OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

CITY OF VALLEJO
FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN FY 2025-26 THROUGH 2029-30

Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
A Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for cities, counties, and states seeking federal funding for housing and community development programs. It outlines a community's needs, priorities, and strategies for addressing those needs over a multi-year period, typically five years for the City of Vallejo ("City"). The City of Vallejo, with a population of 122,807 as of July 1, 2023, is the largest city in Solano County, California, and is located in the San Francisco Bay Area on the northeastern shore of the San Pablo Bay. The City's Consolidated Plan outlines how Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and HOME Investment Partnerships ("HOME") Program funds will be used by the City of Vallejo from Fiscal Years 2025-2026 through 2029-2030 (period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030), serving as a five-year roadmap for the City's housing and community development efforts. It also includes the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025–26 (period from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026) Annual Action Plan, which details specific goals, strategies, and funding priorities for the upcoming program year to meet the city's most pressing needs. The Consolidated Plan helps the City of Vallejo identify key community challenges and determine the resources needed to address them.

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The objectives and outcomes are outlined in the Strategic Plan sections of the Consolidated Plan.

3. Evaluation of past performance
During the Fiscal Years 2020-21 through 2024-25 Consolidated Planning period, the City successfully leveraged over $125 million in combined private, federal, state, and local funding to implement a wide range of housing and community development activities. A significant majority of this investment came from federal sources, reflecting strong utilization of HUD program funds.

The City made substantial progress toward meeting its stated goals, particularly in the following areas:

Evaluation of past performance has been completed through the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). These documents state the objectives and outcomes identified in each year’s Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Annual Action Plan and include an evaluation of past performance through measurable goals and objectives compared to actual performance. These documents can be found on the City’s website

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The citizen participation and consultation process can be found in the City's Citizen Participation Plan (CPP).

The CPP can be accessed through the City's website: City of Vallejo, CA/Our City/Departments & Divisions/Housing & Community Development/Housing And Community Development Document Library/Citizen Participation Plan.

The specific consultation and outreach process for the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan is outlined in section PR-10 of the plan. A variety of public outreach and citizen participation was used to develop this Consolidated Plan. Feedback from the 2025 Housing and Community Development survey was used to help establish priorities for the City, and was gathered through a series of housing and community development categories. A total of three public hearings were held; one before the draft plan was developed, and two hearings for the public to provide comments on the draft plan.

5. Summary of public comments
A summary of the public comments will be included as an attachment to the Citizen Participation section of the Consolidated Plan.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them There are no comments or views that were not accepted.

7. Summary
This five-year Consolidated Plan identifies the community’s affordable housing, homeless, community development, and economic development needs, as well as outlines a comprehensive and coordinated strategy for implementation of programs. The City will use its CDBG and HOME funds to leverage other public and private investment in order to address its goals and priorities.

91.315(I)

1. Introduction
The City of Vallejo's Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department will take the lead role in implementing its affordable housing and community development strategy for Vallejo over the next five years (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030).The HCD Department is responsible for implementing the City's CDBG Program, HOME Program, Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), and Housing Successor Agency (formerly Redevelopment) projects. Affordable housing projects and developments are completed through partnerships with non-profit and for-profit housing developers.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).

City employees from the HCD Department staff the Housing Authority, which administers the Housing Choice Voucher, Project-Based Voucher, Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS), and Veterans' Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Programs. The HCD Department anticipates contracting with a non-profit agency to facilitate education and homebuyer counseling programs. The Housing Authority of the City of Vallejo (HACV) and social service providers share information and target supportive services where possible on behalf of its FSS Program participants. Non-profit housing and social service organizations will be invited to submit proposals to the City, to address the highest priority affordable housing and community development needs in Vallejo.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness The Assistant to the City Manager represents the City of Vallejo on the Continuum of Care (CoC) Board for Solano County, known as Housing First Solano, ensuring that the City maintains an active role in regional planning and coordination to address homelessness. In addition, two City Council Members serve on the governing board of the Community Action Partnership of Solano (CAP Solano), a Joint Powers Authority that plays a key role in supporting homeless and safety net service efforts throughout the county.

The City collaborates closely with these entities to develop programs and supportive services aimed at maintaining a seamless continuum of care for homeless individuals and families. This includes initiatives that align with the goals and objectives of the City's Consolidated Plan.

City staff also provides technical assistance to partner agencies as needed, helping to:

Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 5
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Strengthen organizational capacity
• Identify and secure funding opportunities
• Support program design and implementation
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS Each year, CAP Solano receives housing project proposals for the homeless, including for permanent housing, transitional housing, and supportive services. The HUD Supportive Housing Program funds many of these programs on a competitive basis. For the last several years, the County of Solano has been successful in securing funding from HUD, the State, and private sources for homeless assistance centers, transitional housing, supportive services, and permanent housing. The City of Vallejo has been an active and participating member of the Continuum of Care in the County of Solano since its inception, and as noted above, the City's Assistant to the City Manager sits on the CoC Board. This provides guidance as to the City's choice of priority needs and funding allocations.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview

The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan, combined with input gathered through the consultation/citizen participation process, provides a picture of affordable housing, special needs housing, community development, and homelessness needs in Vallejo. Information contained in the Needs Assessment along with the Market Analysis drive the identification of the Consolidated Plan’s priority needs, which serve as the basis for the Strategic Plan and proposed projects to be funded in the Action Plan.

A primary need faced by many low- and moderate-income households is difficulty affording suitable housing. Cost burdens (housing costs that exceed 30% of a household’s income) and severe cost burdens (housing costs that exceed 50% of a household’s income) impact large shares of Vallejo renters with incomes under 50% of the area median income (AMI). Subsidized housing available through Housing Choice Vouchers, public housing, and Low Income Housing Tax Credit provide some affordable housing options for lower income households, however levels of need outpace the available supply of affordable units. Unable to afford or qualify for higher-priced units, some renter households live in lower-priced, substandard units with maintenance or rehabilitation needs. Housing condition also impacts low- and moderate- income homeowners, including seniors and young families, who may need assistance affording maintenance and upkeep.

In addition to housing needs, stakeholder input and prior plans identify a variety of public services and public infrastructure and facility needs in Vallejo. Among those are street and roadway improvements, crime prevention resources, affordable child care, workforce development, health and mental health services, and youth and senior programs. Stakeholders also identified the need for housing and services for people experiencing homelessness, including homelessness prevention, transitional and supportive housing programs, and permanent supportive housing.

Comments: Data was not available for this table on the US Census Bureau's website.

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.

Estimates of the number of non-elderly single-person households in need of housing assistance are included in the “other, non-family” category of Tables 9 and 10. This category also includes multi-person households whose members are unrelated (e.g. roommates, un-married partners, etc.). There are an estimated 3709 single-person or multi-person unrelated households with incomes under 80% HAMFI who spend more than 30% of their income on housing. As Table 9 shows, single-person or multi-person unrelated households comprise 28% of all households experiencing cost burdens. The majority (74%) are renters and the remaining 26% are homeowners.

As Tables 9 and 10 show, (1,055 households or 58%) of non-family households with cost burdens have housing costs that exceed 50% of their income. Renters make up 78% of severely cost burdened other, non-family households, while owners make up 22%.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

What are the most common housing problems?
Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 45
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Overall, the most common housing problem in Vallejo is cost burdens and severe cost burdens.

Approximately 46% of all households with incomes under 80% HAMFI in the city experience cost burdens (see Tables 6 and 9). Severe cost burdens affect 11,505 renter households and 7538 owner households, or 43 % of all households with incomes under 80% HAMFI (see Tables 6 and 10). For those households earning below 30% HAMFI, severe cost burdens have the greatest effect. As Table 10 shows, over one-half (1,890 households or 39%) of the 4,995 severely cost-burdened households are extremely low-income.

Although cost burdens have the greatest effect on Vallejo households with incomes under 80% HAMFI, overcrowded and substandard facilities also impact these residents. About 1268 households with incomes under 80% AMI experience overcrowding (see Table 11). Around 114 low- to moderate-income households live in substandard housing or lack complete kitchen or plumbing facilities (see Table 7).

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Cost burdens and severe cost burdens affect renters considerably more than homeowners (Tables 9 and 10). The largest share of renters affected by cost burdens are small family households (4470 or 39 % of the total) followed by other households (2770 or 24% of the total). Elderly households comprise 24% of cost burdened renters. In contrast, elderly households make up 41% of cost burdened owners, indicating that many may face difficulty affording mortgage payments, utilities, real estate taxes, and home maintenance/repairs on fixed incomes Renters are more likely than homeowners to experience overcrowding (Table 11). There are 1470 overcrowded renter households compared to only 235 owner households. Overcrowded renters and owners are more likely to be small families than multiple, unrelated family households. Cost burdens and severe cost burdens tend to skew toward households in the lowest income group (0-30% AMI). Thirty-nine percent (55%) of cost burdened renters have extremely low incomes. Among the severely cost burdened (Table 7).

Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:

No data/estimates on at risk populations.

Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 46
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
The most fundamental risk factor for homelessness is extreme poverty, leading to unaffordable rents or homeowner costs. Renters with incomes under 30% HAMFI and housing cost burdens over 50% are at risk of homelessness, especially if they experience a destabilizing event such as a job loss, reduction in work hours, or medical emergency/condition. Such factors may also put low income homeowners at risk of foreclosure and subsequent homelessness.

Substandard living conditions, including a lack of complete kitchen or plumbing, is also an indicator of homelessness risk. The 2015 CHAS data identifies 139 units without complete facilities, including 114 rental units and 25 homeowner units.

Discussion
To summarize, in Vallejo, (32%) of the population experience a housing problem. Cost burdens are the most common housing problem, which tend to have their greatest effects on extremely low-income households and small families. Severe cost burdens, too, have great impacts on extremely low-income households, as well as non-family households. Where overcrowding occurs, this housing problem also tends to have its greatest effect on small families.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Introduction
This section assesses the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole. The purpose of this assessment is to identify if any racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater needs than all other groups at this income level.

According to HUD, a disproportionately greater need exists when members of a racial or ethnic group at a given income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percentage points or more) than the income level as a whole. Tables 13 to 16 identify the number of households experiencing one or more of four housing problems by householder race, ethnicity, and income level. The four housing problems include: (1) cost burdens (paying more than 30% of income for housing); (2) overcrowding (more than 1 person per room); (3) lacking complete kitchen facilities; and (4) lacking complete plumbing facilities.

Income classifications include:
• Extremely low income- up to 30% of area median income (AMI); • Low income- greater than 30% AMI to 50% AMI;
• Moderate income- greater than 50% AMI to 80% AMI; and • Middle income- greater than 80% AMI to 100% AMI

Discussion
The preceding tables show that housing need increases as incomes become lower. For lowest income households in Vallejo (0- 30% AMI) (5305 households or 12%) have a housing need. The majority of these households are African Americans, of whom 5% have a housing need (2160 households). Hispanic households also have an above-average rate of housing needs at 2% (or 1025 households).

At low incomes (30 to 50% AMI), housing needs remain relatively common, impacting 9% of households (or 4045 households). Two groups have higher rates of housing need than the city as a whole, including African Americans (1160 households with needs or 2%) and Hispanics (1025 households with needs or 2%). The latter have a disproportionate rate of needs.

For the 50 to 80% AMI income category, the share of households with a housing problem is 4,490 at 10% African American and Asian households have similar rates of (2%). Hispanic however, have a disproportionate rate of needs at 1010 at (2.5%).

At middle incomes (80 to 100% AMI), 1,890 households have a housing problem. at (5%) The majority of these households are white (565 households) African American (495 households).

Asian households number 450, and Hispanic 315.

Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 50
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In summary, the groups that have a disproportionate rate of housing problems include extremely low income, and moderate income Hispanic, Black/African American and Asian households.

NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Introduction
This section assesses the severe housing needs of racial and ethnic groups at various income levels in comparison to severe needs at that income level as a whole. The purpose of this assessment is to identify if any racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater severe housing needs than all other groups at this income level.

Like the preceding analysis, this section uses HUD’s definition of disproportionately greater need, which occurs when one racial or ethnic group at a given income level experiences housing problems at a rate that is at least 10 percentage points greater than the income level as a whole.

Tables 17 through 20 identify the number of households with one or more of the severe housing needs by householder race and ethnicity. The severe housing problems include: severe cost burden, severe crowding, and lack of complete kitchen or plumbing facilities. The four housing problems include: (1) cost burdens (paying more than 30% of income for housing); (2) overcrowding (more than 1 person per room); (3) lacking complete kitchen facilities; and (4) lacking complete plumbing facilities.

Income classifications include:
• Extremely low-income- up to 30% of area median income (AMI); • Low income- greater than 30% AMI to 50% AMI;
• Moderate income- greater than 50% AMI to 80% AMI; and • Middle income- greater than 80% AMI to 100% AMI

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.

Introduction:

This section looks at levels of need by race and ethnicity to identify groups that are disproportionately likely to have housing needs compared to the city overall. While the preceding sections assessed all housing and severe housing problems, Table 21 focuses only on what share of their income households spend on housing. Data is broken down into groups spending less than 30% of income on housing costs, those paying between 30 and 50% (i.e., with a cost burden), and those paying over 50% (i.e., with a severe cost burden). The final column, “no/negative income,” identifies households without an income, for whom housing as a share of income was not calculated. Although several groups have households with no computed income, the share of these households is generally low, not exceeding 4% for any racial or ethnic group.

Discussion:

As Table 21 shows, 58% of all households in Vallejo spend less than 30% of their income on housing costs. Approximately 20% are cost burdened, spending between 30-50% of their income on housing costs, and an additional 21% are severely cost burdened, spending more than 50% of their income on Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 56

housing costs. Combined, 40% of the city’s households spend more than 30% of their income on housing (17,160 households).

By race and ethnicity, the share of households spending more than 30% of income on housing ranges from White 4,939 (11%), Black 5,230 (12%), Asian 2,830 (7%), Pacific Islander 130, Hispanic 3,305 (8%).

The data in Table 21 also allows for a comparison between housing cost burdens among white households and households of other races and ethnicities.

NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion – 91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? In several income categories, there are racial and ethnic groups with disproportionate housing needs relative to the needs of the income group as a whole. These include:
• Households with incomes under 30% AMI –White households have a disproportionate housing need and severe housing need. Hispanic, Asian, Black households also have a disproportionate severe housing need at this income level.
• Households with incomes from 30 to 50% AMI - Hispanic and Black/African American households have a disproportionate rate of housing need and severe housing needs. One other, relative group Asian) has disproportionately high rates of severe housing needs:
• Households with incomes from 50 to 80% AMI – Black/African America and Hispanic households have a disproportionate rate of housing need and severe housing need. Asian households also show a disproportionately high rate of severe housing needs. • Households with incomes from 80 to 100% AMI – Hispanics have a disproportionate rate of housing need No races or ethnicities show a disproportionate rate of severe housing needs. • Rent Burden: About 58% of renters in Vallejo are considered rent burdened • Severe Rent Burden: A significant portion pay over 50% of their income on rent • Black renters: 60% are rent burden (1)
• Latino renters: 55% rent burden (1)
• Low-income households (<$60,000) are especially vulnerable:
• 33% live in gentrifying tracts, increasing their risk of displacement. • Vallejo’s median household income is around $89,496, but many households earn far less (1) Housing readiness report

If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? Input collected during the community engagement process identified housing affordability for low- and moderate-income households as the priority housing need in Vallejo. Community members also discussed issues related to housing quality/condition for both rental and owned units. Stakeholders explained that low-income renters are often only able to afford units that are substandard and in need of repair and/or that have absentee or neglectful landlords.

In addition to housing needs, stakeholders identified the following needs experienced by low- and moderate-income households in Vallejo: transportation assistance, youth and teen activities, affordable childcare, affordable healthcare, resources for new moms, and youth centers with safe and affordable activities and programs.

Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?

Demographic data from the HUD PIH Information Center (PIC) indicates that the majority of Vallejo Housing Authority households are African American 1568 (85%). Eight percent (8%) of DHA households are white 396, while 1% is Hispanic.

Approximately one-eighth of DHA households house elderly residents.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:

The waiting list of the Housing Authority of the City of Vallejo does not track the need for accessible units. The HCD Department maintains a list of accessible units for the public.

Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders Current residents in public and other assisted housing units are most immediately in need of opportunities and supports to grow and attain a level of self-sufficiency. These supports include programs in areas such as transportation, health-related assistance, childcare, after school programs, youth and teen activities, adult education, and job training and assistance. Residents also noted needs for physical improvements in their neighborhoods, such as road repair, maintenance of existing playgrounds, and development of new parks.

How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The needs of public housing residents and voucher holders are different from those of the city's overall low- and moderate-income population, primarily in that these residents ae housed in stable and decent housing. With this need met, residents are able to work on other needs that families typically face in addition to housing insecurity. These other needs frequently include childcare, healthcare, employment, transportation, and food.

Discussion
In summary, public housing allows low-income households an opportunity to focus on other needs besides housing. While the VHA has a combined 2088 publicly supported units, these house less than one-fourth of the total number of households earning between 0-50% HAMFI. Housing need estimates and stakeholder input indicates that additional affordable housing resources are needed in the Vallejo.

Introduction:

This section provides estimates of the population experiencing homelessness in the region and details the needs of people experiencing homelessness in the city of Vallejo. Vallejo is part of the Housing First Vallejo/Solano County Continuum of Care. The CoC conducts an annual Point-in Time count of people homeless during the last days of January each year. The 2024 Solano County Point-in Time Count was a communitywide effort conducted on January 31, 2025. For this snapshot in time, it is estimated that there were 727 individuals either in shelters or living on the streets of Vallejo. 62 individuals were sheltered while 665 individuals were unsheltered.

If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):

The Point-in-Time Count data from 2024 found that 1,725 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in January in Solano County.

This is an increase of 546 people (46.3%) from the last full Unsheltered PIT count conducted in 2022. This year the number of people counted living unsheltered in Solano County increased by 56.1%. In 2022, Solano County counted 920 unsheltered homeless individuals while only 259 were counted in shelters. In 2024, 1,436 people were counted living unsheltered. There were also 289 people in shelters on the night of the count, an 11.6% increase from 2022.

Individuals accounted for 1,653 (95.8%) of the total homeless population. There were 72 people (4.2%) found in households with at least one adult and one child and 7 people (0.4%) in households with only children under age 18. Over the last ten years, Solano County has seen the total number of people experiencing homelessness counted during the PIT increase by 33.2% with the number of people living unsheltered increasing by 61.5%.

In Solano County, 42 of 289 people (14.5%) in shelters were determined to be chronically homeless whereas 462 of the 1,436 (32.2%) from the unsheltered count were determined to be chronically homeless. The number of people who reported experiencing chronic homelessness went up significantly in the 2024 Count

Within Solano County’s PIT count, 86 people identified as a veteran. This represents 5.0% of all adults counted on that night. There were no households or children found to be affiliated with any veterans. There were almost three times the number of veterans living unsheltered than those staying in shelter. Males made up 87.2% of the population with only 11 females total between sheltered and unsheltered groups. Within shelters, 1 veteran was determined to be chronically homeless and 27 of the unsheltered veterans were determined to be chronically homeless.

In 2024, Solano County counted 63 unaccompanied youth under 25 while in the most recent previous full PIT count in 2022, there were 66 persons under age 25. This represents a 4.5% decrease between counts. Additionally, 4.8% of unaccompanied youth were counted as under 18.

Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.

Within Solano County, people who identify as Black or African American constitute 13.1% of the overall population yet comprise 26.6% of the homeless population. While the numbers are smaller, there is also a higher prevalence of people who are American Indian or Native Alaskan as well as those who are Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders. While the US Census data indicates American Indian / Native Alaskans comprise 0.8% of the overall population this group accounted for 2.3% of the homeless population. Similarly, 1.2% of the population in Solano County is Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders yet

1.8% were found to be experiencing homelessness during the PIT Count.

Typically, people who are White, as well as Asian Americans, are well under-represented in the homeless population. However, within Solano County, the census data indicates 39.3% were White and

15.9% were of Asian descent and yet comprised 49.0% and 1.8% of the homeless population, respectively.

This year, HUD reassigned the Ethnicity Category of Hispanic/Latina/e/o to a Race Category. In Solano County 29.1% of the county’s population identify as Hispanic/Latina/e/o, while 18.7% the population experiencing homelessness identified as such.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:

This section discusses the characteristics and needs of people in various subpopulations in Vallejo who are not homeless but may require supportive services, including people with HIV/AIDS, the elderly, people with disabilities (mental, physical, or developmental), people with alcohol or drug addiction, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals with a criminal record and their families.

Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:

Elderly and Frail Elderly
• Vallejo has 13,709 residents ages 65-74; of those, 4207 (30%) have a disability. • Vallejo has 8,434 residents aged 75 and older; of those, 4127 (48.9%) have a disability. • An estimated 17,014 (13.9%) in the city have a disibality.

People with Disabilities
The figure below shows shares of the population within Vallejo with a disability, by disability type, indicating that the most common types of disabilities are ambulatory difficulties, independent living difficulties, and cognitive difficulties.
• With hearing difficulty: 4,551 (3.7%)
• With vision difficulty: 2,656 (2.2%)
• Cognitive difficulty: 5,323 (4.7%)
• Ambulatory difficulty: 9,822 (8.6%)

• Alcohol SUD: 16,663
• Stimulant SUD: 11,613
• Opioid SUD: 20,608
• Maternal SUD: 98
• Sedative SUD: 153

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Drug Abuse SUD: 12
• Other SUD: 136
Victims of Domestic Violence
The California Department of Justice (DoJ) reports the following Domestic Violence-Related Calls for assistance in Vallejo for 2023 (more recent data is not currently available through the DoJ):
• Weapon Involved: 398
• Total Strangulation and Suffocation: 22
• Total Calls: 398
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
The primary housing and supportive needs of these subpopulations (the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, persons with alcohol or drug addiction, survivors of domestic violence) were determined by input from both service providers and the public through the housing and community needs survey, public meetings, focus groups, and stakeholder interviews.

Housing that is Affordable, Accessible, Low-Barrier, and Safe High housing costs make it difficult for populations with special needs-- who often live on very low incomes-- to afford housing. Residents with special needs often live at or below the federal poverty level. Low incomes force many residents to live in congregate care, have roommates, or live with family.

HUD's fair market rent documentation for FY 2024 HOME program rents for a two bedroom unit in the Vallejo Metro area at $1,818 per month, and a three-bedroom unit at $2,092 per month. Because of the high cost of housing, there is a need to increase the availability of affordable housing for populations with special needs. This could include options such as: smaller housing units; multifamily 'missing middle' housing (including duplexes, triplexes, quadruplexes, and other small multifamily units); accessory dwelling units; co housing with shared services; and other housing types that support increased levels of affordability. Residents and stakeholders who participated in public meetings and stakeholder interviews also discussed the need to provide support and training to increase homeownership.

Housing may be inaccessible to populations with special needs for a variety of reasons. Persons with disabilities may find that their housing options are not ADA compliant, or outside of the service range for public transportation. People living with HIV/AIDS, immigrants and refugees, people with criminal histories, and other populations with special needs are often discriminated against in housing application processes. People living with HIV/AIDS have a particular need for low barrier housing that is free from requirements surrounding drug testing, sobriety, criminal background, and medical Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 76
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
appointments. For these reasons there is a need to ensure that accessible, low barrier housing is available and to take action to reduce discrimination, such as providing fair housing services.

For the elderly and frail elderly, people with disabilities, and others that may not have access to vehicles, there is also a need for housing that is accessible to transportation, recreation, and employment. Group homes and other housing options for seniors and people with disabilities are often located away from walkable areas with access to transit. These populations need housing options that are integrated into the community to provide access to needed services and reduce social isolation. Similar to other populations with special needs, people living with HIV/AIDS need housing that provides easy access to health services, resources, and employment.

Housing that is safe and clean is another need for people with special needs. Units that are not clean or have other unhealthy conditions can worsen health issues for people who are already vulnerable.

Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:

As of 2022, there were approximately 1,446 people living with HIV in Solano County, 1% with a rate of 322.1. Seventy (70) new cases were diagnosed in 2020, a rate of 1.4% rate of 15.6 per 100,000 population.

If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2) (ii)) There will not be a preference for persons with specific disabilities, however there will be a preference for homeless individuals, including those with disabilities.

Discussion:

High housing costs make it difficult for populations with special needs-- who often live on very low incomes-- to afford housing. Residents with special needs often live at or below the federal poverty level. Low incomes force many residents to live in congregate care, have roommates, or live with family. HUD's fair market rent documentation for FY 2024 HOME program rents for a two bedroom unit in the Vallejo Metro area at $1,818 per month, and a three-bedroom unit at $2,092 per month. Because of the high cost of housing, there is a need to increase the availability of affordable housing for populations with special needs. This could include options such as: smaller housing units; multifamily 'missing middle' housing (including duplexes, triplexes, quadruplexes, and other small multifamily units); accessory dwelling units; co housing with shared services; and other housing types that support increased levels of affordability. Residents and stakeholders who participated in public meetings and stakeholder interviews also discussed the need to provide support and training to increase homeownership And to support housing rehabilitation for low-income homeowners.

Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 77
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Housing may be inaccessible to populations with special needs for a variety of reasons. Persons with disabilities may find that their housing options are not ada compliant, or outside of the service range for public transportation. People living with HIV/AIDS, immigrants and refugees, people with criminal histories, and other populations with special needs are often discriminated against in housing application processes. People living with HIV/AIDS have a particular need for low barrier housing that is free from requirements surrounding drug testing, sobriety, criminal background, and medical appointments. For these reasons there is a need to ensure that accessible, low barrier housing is available and to take action to reduce discrimination, such as providing fair housing services.

For the elderly and frail elderly, people with disabilities, and others that may not have access to vehicles, there is also a need for housing that is accessible to transportation, recreation, and employment. Group homes and other housing options for seniors and people with disabilities are often located away from walkable areas with access to transit. These populations need housing options that are integrated into the community to provide access to needed services and reduce social isolation. Similar to other populations with special needs, people living with HIV/AIDS need housing that provides easy access to health services, resources, and employment.

Housing that is safe and clean is another need for people with special needs. Units that are not clean or have other unhealthy conditions can worsen health issues for people who are already vulnerable.

Specialized housing is often needed to target needs of specific populations, although the housing first model emphasizes that support services should not be required in order for people to access housing.

People with intellectual or developmental disabilities, people living with HIV/AIDS, and people with alcohol or drug addiction have specific housing needs that may be addressed through housing with wrap around services, such as case management, life skills, programming, and health services.

Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties in which the compliance period/extended use period ends or property owners can “Opt Out” of the program during the Consolidated Plan Period.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Cost burden data from the Needs Assessments clearly indicate that the availability of housing units in Vallejo does not meet the needs of the population. Cost burden data shows that affordability needs are particularly severe for renters with incomes under 30% of HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI), affecting an estimated 3,370 Vallejo households. On the ownership side, income and home value data indicate that starter home prices in the city are out of reach for many moderate- and middle- income households. Further, homes priced at affordable levels may have structural or other issues that would require rehab to make them livable.

Describe the need for specific types of housing:

Overcrowding is the second most common housing problem reported across all income ranges, highlighting a need for housing to accommodate larger families. However, as discussed in the Needs Assessment, there is also a need for more housing for single-person households. Unlike families that experience overcrowding due to the lack of housing units to accommodate the household size, single persons may be “overhoused” because they cannot find smaller housing. This exacerbates the cost burden for single person households.

Survey respondents also emphasized a need for elderly or senior housing, rehabilitation of affordable rental housing/apartments, construction of new affordable rental units, energy efficiency improvements to housing, and help for homeowners to make housing improvements.

Discussion
The City's housing stock consists of a majority 1-unit detatched structures. The available types of units do not match the need, resulting in limited supply, including overcrowding and cost burdens for many community members, especially low-income renters.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? This housing affordability data, when supplemented with cost burden data displayed in Sections NA-25 and NA-30, reveals a deficit in affordable housing stock across income levels.

How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
Affordability is likely to decrease as home values in the area rise and demand increases. This may affect both renters and those seeking to purchase a home.

How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The current Fair Market Rents (FMR) for the Vallejo-Fairfield area are as follows:
• Studio: $1652
• 1-Bedroom: $1852
• 2-Bedroom: $2308
• 3-Bedroom: $3199
• 4-Bedroom: $3643
The Area Median Rents for the Vallejo-Fairfield area are as follows:
• Studio: $1877
• 1-Bedroom: $2062
• 2-Bedroom: $2634
• 3-Bedroom: $3519
• 4-Bedroom: $3987
Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 84
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
As demonstrated above, area median rents in the City exceed the current Fair Market Rents. The City will prioritize developing permanent supportive housing and revitalizing the current stock of housing to support community members.

Discussion
The Area Median Rents already exceed the current significantly higher HOME rents/Fair Market Rents for the area. This trend is expected to continue and become more prevalent throughout the term of this Consolidated Plan. The City will prioritize funding for a homeownership program and rehabilitation for low-income homeowners. The City will also continue to support community partners that provide public services involving fair housing services for community members.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
The "selected" conditions of housing presented in the table below are like the housing problems in the Needs Assessment and are defined as (1) lacking complete plumbing facilities; (2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; (3) more than one person per room; and (4) cost burden greater than 30%. Updated ACS data for this analysis is not available; however, the data is consistent with the Housing Problems Analysis shown in Table 8.

Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":

Similarly, Vallejo defines substandard housing as having at least one of the following conditions:

1. Physical defects such as lack of complete plumbing (i.e., no usable flush toilet or piped water)

2. Lack of complete kitchen facilies such as an installed sink with piped water or a refrigeratior or does not have electricity or a safe source of heat.

3. Is overcrowded, with more than one person per room.

4. Meets the definition of Cost Burden (paying more than 30% of household income for housing expenses, or severe cost burden (paying more than 50%)).

Housing with a "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation" must be structurally or financially feasible. Vallejo will provide rehab assistance to address health and safety items and install weatherization measures even if a substandard condition exists. However, homes that need reconstruction are not suitable for the Rehab Program.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
In survey responses, stakeholders emphasized the demand for rehabilitation in the county coupled with the rising cost to preserve and maintain these structures. Seniors or those on a fixed or limited income oftentimes cannot afford to maintain their home or to make necessary safety accommodations. Stakeholders also noted that much of the housing stock is old and in need of weatherization improvements, which are costly. As costs of materials for new builds continue to rise, rehabilitation assistance for low-income families and those on fixed incomes such as seniors and those with disabilities will be an important tool in allowing them to maintain their housing and lessen the risks of homelessness.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards
Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 87
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
53% of owner-occupied units and 63% of renter-occupied units were built before 1980, respectively.

These units run the risk of containing lead-based paint hazards.

Discussion
Housing units built prior to 1980 may contain lead-based paint in portions of the home (window and door frames, walls, ceilings, etc.) or throughout the entire home. Housing units built before 1980 have a risk of lead-based paint hazards and should be tested in accordance with HUD standards. According to 2023 ACS data, there are 24,875 housing units in Vallejo that were built prior to 1980 and are therefore at-risk of lead-based paint hazards. There are 1,290 units with children. These risks increase as the housing units age and if the rehabilitation needs are not met. Testing for lead-based paint and the repair, if needed, is another added cost for home rehabilitation, there is a large amount of housing units built before 1980 that would benefit in getting tested.

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the extent those services are use to complement services targeted to homeless persons Two non-profit agencies in the City of Vallejo provide and coordinate a variety of supportive services for homeless individuals and families, and at-risk homeless persons. They are: (1) the Global Center for Success on Mare Island, established in 2005, which served over 200 unduplicated persons in 2024; and (2) Catholic Charities of Yolo-Solano which, through its Family Assistance Program, served over 500 temporarily homeless and at-risk homeless persons in 2024.

List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.

There is currently one emergency family shelter in Vallejo, the Christian Help Center, with 85 beds: 21 for single men, and 64 for women and their children. Renaissance Family Center is the only transitional family shelter, (24 beds). Safe quest Solano operates the only domestic violence shelter, for women and their children, (eighteen beds). The House of Acts operates in Vallejo; two of their facilities are an eight bed sober living residency for men, and an eight-bed house for women, both located in South Vallejo. Bi- Bett Corporation provides five emergency beds for adults in recovery from substance abuse (detox), and 30 beds of permanent sober living residency ("stage two housing"), for women and their children, and for single men, at two different facilities. His Lord's Fellowship provides twelve total transitional beds for single men, at two different locations.

The completion of the Homeless Navigation Center will add 125 new transitional housing beds to Vallejo's stock. The completion on Broadway Village will add 47 new Permanent Supportive Housing beds to the community. Both of these projects are anticipated to be completed in Q2 of 2025.

Community Action Partnership of Solano Joint Powers Authority (CAP Solano JPA) – a combined governmental agency that coordinates efforts across Solano County to reduce poverty and homelessness – commissioned the development of a 5-Year Regional Plan to Respond to Homelessness in Solano County at the direction of the County and Cities that make up CAP Solano JPA. The decision to develop a regional Strategic Plan was a collective one made by the jurisdictions, who came to realize that a regional approach was necessary to effectively respond to homelessness both immediately and in the long-term. The decision to collaborate on a regional plan was an unprecedented and significant step in Solano County. It represents a major victory for CAP Solano JPA and all the jurisdictions, and has the potential to transform how homelessness is addressed in Solano County.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment According to the updated Housing Element (2023-31),
The building permit review and approval process can affect housing costs. Lengthy processing of development applications can add to construction costs. Expediting review of developments that will offer lower- and moderate-income housing could be an incentive. Normally, building permit approval of single-family or duplex housing units in an area zoned for Residential Low Density housing development requires the approval from the Planning Division, the Building Division, Fire Prevention, Water Department, Public Works, and from the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District, none of which require public hearings, and would typically take 10 to 12 weeks, assuming no special site or environmental conditions requiring additional mitigation or study. Normally, construction of a multifamily housing complex in an appropriately zoned area would follow the same regulatory approval process and timeline.

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

The business community needs are specific education and training, or hard skills and soft skills. The top soft skills the business community is seeking are:
• Customer Service
• Problem Solving
• Interpersonal Skills
• Customer Service Skills
• Time Management and Flexibility
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.

Current economy allows for more employment opportunities for individuals with less skills. This results in individuals not investing in skill upgrades. During less successful economic time periods the skill upgrades are necessary for the individuals to be considered or maintained in employment.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The City has been challenged in recent years in its efforts to provide more job opportunities to its residents, as a high percentage of the workforce has historically commuted outside of Vallejo to work. City Economic Development staff and its partners will continue to work on the re-use and development of Mare Island.

Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.

The VHA shares information with appropriate agencies and service providers, and targets supportive services where possible, on behalf of Housing Authority clients who are participating in the FSS Program. This will assist the Consolidated Plan's efforts to support programs and activities that enhance family functioning, skill development, and educational opportunities for children, young adults, and parents.

Discussion
There is a critical need for employment training within the City, with a strategic focus on both hard and soft skills. Enhancing the skill set of the local workforce will contribute to greater social mobility while also reducing the disparity between the available job market and the labor force. Investing in comprehensive training programs will strengthen the economic landscape, ensuring that individuals are better equipped to meet the demands of employers and drive long-term workforce development.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
HUD defines four types of housing problems: (1) cost burden of more than 30%, (2) more than 1 person per room, (3) lack of complete kitchen facilities, and (4) lack of complete plumbing facilities. The HUD provided map shows the share of households within each census tract that have at least one of these housing problems.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") The City defines "area of racial and ethnic minority concentration" as any Census Tract or Block Group in Vallejo with a non-White population that is over 70 percent. There are certain 2010 Census Tracts and Block Groups in Vallejo where racial or ethnic minorities are concentrated, and which are located in CDBG neighborhood target areas. They are:
(1) the Florida-Hilton neighborhood in East Vallejo (Census Tract 2503, Block Group 2, which is 52.85 percent at 0 to 80 percent AMI); and
(2) Census Tract 2507.01, Block Group 2, in South Vallejo, which is 63.51 percent at 0 to 80 percent AMI.

Census Tract 2519.02, Block Group 2, known as College Park in North Vallejo, and which is 69.72 percent at 0 to 80 percent is not in a CDBG neighborhood target area.

One reason that a large concentration of non-Whites reside in Florida-Hilton and College Park is historic redlining by lending institutions, which predated the implementation of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), and other fair housing and equal opportunity laws and regulations What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? There is a strong connection between higher poverty areas, access to quality schools, and access to the labor market. There are few if any major employers, e. g., no large food shopping stores, located in Vallejo's CDBG neighborhood target areas, where disinvestment has occurred.

Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? There are a few city parks in the area, one large grocery store and the waterfront, which houses community events, a transit center, and a ferry terminal.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The Nimitz Group is now the controlling entity for development on Mare Island. They have retained the Southern Land Company to help transform the entire island from its former life as a naval shipyard into a vibrant mixed-use community that will include its historic core, a waterfront promenade with retail & Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 101

entertainment, and homes. Today, more than 100 businesses occupy millions of square feet on the island and employ more than 3,000 workers. There is an existing inventory of dozens of buildings representing millions of square feet of space. Mare Island has office and industrial spaces to meet almost any commercial need. Targeted industries for this commercial district include high-tech and biotech, as well as heavy industrial, light manufacturing, medical, professional and administrative companies. Additionally, with ample berth and dry dock areas, Mare Island is equipped to accommodate a wide variety of maritime uses.

The City will use its CDBG Program, HOME Program, to support neighborhood revitalization projects in neighborhood target areas, when opportunities are present.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.

While nearly all of Vallejo has access to some form of residential broadband service, analysis found that investment in networks—specifically, fiber networks—has not occurred consistently throughout Vallejo.

The near ubiquity of cable and DSL means that most residents have connectivity, but only select areas of the City have fiber as a competitive wireline broadband option. This lack of competitive alternatives for high-speed broadband is increasingly impactful as symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wireline service, offered most reliably over a fiber network, emerges as a de facto standard to fully participate in today’s digital world increasingly impactful as symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wireline service, offered most reliably over a fiber network, emerges as a de facto standard to fully participate in today’s digital world.

This update to the City of Vallejo’s Broadband Master Plan (originally prepared in 2016 by the City’s independent broadband consultants, CTC Technology & Energy) addresses broadband in the City of Vallejo through the lens of digital equity. To prepare this update, CTC analyzed the current state of reliable high-speed internet connections in the City in terms of access to infrastructure, affordability, access to devices, digital literacy, and training. Those data and insights informed the development of actionable recommendations, including identification of potential federal and State funding sources that might enable Vallejo to address its community’s needs.

Closing the digital divide: recommending opportunities to develop community resources to help all Vallejo residents connect to the internet via comparable, high-speed connections.

Increasing competition: helping the City to utilize existing resources and encourage new partnerships to bring more internet service providers’ (ISP) networks and services to the City.

Maximizing the use of City assets: recognizing the work the City has already accomplished over the past five years and building on that work to ensure that City assets (e.g., data connections to municipal facilities, municipal fiber routes, and existing conduit) are part of a comprehensive connectivity strategy.

Severe housing problems are considerably more prevalent in the lowest income categories. 0%-30% AMI Jurisdiction as a whole 4,830 households have severe housing problems at (12%). 2045 Black/African American households at (5%). 535 Asian households at (1%). 900 Hispanic Households at (2%) 30%-50% AMI Jurisdiction 1,895 households have severe housing problems at (5%). 440 Black/African American households at (1%). 455 Asian households at (1%). 460 Hispanic Households at (1%) Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 103
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
However, the western parts of the City see both lower rates of computer ownership (as seen in Figure 2) and higher overall participation in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (as seen in Figure 9). Not surprisingly, there is a loose correlation between these areas and the areas with higher rates of poverty, as seen in Figure 1. It is important for the City to recognize that even in areas with three or four choices for broadband service—cable, fixed wireless, DSL, and in some instances fiber—these neighborhoods and communities are not adequately connected due to affordability and device access concerns. It is also likely that these same communities are lacking in digital literacy skills and the comfort with the technology to support online learning and telemedicine for example. These data inform the recommendations to focus the City’s digital equity efforts.

Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.

To understand the current service offerings available to Vallejo residents, a market assessment was conducted between December 2021 and January 2022. This process of researching the service offerings of ISPs operating in Vallejo included online and phone conversations with representatives of ISPs to collect market data on residential broadband pricing, availability, and level of competition in the area.

Leaving aside satellite providers, which do not provide consistent or adequate residential broadband speeds or service quality, there are four main residential broadband ISPs in the City:

AT&T offers DSL services through almost all of Vallejo, as well as fiber services in select areas.

Comcast is the dominant cable provider and serves nearly the entire City.

Sonic provides DSL services in scattered areas of downtown Vallejo.

T-Mobile offers its wireless Home 5G service throughout some of the City.

CTC randomly selected residential addresses in respective providers’ service areas to determine available service offerings and advertised pricing and terms.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

Vallejo, situated in Solano County, faces a relatively high risk of natural disasters such as droughts, floods, and earthquakes. The areas’ proximity to the San Pablo Bay and San Francisco Bay increases the likelihood of flooding, especially during heavy precipitation events. Additionally, Vallejo is located near several fault lines, including the San Andreas fault, which poses a significant earthquake hazard. The region’s geological features, such as mountain peaks and water bodies, also contribute to the overall hazard risk.

Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.

Generally, more vulnerable and LMI populations are at greater risk of being impacted by natural disasters, especially flooding, due to geographic location, housing structure, or both. Historic zoning policies and demographic migration trends have resulted in low income and minority populations often residing in more undesirable and low-lying areas that are more prone to flooding or are closer to floodplains. These areas also tend to be where trailer parks and mobile homes are located, putting them at greater risk. Mobile homes and manufactured housing units are typically more affordable for LMI populations, but the lack of a foundation and/or other structural elements puts those living inside these units at greater risk of straight-line wind activity and tornados, as well.

Climate factors in Vallejo include moderate temperatures and high humidity, creating conditions conducive to wildfires during dry periods. The areas’ vulnerability to extreme weather events is further exacerbated by its location in a hydrologic region known for its susceptibility to flooding. Historical events like the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes, serve as a reminder of the potential for catastrophic natural disasters in the region. Vallejo’ s landscape characterized by hills and valleys, adds to the complexity of the hazard risk assessment.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
This strategic plan will guide the allocation of HUD funding during the 2025-2029 planning period to address Vallejo’s most critical needs. Goals for the 2025-2029 period focus on high priority needs identified through data analysis; community input; consultation with City staff, elected officials, and partner agencies; and a review of relevant recently completed plans and studies. The priority and goal sections of this strategic plan describe anticipated activities within the City. The City relies heavily on partnerships to achieve its Consolidated Plan goals. The Housing and Community Development Department anticipates continuing to work with other City departments, the Vallejo Housing Authority, local nonprofit and housing agencies, and others to address priority needs.

Grantees are required to submit new Consolidated Plans at least 45 days before the start of its program year. Vallejo’s program year runs from July 1 to June 30. Because of the required 30-day comment period, the City conducted the second of two required public hearings on the plan May 20, 2025. HUD instructs grantees not to submit plans until HUD has released its annual funding allocations. At the time of the second public hearing, Congress had not yet approved HUD’s budget for FY 2025 which began October 1, 2024. The City has since received the FY 2025 funding levels. The sections requiring specific funding levels was initially built on the assumption of level funding for the five years, with a funding level of FY 2024 program year: CDBG - $1,007,083 and HOME - $463,688 per year. These amounts have been proportionally decreased from the estimated funding levels described here in to match actual allocation amounts of:

CDBG- $991,521.00 and HOME- $0
Should the City determine at any point during the life of this plan that a substantial amendment is required, it will follow the procedures described in the City’s Citizen Participation Plan.

General Allocation Priorities
Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA)
In Vallejo’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City designated five local target areas. Based on feedback from consultations, public hearings, and surveys, the City has decided not to restrict its activities to Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 110

specific areas. With downpayment assistance a high priority and given the tightness of the local single- family home market, prospective homeowners will need the flexibility to pursue available properties anywhere in the city.

All affordable housing and community development projects and services will be made available Citywide. Many of the participants in the City's various community development and affordable housing programs will also reside in CDBG neighborhood target areas. Eligibility for these services on a direct or indirect basis will be based on a person's annual household income.

Table 52 - Institutional Delivery Structure
Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The major strength of the delivery system will be that the work of the City, the Housing Authority, and non-profit and for-profit entities will be closely coordinated. Gaps in the delivery system are anticipated to be minimal and will be related to a lack of resources to implement the necessary activities or to expand programs, rather than inadequate institutional capacity.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
According to the updated Housing Element (2023-31),
The building permit review and approval process can affect housing costs. Lengthy processing of development applications can add to construction costs. Expediting review of developments that will offer lower- and moderate-income housing could be an incentive. Normally, building permit approval of single-family or duplex housing units in an area zoned for Residential Low Density housing development requires the approval from the Planning Division, the Building Division, Fire Prevention, Water Department, Public Works, and from the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District, none of which require public hearings, and would typically take 10 to 12 weeks, assuming no special site or environmental conditions requiring additional mitigation or study. Normally, construction of a multifamily housing complex in an appropriately zoned area would follow the same regulatory approval process and timeline.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing (1) Development costs may be reduced through fee subsidies, property acquisition, rehabilitation, and other mechanisms. (2) The cost of public facility improvements (e. g., a Homeless Navigation Center), in neighborhood target areas will be supported with CDBG Program and private or in-kind funds. (3) The City will work with a non-profit partner to expand opportunities for very low- and low-income first time homebuyers. (4) The City uses an environmental review planning process for the development of large geographic areas, that includes an expedited CEQA review for projects within a Specific Project Area, which reduces EIR and pre-development costs.

The City will encourage a variety of housing types, including duplexes, townhomes, apartment buildings, and condominiums, in neighborhoods and new subdivisions and will identify innovative and alternative housing options that provide greater flexibility and affordability in the housing stock while promoting mixed-income development. This may include consideration for further reduction in regulatory barriers for community land trusts, tiny houses, microhomes, cottage homes, small lot subdivisions, and other alternative housing types, as well as exploration of a variety of densities and housing types in all zoning districts.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City has established a Navigation Center, which includes supportive services, in order to assist the homeless persons that the City.

Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City will provide supportive services at the Homeless Navigation Center and plans to use HOME- American Rescue Plan Program funds.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

The City received $1.6 million from health care providers to operate the Homeless Navigation Center.

Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs
CDBG Program funds will be allocated to support non-profit agencies that prevent low-income individuals and families, particularly those exiting public systems or receiving assistance, from becoming homeless.

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards Lead-based paint educational materials, inspections, and referrals will be made available to Housing Choice Voucher Program participants, and participating rental property owners, as well as to prospective first-time homebuyers or housing rehabilitation loan recipients.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? It is estimated that at least 125 households in the City may contain lead hazards. The activities noted in the previous response will help to arrest and reduce lead-based paint in the housing stock within the community during the life of the Plan.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? Contractors performing work on City-assisted affordable housing units must be lead-certified, per HUD requirements.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families Through direct assistance, and indirect benefit from neighborhood and public facility improvements.

Strategies will include such things as: targeting resources to programs and activities benefitting extremely low- and low-income households; and encouraging supportive service linkages with job training, education, and employment services for families and individuals living in poverty. The Housing Authority of the City of Vallejo shares information and targets supportive services, where possible, on behalf of its FSS Program participants; supporting programs and activities that enhance family functioning, skill development, and educational opportunities for children, young adults, and parents; developing programs and facilities to fill gaps in the continuum of care for homeless persons, including homeless prevention and permanent supportive housing.

How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
CDBG Program funds will be allocated for substance abuse prevention and recovery, and homeless case management and information and referral. These programs are intended to remove obstacles to self-sufficiency. In past years, the City has allocated funds in support of emergency shelter expansion, and operating and renovating sober living facilities and domestic violence shelters, for the homeless and other low-income populations. Case management and supportive services offered by the agencies operating these facilities are geared to stabilizing the individual's or family's situation, through a combination of life skills training, including parenting skills, and the development of a plan for education, job training, job search, resume preparation, computer literacy, and eventually, permanent housing.

SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
Pursuant to the HCD Deprtment's CDBG Program and HOME Program Policy and Procedures Manual, the City will conduct monitoring reviews to determine whether programs are in accordance with this Plan and HUD requirements, are timely, and that information entered into HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System is correct and complete, including the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation report. Quarterly and annual progress reports required by funding sources will also be completed. Information on the expenditures and the lease-up rate will be submitted monthly into HUD's Voucher Management System. The City will also compile, periodically, inventories of any current development projects, ascertain vacancy rates, and conduct rent surveys for purposes of rent reasonableness.

The City will prepare an annual report on progress made through all housing programs, as required by the Housing Element of its General Plan. The City's Planning Division will implement this in conjunction with its annual review of Housing Element implementation.

The City anticipates receiving inquiries from minority and women-owned businesses, contractors, and subcontractors who wish to participate in the City's federally-assisted affordable housing development programs. They will be sent a copy of the program's contractor's list, and subcontractors will be encouraged to contact each general contractor on the list for work. The City's minority outreach efforts will include such things as: (1) sending or posting copies, as applicable, of plans and specifications for federally-funded programs and projects to the City website and small business exchanges, and (2) including MBE/WBE language in all public notices and advertisements, including periodically utilizing the City's local cable television access channel.

CDBG funds may be used for housing counseling as part of several other activities that are not subject to the public service cap: Housing counseling as an activity delivery cost of direct homeownership assistance.

Many jurisdictions require prospective homeowners to attend housing counseling classes as part of a direct homeownership assistance program. Housing counseling could be considered an activity delivery cost of such a direct homeownership assistance program carried out under §570.201(n) and Section 105(a)(24) of the HCDA when the program serves low- and moderate-income households. When direct homeownership assistance is
provided to an LMI homebuyer, housing counseling that is required as part of the application for direct homeownership assistance will be considered to meet the same lowand moderate-income housing national objective [24 CFR 570.208(a)(3) and 24 CFR 570.483(b)(3)]. If the prospective homeowner leaves the homeownership
assistance program or housing counseling prior to purchasing a home, the housing counseling will
be considered to meet the LMC national objective.

The responses to this section are shown below.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City has established a public facility to be used as a Navigation Center to assess and address the needs of homeless persons.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Navigation Center will include shelter services for homeless, unsheltered persons.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City will complete the Broadway Village project, a new permanent supportive housing project for homeless persons.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The City and its Housing Authority will coordinate services and referrals where appropriate with selected non-profit organizations that provide supportive services to homeless persons.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

The City of Vallejo continues to identify plans to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing.

The City of Vallejo will continue to maintain a vacant land inventory for residential, commercial, and industrially zoned parcels. In considering development applications and/or pending changes in local land use policy, the City of Vallejo will place a priority on activities (i.e., expedite permits when possible) that support the City’s ability to meet its unmet share of the regional housing need. The vacant land inventory was originally created with the adoption of the 5th cycle Housing Element update. The City also created a streamlined process to expedite accessory dwelling unit (ADU) construction to help meet the City’s share of the regional housing need.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
The cost of public facility improvements will be supported by the City's CDBG Program and other funds obtained by the City, to construct and open a navigation center for homeless persons. The City will provide expedited California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review for larger housing projects that are within a Specific Plan Area. The State of California Senate Bill 35 (SB35) review and approval process will be used for affordable housing projects where possible.

Discussion:

In FY 2025-26, the City will provide additional support for the operation of a navigation center for homeless persons.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

Listed below are planned actions for the coming program year to overcome challenges in serving underserved populations, promote and preserve affordable housing, assess and mitigate lead-based paint risks, decrease the number of families living in poverty, strengthen institutional frameworks, and improve collaboration between public and private housing providers and social service organizations.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacle to meeting underserved needs is related to a lack of sufficient funding to complete and implement activities that are needed, and to expand needed programs. Therefore, no actions are planned in this area.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Using a variety of funding sources, in FY 2025-26 the City will continue to seek opportunities to establish increased affordable rental and owner-occupied housing
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Lead-based paint hazard educational materials, inspections, and referrals will be made available when necessary to Housing Authority-assisted Housing Choice Voucher holders, as well as participating and prospective rental housing owners, and if applicable, to prospective first-time homebuyer, housing rehabilitation, and paint grant recipients.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City recognizes the need to prioritize anti-poverty efforts, and will continue to support existing programs in FY 2025-26. Family self-sufficiency programs with supportive services will continue to be a key component of the City's anti-poverty strategy. Coordination with social service agencies that administer programs such as Child Start, assistance to families in crisis, and similar social services will be necessary to prevent duplication of effort, and to ensure a maximum of opportunities for extremely low- income and very low-income persons, (at 0 to 50 percent). The City will facilitate projects to meet community needs, which may help reduce the number of households in Vallejo living in poverty.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
To carry out the FY 2025-26 Annual Action Plan, the City has an existing institutional structure that is already well-developed and strong, through a network of government agencies, non-profit agencies, and

Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 160
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
private organizations.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
Both the City and private healthcare providers will assist in funding the operation of the Homeless Navigation Center for the unhoused population.

Discussion:

The City has been successful in leveraging funds from health care partners, the State of California, and the federal government to address the needs of unsheltered homeless persons. The City will support social service providers with its CDBG Program funds that work to reduce the number of households living in poverty.

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:

Participating jurisdictions (PJs) may use one of two methods to establish long-term affordability in homebuyer activities – “Recapture” or “Resale” -- and the determination of the method must be made prior to giving the assistance to the homebuyer. The provisions are also required to be described in the PJ’s written agreement with the homebuyer. Resale provisions are used to ensure that a HOME-assisted homebuyer unit remains affordable during the entire affordability period. The Resale option is typically used in areas with predominantly high home sales prices, areas subject to rapidly appreciating housing costs, and areas with a shortage of affordable homes for sale.

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

The City designates the affordable unit to be assisted up-front through the written agreement and other loan documents with the project developer/owner. The property must be sold to a qualified low income homeowner at 80% or less of the AMI who will occupy the home as their principal residence, the homebuyer must receive a fair return on investment that the PJ defines, and the property must be re-sold at a price that is affordable to a reasonable range of low income buyers.

The City’s resale provisions require the homeowner to sell the home to an income-eligible household during the affordability term and to follow certain prescribed processes regarding the resale of the home (including written notification to the City, city certification of the prospective purchaser’s income eligibility, sale of the unit at an affordable housing cost to an eligible household, and requirement that the new purchaser enter into a new affordability covenant with the City).

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

Not applicable.

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

Not applicable at this time.

6. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific

Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 163
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
category of individuals with disabilities (e.g. persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and 91.220(l)(2)(vii)).

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

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