work within its membership to establish inclusionary housing requirements that could contribute in-lieu fees to the Trust. Alternatively, cities and counties may contribute such funds to a housing trust to help such funds go further and reduce local administration costs.
 Similar to inclusionary ordinances, the Trust can also work with its member agencies to create commercial linkage fees that could be used to generate funds for affordable housing. San Jose, for example, has projected their fee will raise around $6 million a year.  Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) can raise funds to support affordable housing development. However, EIFDs are complex to form, used in limited settings, and do not have an extensive track record of implementation. Most significantly, by relying on tax increments, they essentially divert future property tax revenue from a local public agency’s general fund to geographically specific projects, and do not generate new revenues. While this may be an option for the Trust to support the establishment of EIFDs, it is not recommended that the Trust pursue this strategy at this time as the benefits will be too localized.

Ballot Measures
Housing Trusts can generate funds through ballot measures that would enable the Trust to issue bonds, levy a special tax, or generate other funds that typically require voter approval. Below are examples of general obligation bonds and taxes that have been established to raise funds for affordable housing. The amounts included were approved by voters in the years shown. If new taxes can be supported, they could provide a significant long-term funding source for the Trust, contributing to housing throughout the region.

General Obligation Bonds:
 Santa Clara County (2016, Measure A): $950 million
 San Francisco County (2019, Proposition A): $600 million  Alameda County (2016, Measure A1): $580 million

Transient Occupancy Tax
 Santa Monica (increased in 2022)
 Palm Springs (2002)
VMT Mitigation Bank
The Trust has a unique opportunity to generate funding locally by aligning its efforts with the region’s efforts to establish a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Bank. The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) is currently developing a VMT Mitigation Bank that will collect credits from projects that reduce VMT and sell those credits as mitigation for projects that increase VMT. Funds collected can then be used towards efforts that reduce VMT such as rewarding residents that choose public transit or development projects that reduce the need to drive. Housing development has the potential to reduce VMT, when designed and located strategically. Particularly, affordable housing presents a strong opportunity for reducing VMT, as residents of affordable housing tend to drive less due to lower car ownership rates.

Additionally, the California Environmental Quality Act allows developers to claim VMT reduction credits in exchange for affordable housing. Further, the Western Riverside Council of Governments has identified a correlation between affordable housing and VMT mitigation, stating that providing gap financing for 1-2 affordable housing projects can mitigate an interchange project1.

The Trust presents an opportunity to both contribute to the VMT Mitigation Bank in the form of affordable housing VMT credits and capitalize on funding generated by the VMT Mitigation Bank to fund affordable housing in the region. It is likely that projects eligible for funding from the regional VMT Mitigation Bank will also be competitive for the state’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program, the latter being one of the most reliable and dynamic statutory State funding programs. AHSC funds both affordable housing developments and associated greenhouse gas reduction capital projects, relying on funding from California’s Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds. 1 WRCOG VMT Mitigation Program presentation.

SEPTEMBER 2025
5 Establishing the region’s VMT Mitigation Bank as a regular funding source for the Trust is a promising avenue for long-term funding for the Trust. It can be particularly valuable to finance affordable housing developments that are in infill or otherwise VMT efficient areas, as well as improve transportation infrastructure to reduce VMT and greenhouse gas emissions. More analysis is needed to understand the scale of revenue that can be anticipated. The VMT Mitigation Bank is anticipated to be established in 2026 and opportunities will become apparent in its early years as it begins to generate funds.

State and Federal Funding Sources
There are many grant and subsidy programs available from both state and federal sources that could support the housing trust. State and federal funding levels can change on an annual basis, varying according to political support, economic trends, and other factors.

Funding Outlook
Based on the 2025–26 California State Budget, totaling $322.2 billion, there is no new funding allocated to the State’s Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) program. The LHTF program has been a significant and reliable funding source for housing trusts throughout the state, including regional trusts that are operating in a model similar to what is being conceptualized for San Bernardino. This pause in investment underscores the importance of local action and innovation in addressing housing needs absent state support.

The act of establishing a local housing trust demonstrates that local jurisdictions are not waiting for State intervention; they are stepping up with solutions. This proactive leadership strengthens the case for future State support by showing readiness, commitment, and capacity.

In the most recent funding round (2023), the LHTF program awarded $53.4 million to 15 local and regional housing trusts, including both new and established entities. Notably, 15% of those funds were reserved for newly formed trusts, signaling the State’s interest in supporting emerging local efforts.

There is also power in collective action. As more jurisdictions create housing trusts, they form a network that can advocate more effectively for renewed State investment and expanded funding sources. Local housing trusts not only serve their communities directly but can also help shape the broader housing policy landscape.

Beyond the LHTF, some housing trusts in California have seen some success in receipt of budget earmarks through local agency, State and Federal budgets. These housing trusts include the following:
 Orange County Housing Finance Trust: in 2023, the OCHFT received a federal budget earmark of $3 million. Additionally, they are the recipient of annual contributions from the County of Orange.

The County of Orange is responsible for administering the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funds. The County Board of Supervisors has dedicated $20.5 million in MHSA funds to the Trust to be distributed annually over a period of 5-years (2020-2025)  San Diego Innovative Housing Trust Fund (SDIHTF): in 2017 the SDIHTF was established through a $25M general fund appropriation by the County of San Diego, with an additional $25M investment in 2019. The SDIHTF is managed by the County’s Health and Human Services Agency,

Page 120 of 312 ends

SEPTEMBER 2025
6 and Housing and Community Development Services. The County’s investment has resulted in a total community investment of over $569M and the construction of 1,398 affordable housing units.  San Gabriel Valley Housing Trust: in 2022 the SGVHT received a State budget earmark of $7.8 million; and in 2021 they received a State budget earmark of $20 million  Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Housing Trust: In 2022 the BGPHT received a State budget earmark of $23 million
 Lift to Rise, Coachella Valley Catalyst Housing Fund: In 2022 Lift to Rise received a State budget earmark of $15 million Private and Philanthropic Contributions Housing trusts can seek donations from both corporations and non-profit organizations. This could include funds that may be incentivized by tax deductions, or direct contributions. Both corporations and non-profits may have interest in the housing supply as this can impact issues such as workforce availability, socioeconomic conditions, and environmental sustainability.

To accept such contributions, the housing trusts should consider establishing a mechanism by which donations can be made to a non-profit organization. Donors will be more likely to make contributions to a non-profit organization because such donations may be considered tax deductible. Housing trusts can establish a non-profit component by either filing 501c3 status or by partnering with an already established non-profit so that it may receive tax-exempt donations to fund affordable housing.

SEPTEMBER 2025
7 Financing
Housing trusts administer funding to provide financing for qualifying projects that support the objectives of the housing trusts. Project financing could include:
 Grants – Non-repayable funds awarded to developers or nonprofits. Grant awards are ideal for projects that are serving the greatest unmet need and providing a significant percentage of affordable housing units for populations with special housing needs or those lowest income earning households. Grants can be used to support projects through gap financing, land acquisition, or predevelopment costs. Grants should require deed restrictions or other suitable measures to ensure that criteria are met for a prolonged period of time.  Loans – Loans could be issued in the form of deferred payment loans or interest-bearing loans and may be converted to grants in the event that certain project criteria are met. This includes traditional bank loans that must be paid back on a given schedule, known as hard debt, as well as loans typically made by public agencies that are only required to be paid back if and when projects have excess cash flow, also known as residual cash flow; loans that pay only when there is residual cash flow are known as soft debt, and those payments are called residual receipts payments. Loans can be used as gap financing to support project development costs and can be used as leverage to help secure further funding. If interest-bearing loans are awarded, interest received can be put into a revolving loan fund to act as a funding source for the housing trust. The intent of revolving loan funds is to finance projects, as they are seeded by funding sources and money received is recycled into new loans. However, over time, revolving loan funds can also act as a funding source for housing trusts. they are seeded by funding sources and money received is recycled into new loans. However, over time, revolving loan funds can also act as a funding source for housing trusts.  Equity Investments – Housing trusts may facilitate or take an ownership stake in a project through equity investments; however, this is most appropriate for long-standing housing trusts. Equity investments would allow the Trust to become a co-owner of housing that it helps to buy or build.

Instead of lending money like a bank, equity investments would allow the Trust to share in profits (or losses) as the property value increases. There are forms of equity which do not include ownership or voting rights, and this should be considered carefully before embarking on this path.

Generally, this is a high-risk activity and should not be a priority for the Trust in its early years.

8 Housing Activities
Beyond the mechanisms by which a housing trust finances projects, housing trusts have some flexibility in what types of housing activities it chooses to fund. Housing activities are tailored to the specific objectives of each respective housing trust and can be prioritized based on local needs and gaps in the housing market. Such activities can include:
 Gap Financing for Housing Construction - Housing trusts can provide grants or “soft” loans for gap financing to assist developers in closing the gap between the market-rate rents or sales prices needed to make a project feasible, bringing the rent or sale of housing down to levels that low- and moderate-income households can afford. Further, gap financing can provide affordable housing developers with a competitive advantage, as they can leverage funds to acquire additional funding through state and federally administered programs. Gap financing for developments financed through Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) was identified as a potential priority in the Trust’s Strategic Plan. The Plan’s analysis suggested that the Trust aim to provide between $90,000 and $120,000 per housing unit (15% to 20% of the per-unit development cost) in gap financing to support the delivery of housing units throughout the San Bernardino region. Gap financing in this amount would result in approximately eight housing units for every $1 million in funds allocated to gap financing from the Housing Trust. Funding from local agencies, including a Regional Housing Trust, makes affordable housing developments more competitive for State funding programs, including LIHTC.
 Rent and Operating Subsidies – Affordable housing developments often need financial support after construction to ensure that the housing units can remain affordable for tenants. This is because the rents that are considered affordable to some lower-income households do not generate enough rental income for the project to cover its operating costs, including maintenance, staffing, debt service, and other payments. As such, funds may be needed to assist with ongoing operations of affordable housing such as maintenance and repairs and staffing. Housing trusts can provide support to offset these costs in the form of rent and operating subsidies. Housing trusts may consider implementing a rental and/or operating subsidy program to ensure long-term affordability for extremely low-income households. This intervention may supplement capital investments in affordable housing by stabilizing project cash flow and filling the gap between what tenants can afford to pay and the cost of developing and operating housing.  Housing Preservation or Rehabilitation - Preservation or rehabilitation of existing structures is often a lower-cost alternative to new construction. Housing trusts can help fund these activities to help maintain the existing housing stock and minimize housing displacement. This can include a focus on two types of preservation: 1) preserving existing deed-restricted affordable housing in need of rehabilitation or nearing the expiration of their affordability covenants or 2) acquiring and placing affordability restrictions on previously unrestricted affordable housing, sometimes known as naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH).
 Land Banking - Housing trusts can acquire and assemble properties and even look within existing public land inventories to seek key opportunity sites suitable for housing development.

Development rights can then be passed to developers through various mechanisms, allowing developers to leverage the value of land alleviating the development cost burden. Housing trusts

Page 123 of 312 ends

SEPTEMBER 2025
9 can support affordable housing developments, housing rehabilitation or preservation, or even shared-equity models such as community land trusts and co-operatives through land leases, land grants, or land loans.
 Housing and Services for those Experiencing Homelessness - Housing trusts can support the development and ongoing operation of emergency shelters, transitional, supportive, or permanent housing and accompanying supportive services for individuals experiencing or at-risk of experiencing homelessness.
 Predevelopment and Acquisition Activity Support – Funding can be provided for critical early-stage activities such as land acquisition, site assessments, architectural and engineering studies, environmental reviews, and permitting. These funds help reduce upfront risk for affordable housing developers and can accelerate project timelines by making developments more “shovel-ready” and competitive for additional funding sources. Under the most common affordable housing financing structures (e.g. LIHTC), developers are not paid until financing closes, so much of the upfront due diligence lies with the developer and financial assistance at this critical stage of development is welcomed.
 Local Agency Program Support - Housing trusts can provide funds to support existing local programs such as first-time homebuyer programs, homelessness programs, fair housing programs, or other programs that may need bolstering to support the housing need.  Community Land Trust (CLT) Partnerships – Resources can be allocated to collaborate with or fund CLTs to support permanently affordable housing. This can include acquisition of land, development subsidies, or technical assistance. By separating land ownership from housing ownership, CLTs ensure long-term affordability and community stewardship, making them a powerful tool for equitable development and anti-displacement strategies. Establishing CLTs requires a significant initial commitment to create a governance structure, build the organization’s capacity, and other important aspects of the partnership.
 Facilitation of the Welfare Tax Exemption – The housing trust may act as facilitator of the welfare tax exemption (i.e., property tax relief on qualifying affordable housing units) on behalf of developers, reducing administrative complexity and ensuring eligible properties and housing units receive the financial relief. Securing the Exemption can take months of coordination between the state and County assessor's offices, during which the property continues to be subject to property taxes on its market value. The Exemption reduces property tax burdens, freeing up cash flow and allowing income to be directed into other vital operational expenses and assisting with the reduced rents for the residents.
 Technical Assistance - Housing trusts can utilize resources to provide local technical support at the regional scale. This can include training, draft ordinances, and other guidance to help localities implement best practices for programs that can build housing funds, coordinate community benefits agreements, or other resources that can support housing related activities.

10 Recommended Funding Program
The recommended funding program is organized to prioritize those activities of the Trust which should take place in the early phases of the Trust. Only once the Trust becomes more established over time should it embark upon expanding its activities. For example, in its most simplistic form, the Trust should provide gap financing in the form of grants to eligible affordable housing developments that apply for such funding.

Based upon the Trust’s current administrative and funding circumstances and the housing needs previously described, it is recommended that the Trust prioritize its housing activities first to fund eligible new housing production and preservation and rehabilitation projects; then consider other programs and priorities.

In general, these categories should be considered the core functions of a regional housing trust because they supplement or enhance the similar activity of state and federal agencies in their affordable housing financial investments, thereby leveraging resources at all three levels of government to maximize production. Each category can be assigned shares of available funding from the Trust . However, it is important that the Trust Board of Directors have flexibility to allocate funds to affordable housing activities as it sees fit to remain flexible to respond to changing priorities and eligible projects in the region.

Moreover, it is vital that the Trust maintains a vision of providing gap financing for affordable housing as described in the Strategic Plan. The Trust can access various public funding sources to help finance its activities. Its funding would be available to applicants alongside numerous other affordable housing funding sources, including the following notable programs available from the state and federal governments:
 Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)
 HOME Investment Partnerships
 Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC)  Transformative Climate Communities (TCC)
 Multifamily Housing Program (MHP)
 Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program (VHHP)  HomeKey
Within each of these categories, Tables 1-3 below show a detailed list of potential housing activities. Table 1 shows the highest priority activities recommended for the Trust to establish in the near term, or 1-2 years.

Table 2 shows other important activities recommended for medium-term implementation, or 2-4 years.

Table 3 shows lower-priority activities that could be considered for future assessment and implementation as organizational priorities evolve in at least five years.

Together, these efforts shaped the recommendations in Tables 1-3, which outline a set of activities the Trust can pursue to address housing challenges across the region.

For each activity, Tables 1-3 identifies key implementation considerations, appropriate financing mechanisms, potential public and private funding sources, target populations, and phasing information.

Each potential activity informs which funding sources the Trust should pursue. In turn, the program

Page 125 of 312 ends

SEPTEMBER 2025
11 requirements of those sources, such as eligibility criteria, allowable uses, and regulatory constraints, will influence the financing mechanisms utilized and the target populations served.  Phasing Information – The tables are organized by implementation phase. The column in each table includes comments on the administrative readiness, complexity, and funding requirements.  Near-Term activities are those that can be launched within the first one to two years of the Trust’s formation, often requiring minimal infrastructure.
 Mid-Term activities are expected to be implemented between years two and four, once the Trust’s operational capacity has expanded.
 Long-Term activities are strategic in nature and may require sustained funding, advanced planning, or multi-agency coordination, making them more suitable for years four and beyond.  State and Federal Funding Sources – This provides a list of existing funding sources that a Regional Housing Trust could access, with one notable exception. California’s Local Housing Trust Fund program has been a reliable source of funding for numerous trusts over the last several years.

While this program’s funding was not renewed in the state’s 2025-26 budget, it is still noted as a potential public source because of its history and widespread support by housers throughout the state.
 Other Funding Sources – These may theoretically support a broad range of housing-related activities; however, in the context of the Trust and in this memo, they have been assigned strategically — particularly for activities where state and federal support is sparse or highly competitive. These include Predevelopment Activities, Land Acquisition, Community Land Trusts (CLTs), and Technical Support, all of which often lack direct funding streams from public agencies and are best served by flexible, locally driven resources.  Special taxes – Where special taxes are approved, these revenues may be earmarked to support affordable housing. These funds are especially useful for activities with ongoing or recurring needs, such as revolving loan funds or local program support.

12 Table 1. Recommended Near-Term Funding Activities
The following activities are recommended for the Trust to fund in the near-term (1-2 years) with its initial REAP 2.0 funding from SCAG. These near-term recommendations are based on the project team’s overall assessment of each proposed activity’s overall feasibility, track record, and risk. Broadly, these are funding activities with a strong feasibility and track record, and as such low risk, that would make them a priority for implementation in the San Bernardino Region.

18 Table 3. Potential Long-Term Funding Activities
The following funding activities could be considered by the Housing Trust in at least five years. For various reasons, these activities are not recommended as priority steps for the Trust, but are notable housing funding activities, nonetheless. These long-term (5 or more years) recommendations are based on the project team’s overall assessment of each proposed activity’s overall feasibility, track record, and risk. Broadly, these are funding activities with a lower feasibility and track record, and may have some risk, that would make them a lower priority for implementation in the San Bernardino Region. These activities should be further examined by the Trust after 2-3 of operation before being considered more fully.

22 Conclusion and Next Steps
While there are many options in what funding sources the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust chooses to seek, as well as approaches to financing projects, and a variety of housing activities the Housing Trust could support; it is important that the SBRHT remain flexible as external factors change while pursuing a program that is aligned with the vision, goals, and objectives of the Housing Trust. The activities and mechanisms identified here offer a menu of options that can be tailored over time, depending on the Trust’s administrative capacity, revenue generation, and evolving community priorities. In its early phases, the Trust should prioritize providing gap financing grants to local affordable housing projects. Projects should be those that respond to any notice of funding availability provided by the Trust, and should be ranked in accordance with the scoring criteria provided by the Trust. Sources of funding sought by the Trust should be widespread, with emphasis on programs that can generate funds within the region, to provide long-term flexible funding. In its early phases, the Trust should focus on pursuing funding and partnerships that can help secure the long-term success of the Trust. Once the Trust has secured significant funding, it can expand its administrative capabilities to additional activities and may consider other financing options such as soft loans or low-interest loans. The subsequent SBRHT Funding Strategy and Implementation Plan provides a 5-year strategy for laying a strong foundation for the trust through: fundraising, financing, monitoring the progress of the trust, and the ongoing maintenance of the trust.

1 Funding Strategy and
Implementation Plan
Purpose
The San Bernardino Region is facing a housing crisis, driven largely by a shortage of available affordable housing in the region. The drivers of the crisis and the broader housing needs are detailed in the Trust’s Housing Needs Assessment. The San Bernardino region has made an important commitment to help meet the need for more affordable housing. This commitment is in the form of the establishment of the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust (Trust). The Trust is one of many throughout California that will provide much needed funding to help increase the amount of affordable housing. The process of establishing the Trust has been underway since 2022, and the agency has reached an important point in planning for its financial future. This Funding Strategy and Implementation Plan builds upon supplemental documentation and research conducted for the Trust, including but not limited to the Housing Trust White Paper, the Strategic Plan, the Housing Needs Assessment, and the Funding Program Recommendations Memo. These documents provide essential supplemental information that lay the foundation for this Funding Strategy and Implementation Plan.

Housing trust funds often take several years from inception to show measurable success because they are built on long-term stability, rather than quick returns. The purpose of this plan is to establish actions that the Trust can take over the next 5-years, In order to obtain initial funding and lay the groundwork for ongoing success. This 5-year look ahead provides the Trust with a strategy for program development, fundraising, administering funding programs, monitoring progress, and maintaining the agency. Because the Trust has flexibility in how it approaches fundraising the housing activities it chooses to fund; the manner in which it chooses to provide financing; and additional options in its monitoring, administration, and maintenance; this plan organizes the strategy for the Trust in a manner that establishes the lowest risk and highest feasibility actions in the near term and increases in complexity in the long term. This is because over time the Trust will likely become more efficient which will enable the Trust to expand its strategy over time.

SEPTEMBER 2025
2 Affordable Housing Financing
Across the nation and throughout California, housing trust funds typically play a vital role in the financing of affordable housing, often being one of several funding sources of a given affordable housing development. The most common form of financing for affordable housing development in California involves Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). This funding source typically provides the largest financial contribution as part of what is called the “capital stack,” or the full set of funding sources an affordable housing development depends on to cover its costs.

Housing trust funds, including the Trust, can play the role of a gap funder, helping fill the gap in financial need between a project’s total costs and what can be covered by LIHTC or another major capital financing source.

Most affordable housing developments have numerous funding sources at various stages of the development process. The range of categories of permanent financing that an affordable housing development relies on typically includes:
• Equity: LIHTC equity or other capital subsidy
• Gap Financing: Additional funds from philanthropic or mission-driven entities, public agencies, and others  Debt: Short-term (predevelopment, construction or rehabilitation) or permanent loans from financial institutions
Within this broad framework, a typical affordable housing development relies on numerous sources of funding at three distinct stages of development:
• Predevelopment: When site control is sought, due diligence is required, and the project is being designed and financed
• Construction/Rehabilitation: During the construction process, when short-term loans are typically needed to pay for development costs
 Permanent: When a new housing development is completed and long-term debt, equity, and gap financing is brought in to subsidize operational costs

Page 139 of 312 ends

SEPTEMBER 2025
3 Figure 1 shows the capital stack of a typical affordable housing development at each of the three stages outlined above, with the critical role of a regional housing trust fund shown as a gap funding source outlined in red in the construction and permanent phases:

Providing financing through a grant or low-cost or forgivable loan on the order of magnitude of 15%-20% of the per unit development cost, or about $90,000 to $120,000 for a $600,000 per-unit development cost, can make a significant impact in meeting affordable housing needs at the regional and local level. As detailed in the Needs Assessment, local agencies in San Bernardino have a strong track record of having provided gap funding to affordable housing development at an average of $75,000 per-unit, but the need for more funding can be further supported by the Trust. Local funding is also critical to a project’s success of being awarded LIHTCs and other public subsidies; the state department governing the funding programs insists on regional investment to augment and leverage the tax credits. To produce new affordable housing, this amount of funding can support developments that rely on Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) as one of several other funding sources. To acquire and rehabilitate existing housing, especially unsubsidized housing, developments that have expiring rent- and incomerestrictions, or naturally occurring affordable housing that is at-risk of becoming unaffordable to lower-income residents, the developer can pair financing provided by the Trust and other sources with permanent debt to cover the entire cost of a project. The inclusion of multiple funding sources strengthens a project’s application for LIHTC awards by proving it’s financial feasibility and leveraging additional support. In this sense, the Trust can help Figure 1: Typical Affordable Housing Development Capital Stack $24.2M bank loan

4 localities meet housing needs both by making LIHTC projects more competitive by providing a local funding match, and by providing flexible capital to support qualifying projects. Moreover, the Trust can maintain flexibility by providing financing such as loans or grants wherever either can be more impactful.

Funding Strategy
By providing gap financing to affordable housing developments, the Trust will play a vital role in helping the region meet its housing needs. This plan paves the way to raise the necessary funds to implement the Trust’s goals and priorities.

The Trust currently has a $5 million Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). This funding is anticipated to be allocated as gap funding to select affordable housing developments by June 2026. Beyond this funding, the Trust is anticipating future funding coming from membership dues, the region’s Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Bank, and pursuing funding through grant and budget earmark pursuits. These future funding sources are an important starting point but alone do not set the Trust up to be a substantial, ongoing financer of affordable housing in the San Bernardino region. Therefore, this plan identifies numerous steps to help the Trust access additional funds. This includes the following thematic strategies:
• Legislative advocacy for more state funding
• Implementing the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority’s VMT Mitigation Bank and other innovative methods to generate funds locally
 Fundraising from private philanthropy, major regional institutions, and other entities In implementing the Trust’s funding program, it is vital that the Trust establishes a process and infrastructure to make funding available for affordable housing developments and other housing-related activities the Trust seeks to support. This process and the infrastructure it establishes will begin by making its SCAG REAP funds available through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), or similar process, and awarding selected projects. Because these projects have already been selected, they will not need to be evaluated, however, evaluation criteria should be developed to inform the selection of submissions under future NOFAs. This process can be refined, adapted and expanded in the future as the agency continues to implement this plan, making funds available in the most efficient and accountable manner possible for a given affordable housing program.

The funding strategy is organized below within three broad timeframes for actions: near-term (years 1-2), mediumterm (years 2-4), and long-term (years 5 and beyond). While years are assigned, these may change, as the trust should only move on to medium- and long-term strategies once it has secured significant funding to expand its administrative abilities to support additional strategies. Within each time period there are a set of actions the Trust can undertake, organized within the following headings:
• Housing Activities: The recommended housing activities, as indicated in the Trust’s Program Recommendations document, that are to be introduced or considered during the given timeframe • Fundraising: Strategies to secure new funding sources for the Trust to be able to finance its housing activities and agency operations. As noted above, beyond pursuing conventional public financing sources, this plan is focused on three thematic strategies to pursue new funding sources: Legislative advocacy for

Page 141 of 312 ends

SEPTEMBER 2025
5 more state funding; implementing the VMT Mitigation Fund and similar programs that can generate funding locally; and fundraising from private philanthropy, major regional institutions, and other entities. • Administering Financing: Steps the Trust would need to take to create and administer its financing for its housing activities.
• Progress Monitoring: How the Trust can monitor progress toward its goals during the specified time frame. • Administration and Maintenance: Organization and administrative steps the Trust should take to ensure appropriate staffing and infrastructure for its funding program.

Finally, it is important to emphasize that this strategy is being developed at a specific point in time considering existing resources and practices to fund affordable housing. The fundamentals of affordable housing finance and the need for additional funding resources as described in the Affordable Housing Financing section above will likely persist for years to come; however, the specific interventions necessary to address the financing needs are dynamic and constantly evolving. Therefore, the strategies below underscore the need for the Trust to regularly assess the region’s affordable housing funding needs. This includes regularly reviewing the Trust’s Housing Needs Assessment and affordable housing development pipeline, engaging with affordable housing developers and practitioners in the region, and to annually reassess the funding needs landscape in this light.

Near Term (Years 1-2)
Years 1-2 are essential for determining the Trust’s formation needs, including determining and building staffing capacity and partnerships, garnering interest from the community, and securing and leveraging initial funding to administer the Trust. Funding from membership dues should be utilized for administration, so that external funding can be pursued.

Housing Activities
• Gap Funding for New Affordable Housing Development –The Trust should prioritize providing gap funding for new affordable housing developments. Gap funding is a well-established practice for entities such as housing trusts to issue their funds, and have a strong track record of supporting affordable housing developments, primarily those seeking LIHTC awards. This activity could be established as an early win for the Trust, while more complex funding activities are being established or considered. • Housing and Supportive Services for those Experiencing Homelessness – Given regional needs and priorities, the Trust can prioritize gap funding for housing for those experiencing homelessness as well as funds to support operational needs. This presents an opportunity to partner with the County to leverage existing funds to support such efforts in the region. As funding and operating subsidies are more limited for this housing type, the Trust can fill this need in the near-term. A 2023 report by the UC Berkeley Terner Center for Housing Innovation found the average annual operating cost for a homeless housing unit was $17,000, based on data from 2019 to 2022. This number offers a meaningful starting estimate to determine the potential per-unit operating subsidy needed for such units.1  Issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to create a “bench” of pre-qualified developers and gain insight into current affordable housing development activity occurring in the Region. Creation of a “bench” could 1 UC Berkeley Terner Center for Housing Innovation, “Permanent Supportive Housing as a Solution to Homelessness: The Critical Role of Long-Term Operating Subsidies.” https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/PSH-Paper-June-2023- Final.pdf

Page 142 of 312 ends

SEPTEMBER 2025
6 provide an expedited pathway for developers to secure funding from the Trust, particularly for acquisition funding to purchase unrestricted affordable housing assets traded on the open market. The purpose of the bench would be to have pre-qualified developers who could access funds on an as-needed basis for projects that meet clearly stated criteria, rather than awarding funds competitively and giving developers narrow windows of time to apply for the funds. This would allow the Trust to approve developers who are qualified and experienced to be able to access the funds when they become available and are needed. Then, a developer on a pre-qualified bench could apply to the Trust when they have a suitable project. This way funds can be available on a rolling basis as projects arise. While the Trust would not have financing available on a rolling basis in the near-term, the creation of the bench is the first step in establishing such a process.

Fundraising
• Create a “power map” of potential funding partners, listing the private and philanthropic sectors. Use this list to guide outreach and inform relationship building. This can begin by identifying opportunities to work with major employers in the region, especially businesses in the logistics/warehouse industry such as Amazon, FedEx, and others, as well as other philanthropic or social-impact oriented entities. There are often local Anchor Institution Coalitions formed with major employers and institutions which are dependent upon the local work force. These anchor institutions are heavily reliant upon a qualified, steady workforce and investment into housing would be beneficial to all.
• Pursue membership dues to cover administrative costs. Membership dues should be based on an approved methodology
• Explore and pursue funding that provides one-time or recurring sources of funding (e.g., grant funding, legislative appropriations, member contributions, philanthropic donations, fees, etc.) • Work with lobbyists to seek State and Federal funding. This could be through State budget allocations, or through additional funds for new or existing grant programs such as the Local Housing Trust Fund Program (LHTF). LHTF funding has been fully allocated, and the 2025-26 state budget did not renew funding for this vital program. However, its renewal should be a legislative priority for the Trust. Furthermore, many regional employers, nonprofits, and public agencies utilize lobbyists, and consideration could be given to leveraging their findings with those of the Trust.
• Work with other housing trusts across California, as well as nonprofit affordable housing development associations (e.g. SCANPH), to advocate for State funding. Joining or creating an association of these likeminded entities for regular communication and relationship building to share data and information would have lasting impact.
• Pursue non-profit partners and establish a partnership to set up a donor fund for the receipt of charitable donations and other contributions. This will allow for tax-exempt contributions to the Trust. • Apply for eligible federal, state, and regional grant funding. Applying for grant funds should be a key function of housing Trust staff. .
 Pursue mechanisms that can generate funds locally such as the VMT Mitigation Bank, special taxes, or similar measures.

Administering Financing
• Update the Trust’s Housing Needs Assessment. Structure funding programs that best serve the overarching housing priorities, aligning capital deployment and financing terms with efficiency in mind.

Page 143 of 312 ends

SEPTEMBER 2025
7 • Create Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) documents including funding terms and conditions, application guidelines, and application evaluation criteria
• Review and fund 1st year NOFA projects, including issuance of enforceable commitment letters • Update and issue 2nd year NOFA
 Review and fund 2nd year NOFA projects, including issuance of enforceable commitment letters Progress Monitoring
• Begin tracking progress of affordable housing developments (especially those in predevelopment seeking funding) in the Trust’s area of operation. Track funding gaps and the reasons why projects are getting “stuck” to better understand how the Trust can intervene to expedite production. Lean on bench of developers for insight.
• Establish and maintain a webpage for the Trust. This should include projects funded by the Trust as well as regional progress in meeting housing needs.
• Prepare and submit an annual report to the Trust Board and members  Prepare annual review and update of the strategic plan Administration and Maintenance
• Determine staffing needs and hire contract-based staff to support the administration of the Trust. Based on experiences of similar agencies, a modest startup staff of 1-3 full-time professionals would be needed with additional consultant support to establish and administer the funding award process. This could be internal. The Trust has currently retained its consultant team of Dudek and LeSar to administer the funding award process for Year 1. The consultant cost for reviewing underwriting funding applications varies depending on the scope and scale of the Trust’s available funding, but in general public agencies spend $100,000-$380,000 per year on this outside expertise. The cost of administering loans could be built into each loan’s financing terms, meaning the costs would not be borne by the Trust itself. • Submit the annual report to non-member jurisdictions in the region • Solicit non-member jurisdictions to join the Trust
 Promote the Trust through the webpage, email blasts, speaking opportunities, and through meetings with the Board of the Council of Governments
Medium Term (Years 2-4)
The strategy pursued in the medium-term should build upon, and where possible, expand upon the actions taken in the near term. The steps provided in the medium-term should preferably be pursued once the near-term actions have been taken, and when the Trust’s administrative and financing capacity has expanded.

Housing Activities
• Deed-Restricted Housing Preservation or Rehabilitation – Funding aimed at preserving at-risk affordable housing due to extreme disrepair or expiring affordability covenants: This strategy requires coordination with existing property owners to repair housing and extend affordability covenants. Unrestricted Affordable Housing Prevention – Funding to acquire and rehabilitate unrestricted affordable housing and apply longPage 144 of 312 SEPTEMBER 2025
8 term covenants: This would involve investment in existing property in exchange for deed-restricted affordability. Funding should be made available quickly and flexibly for affordable housing developments to compete in the private market.
• Operating Subsidy - Works in conjunction with Gap Funding awards or acts independently to alleviate operational expense burdens and, in some instances, leverage additional debt financing. This strategy is most effective when regenerating a substantial pool of funds over time. • Local Programs Support – Funding provided to local governments to support their housing programs through block grants, matching fund programs, or performance-based agreements.  Technical Support – Technical assistance to help local governments may include trainings and draft ordinances that facilitate housing development.

Fundraising
• Examine the established non-profit partnership to determine if the Trust should file for 501c3 (or other) status. Under this scenario, the Trust may receive tax-deductible donations. • Pursue contributions from organizations such as Enterprise and LISC, including those who may be eligible for Community Impact Notes. This is funding provided as a loan from Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and requires the recipient to repay them, typically at market rate, meaning these funds would have similar terms to conventional bank debt.
• Continue to work with lobbyists to seek State and Federal funding • Continue to seek contributions from philanthropic donors, employers, and organizations • Apply for eligible federal, state, and regional grant funding  If loans are to be issued, consider how interest garnered can support administrative costs and financing  Continue to pursue mechanisms to generate long-term funding locally such as the VMT Mitigation Bank or other local measures.

Administering Financing
• Update the Trust’s Housing Needs Assessment and determine how to be most efficient with utilizing grants, soft debt, and hard debt.
• Structure funding programs that best serve the overarching housing priorities, aligning capital deployment and financing terms with efficiency in mind.
• Assess the amount of capital available to the Trust to determine the type of funding (e.g. grants or loans) deployed via the NOFA process
 Update and issue 3rd and 4th year NOFAs
Progress Monitoring
• Perform compliance monitoring for awarded projects in accordance with the Trust NOFA awards • Continue to update and maintain the webpage to track progress made by the Trust as well as regional progress towards housing goals
• Prepare and submit an annual report to the Trust Board and members

 Promote the Trust through the webpage, email blasts, speaking opportunities, and through meetings with the Board of the Council of Governments
Long Term (Years 5+)
The strategy pursued in the long-term should be built upon, and where possible, expanded upon the actions taken in the near- and medium-term. The steps provided in the long-term should only be pursued once the near- and medium-term actions have been taken and if the Trust’s administrative and financing capacity are able to address.

Housing Activities
• Land Acquisition – The purchase of suitable and advantageous lands for future affordable housing purposes. Acquisition loans could be structured as a recycled loan program. This would allow the agency to re-issue loans when repaid, further described below. Acquisition funds could also be used to capitalize a ground lease.
• Predevelopment Activities – Funding distributed to determine project feasibility and readiness, which includes studies such as environmental assessments, site surveys, and zoning analysis. Predevelopment loans could be structured as a recycled loan program.
• First-Time Homebuyer Program – A homeownership assistance program that reduces upfront financial barriers for qualified homebuyers. Services can include low-interest and long-term longs to provide down payments or closing cost assistance.
 Community Land Trusts (CLTs) - Nonprofits that create permanent affordable tenure by retaining ownership of the land while selling the housing unit at an affordable price.

Executive Summary
Housing supply is one of the most critical issues today facing all of California, including the San Bernardino Region.

California faces a significant housing supply and affordability crisis spurred by high land costs, rising construction costs, limited financing options, and other factors. These issues and challenges have become localized with compounding, interrelated impacts on housing supply, homelessness, and economies at the local and regional scale. A series of actions are needed at the local, regional, and statewide level to address these growing housing challenges. One such regional action is a San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust (Trust) fund, which can raise funds for affordable housing production, preservation and rehabilitation, and other affordable housing-related activities.

The Trust aims to provide a regional and programmatic approach to addressing housing needs throughout the San Bernardino Region.

This 2025 Housing Needs Assessment for the Trust is the second iteration and serves as an update to the 2022 Housing Needs Assessment, included in the Trust’s Strategic Plan. The Housing Needs Assessment reflects data at a point-in-time as it relates to housing in the San Bernardino Region and is intended to be a living document that is updated periodically. This report reflects data across the entire San Bernardino Region, encompassing all 24 incorporated cities as well as the unincorporated county. The Housing Needs Assessment provides a regional analysis of demographic and economic characteristics, housing challenges, and housing needs in the Region.

Key findings within this report illustrate the following:
▪ The cost of housing for both buyers and renters continues to rise. ▪ Increases in housing costs outpace increases in household income. ▪ There is a gap between income and housing costs for many households across the Region, leaving little remaining income for other essential needs such as transportation, healthcare, and education. ▪ There is a lack of sufficient State and Federal investment in the Region, especially in more rural areas, where there are higher rates of lower-income households. ▪ Much of the Region’s existing affordable housing supply is located within more urbanized areas. ▪ The large size and varying characteristics of the Region is reflected in varying housing challenges and costs associated with other factors such as transportation.
