Adjournment

Item Number: 1
City Council / Board of Directors
Public Hearing(s)
Meeting of: May 7, 2024
Submitted By:

Scott Webb, City Planner

Subject:

Approval request for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required draft Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, allocating Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds.

Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Conduct a public hearing to receive citizen, public and agency comments regarding the draft Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan;
(2) Approve Resolution No. 24-033 - Adopting the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, as presented for submittal to HUD, which contains the funding recommendations made by the Community Planning and Development (CPD) Grant Subcommittee; (3) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents for submittal to HUD; and
(4) Approve the continued inclusion of operating restrictions for food distributors/ providers, as recommended by the CPD Grant Subcommittee, within applicable subrecipient contracts.

Fiscal Impact:

Taking action in accordance with the staff recommendation will appropriate approximately $1,987,246 in fiscal year 2024-2025 Federal CDBG and HOME funds allocated to the City of Victorville and will reallocate $450,000 in fiscal year 2022-2023 & 2023-2024 CDBG funds to be dispersed to eligible applicants as outlined in the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. Fiscal year 2024-2025 CDBG funding includes a total allocation of $1,381,396 that has no matching requirement, while HOME funding includes a total allocation of $605,850, which has a matching requirement that has been waived by HUD due to the City being considered in fiscal distress (based upon poverty rate and per capita income). Except for CDBG and HOME administration costs not covered in full by limited 3 6
0 4
grant allowances (e.g. portions of City staff time, facilities use, etc.), the subject funding will not utilize City monetary assets.

In summary, the City of Victorville’s annual budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 shall reflect additional revenue and expenditures in the amount of $1,381,396 (CDBG - City Org. 2813025) in Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Federal CDBG allocations, $605,850 (HOME – City Org. 2823027) in Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Federal HOME allocations, and $450,000 (CDBG – City Org. 2813025) in reallocated CDBG funding from Fiscal Years 2022-2023 & 2023-2024.

Strategic Plan Goal:

Approval of the draft Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan will formally allocate available CDBG/HOME funds, as well as reallocate previously received CDBG funds, which will enable the City to further fulfill the following Goals outlined in the 2024-2026 Strategic Plan:
• Goal A (Financial Sustainability) – Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds represent funding opportunities that require limited financial commitments while ensuring greater availability of general fund resources.
• Goal D (Reduce Homelessness) – Eligible activities such as public service and housing projects are aimed to directly benefit the homeless population as well as those at risk of homelessness, providing the City an opportunity to expand the outreach network and partnerships.

Executive Summary:

The purpose of the request for approval of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan (Attachment A) is to allow the City of Victorville to apply for and obtain Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funding, which is a one-year allocation plan intended to implement the previously adopted 2022- 2026 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan). The Annual Action Plan is the formal means to apply for CDBG and HOME funds per federal standards and approval of this document will direct the allocation/reallocation of over $2.4 million in CDBG and HOME funds during fiscal year 2024-2025. In accordance with the priority needs and goals outlined in the 2022-2026 ConPlan, the Annual Action Plan directs yearly funding to programs that also meet the national objectives of benefiting low and moderate income persons, aids in the elimination of slums and blight, and meets local community needs. A brief synopsis of the ConPlan and Annual Action is provided below.
2022-2026 Consolidated Plan
•A five-year planning document that was last approved on April 19, 2022, and is utilized to guide the City’s use of CDBG and HOME funds through June 30, 2027. •Based upon community input received through two in person workshops in Old Town Victorville, five separate community stakeholder meetings, a digital and written survey, 3 6
0 4
as well as two City Council public hearings on the item, the ConPlan established priority needs and set goals with quantifiable deliverables to ensure the federal funding is spent in a manner that benefits the residents of the City of Victorville, specifically low- and moderate-income residents.
•The ConPlan is supported by additional studies such as a Housing Needs Assessment, a Housing Market Analysis, an Analysis of Impediment to Fair Housing Choice, and other strategies to ensure the ConPlan reflects local issues of importance in a manner suited to address the City’s priorities.
•The City reports yearly on the progress made in meeting the goals outlined in the ConPlan through the completion of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to confirm funds are being directed in a manner consistent with the ConPlan.
2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
•Attachment B contains the funding components of the FY 2024-2025 allocation of $2,437,246 in CDBG/HOME funds, which includes $450,000 of reallocated CDBG funds and $605,850 of HOME funds.
•The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan is the third year of the five year cycle of the 2022- 2026 ConPlan and directs the use of new federal funding from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
•The Action Plan establishes a one-year expenditure plan for the use of HUD funds and enables the implementation of the priority housing and community development needs identified in the 2022-2026 ConPlan.
•Funding recommendations are based upon qualified proposals that are compliant with the priority needs outlined in the ConPlan, their feasibility to utilize funding in accordance with the ConPlan and federal standards, as well as the availability of funds. Final recommendations are made by the CPD Grant Subcommittee after reviewing and analyzing all applications in a public meeting.

Background:

CDBG/HOME & CDBG-CV Funding Administration
The City of Victorville is a recipient of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds, which include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Grant (HOME) that are administered by HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD).

The Planning Department is responsible for the administration of the City’s CDBG and HOME grants. CDBG & HOME funded programs and projects must reflect the needs outlined in the City’s Consolidated Plan (ConPlan). The ConPlan is a five-year planning 3 6
0 4
document required by HUD from all communities receiving community development funds. The ConPlan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the ConPlan. The current ConPlan was originally approved by the City Council on April 19, 2022, for fiscal years 2022-2026. The following two subsections of this report describe the process for this coming year’s Annual Action Plan for CDBG and HOME funds. 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan Process
On December 19, 2023, the City Council appointed Mayor Becerra and Mayor Pro Tem Harriman to serve on the Community Planning and Development (CPD) Grant Subcommittee. The purpose of the CPD Grant Subcommittee with regard to CDBG/HOME grant programs is to review all eligible grant applications and determine consistency with the needs and goals established in the City’s Consolidated Plan.

On March 5, 2024, the City Council conducted a public hearing to obtain citizen, agency, and prospective applicant comments regarding the City’s needs and strategies for the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. Following the public hearing, the CPD Grant Subcommittee met on March 26, 2024, to review and recommend allocation of $1,831,396 of CDBG funds, which includes $450,000 of reallocated funds (Attachment B), as well as $605,850 of HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds. The draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan (Attachment A) describes the programs and projects the CPD Grant Subcommittee recommended for CDBG fund disbursement. HOME funds are discussed within the Entitlement City Tasks and Requirements (Attachment D) and not included in the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan since the HOME funds are allocated to the consortium between Victorville and Apple Valley. Victorville’s HOME funds will be included in Apple Valley’s Annual Action Plan since Apple Valley serves as the lead agency for the consortium. Additionally, the CPD Grant Subcommittee Recommendations (Attachment C) include the final recommendations made for each eligible CDBG/HOME application received and twenty-four separate projects/programs are recommended for a funding allocation.

Copies of the draft Annual Action Plan were made available for public review and comment as required by HUD beginning April 1, 2024, through April 30, 2024. All public comments received during this public hearing and the public comment period will be attached and incorporated into the Annual Action Plan with submittal to HUD occurring after approval by the City Council.

CDBG/HOME Funding Sources
In 1997, the City of Victorville became an Entitlement City with HUD. This status allows the City to receive CDBG funds directly from HUD. Prior to Victorville’s status as an Entitlement City, CDBG funding was awarded to the City of Victorville through the County of San Bernardino and was subject to projects/programs that fulfilled a countywide need rather than those specific to the City.

The City of Victorville successfully formed a consortium in 2003 with the Town of Apple Valley in order to meet the threshold of obtaining HOME entitlement status with HUD.

The successful formation of the consortium results in an annual allocation of HOME funds to both communities, which can be used in concert with CDBG funding to address specific needs within the City of Victorville.

Discussion:
2024-2025 Annual Action Plan
Approval of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan will establish a one-year expenditure plan for the use of HUD funds and enable the implementation of the priority housing and community development needs identified in the 2022-2026 ConPlan. Included in the Annual Action Plan are the programs and projects proposed for fiscal year 2024-2025 funding, which have been reviewed and recommended for approval by the CPD Grant Subcommittee. As proposed, projects not recommended for CDBG funding maintained sufficient unspent funding from previous years allocations, or were determined to be ineligible or inconsistent with funding priorities.

HUD annual allocations to the City of Victorville for fiscal year 2024-2025 include $1,381,396 in CDBG funds and $605,850 in HOME funds. These allocations are approximate at this time pending the release of the Federal budget; however, in previous years allocations have historically increased by approximately 1% - 3% in CDBG funds and approximately 2% - 4% in HOME funds. These two HUD programs will provide almost $2 million to the City of Victorville and can be used for services that assist low- to moderate-income persons. Also included in available funding is $450,000 in reallocated funds from fiscal years 2022-2023 & 2023-2024, which are available due to projects that were cancelled by the subrecipient, allocated funding declined, or projects that did not meet HUD guidelines. Specifically, the subject Annual Action Plan (and the Town of Apple Valley’s 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan with regard to HOME funds) includes proposed funding to the following projects:

Subrecipient Operating Restrictions
While HUD grant funds are typically allocated without specific operating restrictions, allocations in previous years have been awarded in some instances with contract language to ensure funds are spent to serve the City of Victorville residents or are provided in accordance with the City’s Zoning Ordinances. Therefore, the CPD Grant Subcommittee has recommended inclusion of the following contract language relating to food distribution activities being recommended for HUD funding, which was also included in their recommendation for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 CDBG/HOME funding. “The City of Victorville’s Homelessness Strategic Action Plan prioritizes the establishment of strategic partnerships with service providers to proactively house the unsheltered homeless population. With this in mind, it is imperative to establish rules of engagement for partnering food service providers that give direct or indirect aid to the unsheltered homeless in Victorville. This is necessary to achieve the desired outcome of housing the unsheltered and reducing associated environmental impacts.

Subrecipients of CDBG funds and their partnering feeding agencies shall ensure their employees and/or volunteers adhere to the following operating standards when providing direct assistance to unsheltered homeless:
•Service providers shall coordinate mobile food distribution with the Victorville Homeless Engagement Outreach Division of the Code Compliance Department to ensure additional resources are provided to the unsheltered individuals; •Service providers shall not distribute daily meals from a fixed location unless the food is served and consumed on the premises and all necessary land use, building permits and any applicable permits issued by the San Bernardino County Department of Environment Health have been obtained; and
3 6
0 4
•Service providers shall monitor areas where food has been distributed to collect and dispose of debris associated with the food distribution (e.g. bags, cartons, utensils, food waste).

Subrecipients that distribute food to feeding agencies that serve the Victorville unsheltered homeless population are required to list those agencies in their required CDBG reporting and reimbursement requests. Prior to distributing food to these feeding agencies, subrecipients shall obtain a signed acknowledgment from the feeding agencies to abide by the food distribution requirements listed above. Said acknowledgment(s) shall be provided to the City of Victorville with the CDBG reporting or reimbursement request.” Based on the information provided in this report, staff recommends that that Honorable City Council proceed with approving the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan in accordance with staff’s recommendations listed on Page 1 of this report. Staff will be available to answer questions during the public hearing.

Executive Summary

1. Introduction
The City of Victorville’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is authorized by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, which provides eligible entitlement communities with annual grant allocations that can be used to provide decent housing, sui table living environments, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low - and moderate- income persons. The City became an entitlement community in 1997.

The City’s Home Investment Partnership (HOME) grant is authorized under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. HOME funds are required to be used for affordable housing activities. In 2003, the City formed a HOME conso rtium with the Town of Apple Valley (the “HOME Consortium”) in order to meet the threshold of obtaining HOME entitlement status with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which results in an annual allocation of funds to both communities.

Pursuant to Section 24 CFR Part 91, HUD has established regulations that set forth the Consolidated Plan process. The Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing and community developmen t needs, market conditions, and to make data -driven, place-based investment decisions. The Consolidated Plan, which may have a duration of between 3 and 5 years, describes the jurisdiction’s community development priorities and multiyear goals based on an assessment of housing and community development needs, an analysis of current housing and economic market conditions and available resources. Subpart E of Section 24 CFR Part 91 requires local governments that participate in a consortium to include said consortium in the ConPlan. Pursuant to this regulation, on April 19, 2022, the City of Victorville adopted the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan, including the required consortium component.

The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals ide ntified by the Consolidated Plan. Each year, grantees must submit an updated Action Plan describing the specific planned uses for the HUD entitlement funds. This FY 24-25 Annual Action Plan represents the Third Program Year of the 2022 -2026 Consortium Co nsolidated Plan and will be presented to the Victorville City Council on May 7, 2024.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The Consolidated Plan addresses the needs, priorities, goals, and allocation strategies for CDBG and HOME funding for program years July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2027.

The priority needs and goals identified in the Plan are based on analysis of information including the results of the City’s Resident and Stakeholder Surveys and the housing and community development data elements required by HUD in the online Consolidated Plan system (eCon Planning Suite). Data supplied by HUD includes the 2013-2017 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) covering the same period. Other sources of information used to iden tify needs and establish priorities were obtained through consultation with local nonprofit agencies and cited publicly available data.

In consideration of community input and available data, the five priority needs listed below are established as part of this Plan:
• Supportive services for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness • Human services
• Housing programs
• Accessibility and mobility
• Economic development inclusive of employment opportunities Consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low - and moderate-income residents, the priority needs listed above wi ll be addressed over the next five years through the implementation of activities aligned with the following measurable goals included in the Strategic Plan section of this Plan.

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

The City is responsible for ensuring compliance with all rules and regulations associated with the CDBG and HOME entitlement grant programs. The City’s annual Action Plan and Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) provide details about t he goals, projects and programs completed by the City. The City’s Planning Department staff is tasked with the Annual Action Plan
2024
5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
administration of the HUD grant funds an d to ensure the City and its subrecipients are implementing activities effectively and that those activities align with the City’s overall strategies and goals.

The City evaluates the performance of subrecipients providing public services on a quarterly basis. Subrecipients are required to submit quarterly progress reports, which include participant/beneficiary data, outputs, activities as well as data on outcome measures specific to each project. Prior to the start of the program year, outcome measures are developed collaboratively by the subrecipient and the City, ensuring that they are aligned with the City's overall goals a nd strategies. The City utilizes the quarterly reports to review progress towards annual goals and works with subrecipients to adjust annual goals as needed.

In addition to the quarterly review of progress reports, the City typically conducts annual monitoring of all subrecipients to ensure compliance with program -specific and crosscutting federal regulations (e.g. non -discrimination, equal access, employment, contracting, environmental review, etc.). Subrecipient monitoring provides another opportunity to review progress towards overall goals and strategies and to ensure that the programs implemented by subrecipients are compliant with both federal regulations and City requirements. Technical assistance workshops and one-on-one meetings are offered to potential applicants and once are awarded to the subrecipients. Turn-over in subrecipient staff has occurred frequently as of last, due to key employees retiring. City staff meets with new staff members to provide assistance and ensure success of their programs and timely expenditure of the grant funds.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan.

As part of the Action Plan preparation and adoption process, citizens of the City of Victorville are afforded an opportunity to provide input on housing and community development needs; issues and problems affecting very -low and low income persons; to lear n about various programs available and the expected amount of assistance provided; to assist in the development of local project proposals by giving input to project selections and funding distributions; and to participate in the implementation of funded a ctivities. Through implementation of the Citizen Participation Plan, and pursuant to HUD rules and regulations (Section 104(a)(3) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and further augmented by program regulations under 24 CFR Part 91, Subpart B), a 30 -day comment period is provided prior to the adoption of the Action Plan.

The 30-day public comment period, for review of the FY 2024-2025 draft Action Plan, commenced on April 1, 2024 and will end on April 30, 2024. A public notice was published in the Daily Press Annual Action Plan

Newspaper on April 3, 2024 announcing the review period, as well as the notices being posted at the City library and various City buildings. The Action Plan was made available for public review on the City’s website:
https://www.victorvilleca.gov/government/city-departments/development/planning/housing- programs-425.

It was also available for review by requesting copies by telephone, fax, or e-mail.

To broaden public participation in the development of the Action Plan, including outreach to minorities and non -English speaking persons, statements regarding the availability of special accommodations for non-English speaking persons and those with disabilities were printed on all written materials pertaining to development of the Annual Action Plan. Notices were published in both English and Spanish.

The City of Victorville encourages citizen participation, with an emphasis on participation by persons of very low and low income, as well as residents of target neighborhoods and/or neighborhoods which are eligible by definition under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. In order to reach as many participants as possible, the City notifies community organizations and agencies which advocate for persons of very low and low income, concerning participation and needs assessment oppo rtunities and the availability of funds and programs. The City also contacted its local homeless shelter and other non -profit agencies, and entities representing the disabled population to encourage participation from their clients.

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

1. Introduction
In the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with public and private departments, agencies, social service and non -profit organizations to understand the community’s needs and available resources. The City met with several department representatives to provide information about the Consolidated Plan and its processes.

Department staff provided input on how CDBG resources could be used and leveraged to provide services. Focus group participants highlighted the priority needs in general terms and specific to the population. Funding recommendations for FY 2024-2025 were based on the needs identified during the Consolidated Plan process.

The City of Victorville recognizes Victorville residents are the center of and partners in the development of the Consolidated Plan. The Citizen Participation Plan establishes a means by which citizens, public agencies and other interested parties can act ively participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report.

Opportunities to participate in the planning process were provided throughout. Special effort was made to engage low -income persons. City efforts to make opportunities for engagement known include:
• Public notices printed in the local newspaper in English and Spanish. • Public notices posted on the City’s website in English and Spanish. • Public notices posted at community facilities including library in English and Spanish Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)).

The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG program. As a result, during the development of the 2022 -2026 Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with orga nizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community -focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys, invitations to community meetings, and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.

The City will reinforce these partnerships through the implementation of the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process for CDBG funds each year and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients. Funding recommendations for 202 4-2025 include providers of mental health services, homeless services, senior and youth services.

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.

To help prevent homelessness and protect at-risk populations the City supports and participates in the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership’s Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH). The ICH is the policy making body for the Homeless Provider Netw ork HPN). The goal of the network is to advocate for the homeless and those at -risk of becoming homeless residing in the County of San Bernardino. The HPN provides a forum and environment where collaborative public and private programs can work to improve the current delivery of services and fill identified gaps in services for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.

In December 2023 the City of Victorville celebrated the grand opening of the Wellness Center, a 170 bed, low barrier-to entry, housing first approach homeless campus. The facility includes 110 separate unit rooms, which vary in size including single, double and family units. The center includes community spaces, a do g kennel, a community garden, an industrial kitchen and recreational sports courts. The center sits on eight acres with hopes of expansion of permanent supportive housing.

The city retained the services of two nonprofits to operate the Wellness Center, those include Hope the Mission and Symba Center. Hope the Mission will serve as the shelter operator of the Wellness Center. Their services will include client intake coordination, hygiene services, laundry, meals, security, janitorial services, transportation, and peer engagement. Symba Center, a local non-profit, will provide wraparound services including recuperative care, medical and behavioral health services, job readin ess and placement, financial literacy, case management, housing navigation, and substance-use-disorder counseling.

The City also participates in the coordination of the yearly Homeless Point in Time Count (PITC) with the San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services. The Point in Time Count occurred on January 26, 2023. Results from the count have not been published or announced as of the submission of this document.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City is not a direct recipient of ESG funding. However, it is a participating jurisdiction in the CoC and works closely with the homeless provider system to create funding policies and procedures for ESG.

Table 6 – Project Information

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The primary obstacle to meeting the needs of the most underserved groups in Victorville, primarily low- income families, seniors, youth, and the homeless, is the general lack of funding resources available to the public and private agencies providing the services to meet those needs.

At the federal level, entitlement grants have not kept up with inflation, further decreasing funds available to provide services to meet needs within the City. With inflation, lower incomes, and the growing needs of low-income persons and special needs groups, the limited funding resources is a significant obstacle to meeting the underserved needs of the residents of Victorville.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City is not following a limited geographic investment plan, but certain programs and projects located in CDBG Target Areas, which are areas with high percentage of low and moderate income residents, will continue to be given priority for program funding. For this Annual Action Plan, the City is focusing on providing economic development activities and public facility improvements in Old Town Victorville.

Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non -administrative CDBG investments for program year 202 4-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low - and moderate-income people citywide.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction
Although housing cost has been generally lower in the High Desert, lower incomes and higher poverty rates make housing options simply unaffordable for many residents. The City of Victorville will address some of the following problems by offering programs to preserve the current housing stock or make the homeownership obtainable to lower income households.

Deterioration of housing stock
Victorville’s housing stock is aging. Many properties built before 1978 may have environmental hazards such as lead based paint or asbestos. Due to remediation and other rehabilitation work required to bring units to current code standards, repairs and re habilitation work may be prohibitively expensive for homeowners.

The City of Victorville will continue to fund its Senior Home Rehabilitation Program that will assist homeowners that are 62 years of age or older, permanently disabled or handicapped with a grant of up to $20,000 to make eligible repairs to correct code violations and make health and safety improvements.

Additionally, the City will continue to fund the Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program for low - and moderate-income homeowners to correct code violations, address health and safety issues and improve their home’s curb appeal.

Cost Burden Housing
The current availability of housing units in the Apple Valley-Victorville Consortium does not meet the needs of the population. There is a significant need for additional rental housing units — particularly zero, one -bedroom units, and those affordable to households earning less than 50 percent of AMI. According to the data discussed in the Needs Assessment of the ConPlan, the most common housing problems in the Consortium are cost burden and overcrowding. There are 6,255 renter households who earn less tha n 50 percent of AMI that are severely cost burdened paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs. Overcrowding, having more than

1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half-rooms, impacts 2,148 low- and moder ate-income households in the Apple Valley -Victorville Consortium, almost 76 percent of whom are renters.

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 proposed actions to address barriers in FY 2024-2025 are described below:
• Expand housing repair activities, using multiple funding sources to lower the cost of home maintenance and improve housing stock.
• Invest in code enforcement activities to abate deterioration of housing stock. • Reduce lead -based paint hazards in low - and moderate -income housing units by Annual Action Plan
2024
53 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
partnering with the County.
• Engage in code enforcement activities to address code violations. • Continue to refer fair housing complaints to fair housing agencies. • Educate city officials and staff about fair housing issues to improve the understanding and impact of municipal laws and regulations on affordable housing through presentations and meetings facilitated by Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board. • Implementation of the City’s HCD approved 6th Cycle Housing Element, which includes land designations to accommodate the City Regional Housing Needs Allocations as well as requirements to ensure compliance with all of California affordable housing laws and mandates.
• Implement the City’s development impact fee (DIF) policy, which includes the waiver of DIF fees within the Old Town area, as well as the City’s Community Revitalization Authority (CRIA) in order to provide funding opportunities for affordable housing. • Adjust land use development standards to reduce housing construction cost.

Discussion
The City of Victorville will continue to pursue innovative partnerships, locate additional funding sources, and engage in comprehensive planning efforts with regional entities to reduce and remove barriers to affordable housing and fair housing choice.

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
The City’s planned investment of CDBG, funds through the 202 4-2025 Action Plan will address obstacles to fostering development of and maintaining existing affordable housing; evaluating and reducing lead-based paint hazards; reducing the number of families living in at or below the poverty line; developing institutional structure; and enhanced coordination among collaborative agencies and organizations. Additionally, this section will identify obstacles to meeting underserved populations needs and propose action to overcome those obstacles.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low - and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, and the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people. To address this obstacle, at least in part, the City is investing CDBG funds in local nonprofit organizations to address the public service needs of those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or have incomes that are extremely low -, low-, or moderate.

The City will continue offering low -interest loans or emergency grants to low - and moderate- income Victorville homeowners using CDBG funds. The Residential Rehabilitation Program provides financing for home improvements necessary to ensure that residents c an continue to live in quality housing that is already affordable to the occupants.

To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG funds in Program Year 202 4-2025 to projects and activities that benefit low - and moderate - income people or people presumed under HUD regulations to be low- and moderate-income.

The City will invest over $200,000 in Program Year 2024-2025 in support of nine (9) unique local nonprofit organizations providing services to low- and moderate-income households.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing During the 202 4-2025 Program Year, the City will use CDBG funds to continue preserving and maintaining existing affordable housing through the Residential Rehabilitation and the Senior and Disabled Adult Home Repairs Programs. The City will continue to participate in the Appl e Valley-Victorville HOME Consortium, an effective way of providing more housing resources to residents. Specifically, the Consortium will support the City’s Senior Home Rehabilitation Program with HOME funds in FY 2024-2025.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards

The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing -based approaches. To reduce lead -based paint hazards, the City of Victorville Residential Rehabilitation Program will conduct lead-based paint Annual Action Plan
2024
55 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that was built prior to January 1, 1978, and will incorporate safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work as required to reduce lead-based paint hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in the Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan and this Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:

• Supporting activities that increase the supply of housing that is affordable to low - and moderate-income households;
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness;
• Supporting housing preservation programs that ensure low -income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live; and
• Supporting public services through various nonprofits funded by CDBG that serve the community’s youth, seniors, families, veterans and residents with special needs.

The City will invest CDBG and HOME funds during the 202 4-2025 Program Year to address high priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan including supportive services of the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, human services, and housing programs. The City will also invest CDBG funds to address individuals and families with special needs.

To address incidences of homelessness City will use Consortium HOME funds will finance the development of additional transitional housing beds through Hughes Training and Development.

To address the housing needs of the elderly and those with disabilities the City and the HOME Consortium will fund housing rehab program targeted to these populations.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Victorville is best represented through the collaboration between local government and an outstanding set of nonprofit organizations that carry out a diverse array of human service programs to enrich the lives of residents. These relationships are collaborative—each organization partnering with the next to ensure that all Victorville residents have the support necessary to lead fulfilling lives. Affordable housing development and preservation activities will be carried out by the City in partnership with housing developers and contractors. Guided by the Strategic Plan, public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations and City departments to serve low - and moderate-income residents. The City will collaborate across departments on city -owned public facilities improvements and will partner closely with nonprofit organizations receiving capital improvement funds to ensure their projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with all fe deral, state, and local regulations.

Through technical assistance and the annual Notice of Funding Availability process commencing Annual Action Plan
2024
56 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
each November, the City continues to develop and expand local institutional structure by strengthening existing partnerships and leveraging the experience of organizations that previously have not participated in locally administered federal programs to expand the number of program offerings available to residents. The City consistently funds a variety of high -quality services that address underserved needs in Victorville.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will welcome and encourage the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations that deliver housing and supportive services that add value to the lives of low - and moderate- income residents in Victorville.

Discussion
In the implementation of the 202 4-2025 Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

Consolidated Plan
As a recipient of CDBG and HOME funds, the City of Victorville is required to prepare a five-year strategic plan known as the Consolidated Plan (ConPlan). The ConPlan must be prepared every three to five years. The current ConPlan was approved by the City Council on April 19, 2022, and its five-year cycle is ends on June 30, 2027, with the City of Victorville currently in year three of the five year cycle.

The ConPlan describes the City in terms of its overall characteristics and focuses on areas where federal dollars can be used to improve or enhance the living environment for the residents, particularly for those of very low, low and moderate income. The ConPlan identifies priority housing and community needs and lays out the City’s five year plan to address these needs. The needs identified in the ConPlan are:
•Supportive services for the homeless and at risk
•Human services
•Housing programs
•Accessibility and Mobility
•Economic Development
The “2024-2025 CPD Grant Subcommittee Recommendations” (Staff Report - Attachment C) analyzes the subcommittee’s recommendations by referencing the project type (e.g. Public Service, Construction, Housing, and Community Housing Development Organization [CHDO]). The noted categories correspond to the applicable ConPlan needs as follows:

Project Type ConPlan Need
Public Service •Supportive services for the homeless and at risk •Human services
Construction
•Housing programs
•Accessibility and Mobility
•Economic Development
Housing •Housing Programs
•Supportive services for the homeless and at risk
CHDO •Housing Programs
•Supportive services for the homeless and at risk
Annual Action Plan
The Annual Action Plan outlines how the City will allocate both CDBG and HOME funds for eligible activities that address the priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan.

Both CDBG and HOME have specific program requirements, for example, CDBG funds must be utilized to achieve one of three national objectives: elimination of slums and blight, benefit to low and moderate income persons, and/or meet an urgent need such as a natural disaster. HOME funds must be used to preserve or increase housing opportunities for low income residents.

Analysis of Impediments
The Analysis of Impediments (AI) is a report that identifies fair housing issues in the City of Victorville and the region, contributing factors to issues, and outlines goals and strategies to address issues. The fair housing analysis in the AI focuses on patterns of integration and segregation, racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs. Other components of the AI examine publicly supported housing, disability and access, fair housing enforcement, and demographics. The AI process involves an analysis of data provided by HUD, local data from the jurisdictions and PHAs, and feedback gathered from the community. The recommendations in the AI will be used to inform future policies in the City of Victorville that will promote fair housing choice and inclusive communities.

Program/Project Oversight and Compliance Management
As an Entitlement City, staff is responsible for oversight and compliance management for every program or project funded with Victorville’s HUD funds. These activities include fund distribution, on-site monitoring visits to all grant recipients, review of records to ensure that services were performed for eligible (low and moderate-income) participants, procurement compliance on construction projects including Davis-Bacon wage compliance, compliance with all procurement requirements, monitoring project implementation, program compliance and internal audit compliance.

Federal regulations allow that a portion of the grant allocation can be designated for staff and program administration costs (not to exceed 20% for CDBG and 10% for HOME), which fund a portion of the Planning Department staff.

Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Funding Requirements
CDBG Funds
The City anticipates receiving $1,381,396 in new CDBG grant funds for fiscal year 2024- 2025. An additional $450,000 from prior year CDBG funds is available for reprogramming, which is available due to projects that were cancelled by the subrecipient, allocated funding declined, or projects that did not meet HUD guidelines (Staff Report – Attachment B). Inasmuch as the funds subject to reprogramming are not moving forward, they are proposed to be replaced by a new program (e.g. Façade Improvement Program) who has a defined need within the Old Town area of the City.

Distributions of proposed CDBG funding disbursement are as follows:

FY 2023-2024 CDBG Allocations
Project Type Proposed
Funding Comments
Public Service Projects $207,209 Maximum allowed by HUD-15% Construction/Other Projects $1,347,908* Minimum allowed by HUD-20% Administration $276,279 Maximum allowed by HUD-20%
TOTAL (2023-2024) $1,831,396
*Includes $450,000 in reallocated FY 22-23 & FY 23-24 CDBG funds In order to qualify for CDBG funding, all eligible activities must principally benefit low and moderate-income persons. An activity will be considered to principally benefit low and moderate-income persons if it meets one or more of the following standards:
•100% Low/Mod Income Benefit (includes public service activities) - The activity has an income eligibility requirement that limits the benefits exclusively to low and moderate-income persons.

•Area Benefit - The activity is designed to serve Low/Mod areas such as the City’s CDBG Target Areas (Staff Report - Attachment E). In order for an area to be included in the map, at least 51% of the census track block group residents must be low and moderate income households.
•Presumed Benefit - The activity would benefit one or more of the following groups presumed to be low-income under CDBG regulations: abused children, battered spouses, the elderly, adult persons with severe disabilities, the homeless, illiterate persons, and migrant farm workers.
•51% Low Mod Limited Clientele (not public service activities) - The activity has income eligibility restrictions and requires income verifying documentation to assure that at least 51% of the users or beneficiaries of an assisted facility are low income (e.g. the rehabilitation of a day care center serving 51% low-income households).
•Job Creation/Retention for Low-Income Population - The activity is designed to create or retain permanent jobs, a majority of which will employ low-income persons.
•Slum/Blight Elimination - The activity is designed to eliminate slum and blight as part of a comprehensive plan.

As recommended by the CPD Grant Subcommittee, all projects/programs recommended for fund allocation are eligible activities in accordance with the noted standards.

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Funds
The City is anticipated to receive $605,850 in HOME grant funds for fiscal year 2024- 2025. Distributions of HOME funds for activities are as follows:

HOME Allocations
Project Type Proposed
Funding Comments
Housing Projects $454,388 Maximum allowed by HUD-N/A
CHDO Projects $90,878 Minimum allowed by HUD-15%
Administration –
Victorville’s portion $30,292
Administration – Apple
Valley’s portion of Victorville’s
share
$30,292
(Maximum
w/documentation)
Maximum allowed by HUD-10%
TOTAL (2023-2024) $605,850
In 2003, the City of Victorville formed a consortium with the Town of Apple Valley in order to meet the population threshold of obtaining HOME entitlement status with HUD. The successful formation of this consortium has resulted in an annual allocation of HOME funds to both communities. Without the establishment of a consortium with the Town of Apple Valley, the City of Victorville would not be eligible to receive funds directly without contributing assets (i.e. monetary, property, etc.) or establish projects/programs that are tailored to meet the City’s local needs, as funds would be distributed at the behest of San Bernardino County.

Federal regulations limit the kinds of activities that the City may carry out with HOME funds. The City is required to utilize HOME grant funding to “provide decent affordable housing to lower-income households; expand the capacity of nonprofit housing providers; strengthen the ability of state and local governments to provide housing; and leverage private-sector participation.” Generally, HOME funds are required to be allocated to the following categories:
•Homeowner Rehabilitation - HOME funds may be used to assist existing owner- occupants with the repair, rehabilitation, or reconstruction of their home. •Homebuyer Activities - Funds may be used to finance the acquisition and/or rehabilitation or new construction of homes for homebuyers. •Housing - Affordable housing may be acquired and/or rehabilitated or constructed. •Tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) - Financial assistance for rent, security deposits and, under certain conditions, utility deposits may be provided to tenants.

As recommended by the CPD Grant Subcommittee, all projects/programs recommended for fund allocation are eligible activities in accordance with the noted standards.

Applications, Project Types and Funding Considerations
Applications
For the fiscal year 2024-2025 funding cycle, 53 applications were received for both CDBG and HOME funds. Applications for funding were made available beginning Friday, November 17, 2023, and were due no later than January 19, 2024. Additionally, technical workshops were held on November 29, 2023; December 12, 2023; and again on January 10, 2024, to assist potential applicants in the application process.

Project Types - Public Service Projects
Public Service Projects are defined by the population they serve and may only be funded with CDBG. Most public service projects are determined to be eligible based on the federal guidelines that presume certain groups are eligible, such as the homeless, victims of domestic violence, senior adults, certain at-risk groups such as the unemployed and youth, and low/moderate income families. CDBG regulations place a 15% cap on funds that can be allocated to Public Service Projects. This year a total of $207,209 is recommended to fund projects defined as CDBG Public Service Projects, which does not exceed 15% of the City’s total 2024-2025 CDBG allocation from HUD.

Project Types - Construction and Other Community Development Projects Construction and Other Community Development Projects are generally limited by their location and are funded with CDBG. A target area map is determined by the 2020 census and defines those areas where there exists a concentrated portion of the low and moderate-income population, or an area severely affected by blight. A project is eligible under this project type when it demonstrates that the immediate or target area benefits from the project or activity. This year $897,908 of the City’s total 2024-2025 CDBG allocation from HUD is available to fund projects defined as Construction and Other Community Development Projects (Housing Projects may also be funded from this category). Additionally, $450,000 of reallocated funds from previous program years are available for reprogramming, which totals $1,347,908 of CDBG funds dedicated to Construction and Other Community Development Projects for the subject fiscal year as proposed.

Project Types - Housing Projects
Housing Projects may be funded with either CDBG or HOME funds. CDBG regulations limit housing activities to “providing or improving permanent residential structures, which upon completion will be occupied by low and moderate-income persons”. HOME regulations are designed to provide affordable housing to low and very-low-income households. HUD requires a minimum of 15% of the Consortium’s total HOME allocation to be reserved for CHDO activities. As proposed, the 2024-2025 Action Plan allocates $454,388 in HOME funds and $101,908 in CDBG funds to applicable housing projects in accordance with HUD standards.

Funding Considerations
City Council Policy - On January 15, 2019, the City Council adopted the second amendment to Council Policy No. CP-94-4, which established guidelines on the policies and procedures used for the administration and utilization of various HUD and California Department of Housing and Community Development grants. The policy states that the City Council is tasked with the responsibility of determining program and project priority as well as allocating funds each fiscal year in which grant funds are available. In order to facilitate the annual allocation of funds, the City Council designates two members of the City Council every year to serve on a Grant Subcommittee who act to:
•Determine program and project priority of each applicable grant funding source; and
•Formulate recommendations for presentation to the City Council regarding Federal and State grant funding distribution.

Staff prepares summary tables of the applications received to assist the Grant Subcommittee in reviewing the proposed project’s compliance with the Council Policy.

After review of the applications received and in consultation with a CPD Grant Subcommittee member appointed by the City Manager, recommendations for the allocation of CDBG and HOME funding is incorporated into the subject Annual Action Plan for review and approval by the City Council. Recommendations made by the CPD Grant Subcommittee are evaluated based upon the following criteria:
•Need
•Benefit
•Organization and Administrative Capacity
•Funding
•City Council Priorities
•Collaboration
•Participation
Religious Organizations
With the passage of the President George W. Bush’s Faith-Based Initiative, HUD revised its regulations to remove barriers to the participation of faith-based organizations in HUD programs. In general, no group of applicants competing for HUD funds should be subject to greater or fewer requirements than other organizations solely because of their religious character or affiliation. However, HUD does require that organizations clearly delineate eligible and ineligible uses of funds. HUD’s final rule stipulates that a recipient organization may not use direct HUD funds to support inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization.

Public Hearing(s)
Meeting of: May 7, 2024
Submitted By:

Scott Webb, City Planner

Subject:

Required public hearing for amendments to the Annual Action Plans for Fiscal Years 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 to reallocate HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funding to a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) project in accordance with United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines and the City’s Citizen Participation Plan.

Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Conduct a public hearing to receive citizen, public and agency comments regarding the Substantial Amendments to the Annual Action Plans for Fiscal Years 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024; (2) Approve Resolution No. 24-034 - Adopting a Substantial Amendment to the Annual Action Plans for Fiscal Years 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2021-2022, 2022- 2023, and 2023-2024 to reallocate Community Housing Development Organization funding, and amending the City of Victorville’s annual budget for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024 to reflect additional revenue and expenditures in the amount of $491,759; and (3) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents for submittal to United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Fiscal Impact:

Taking action in accordance with the staff recommendation will reallocate the subject Victorville HOME funding for the following Fiscal Years:

Victorville HOME - CHDO Reallocations
Fiscal Year Reallocation Amount
2017-2018 $50,648
2018-2019 $74,303
2019-2020 $70,244
2021-2022 $80,845
3 6
0 5
2022-2023 $87,255
Total $363,295
Additionally, as discussed in this Staff Report, in order to ensure the timely expenditure of funds, the Town of Apple Valley has committed to reallocate their share of CHDO funding to the City of Victorville from the following Fiscal Years:

Apple Valley HOME – CHDO Reallocation to Victorville
Fiscal Year Reallocation Amount
2021-2022 $39,756
2022-2023 $42,907
2023-2024 $45,801
Total $128,464
The subject funding has no matching requirement, as that requirement has been previously waived by HUD due to the Apple Valley/Victorville Consortium being considered in fiscal distress (based upon poverty rate and per capita income). Therefore, except for HOME administration costs not covered in full by limited grant allowances (e.g. portions of City staff time, facilities use, etc.), the subject funding will not utilize City monetary assets.

In summary, the City of Victorville’s annual budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 shall reflect additional revenue and expenditures in the amount of $491,759 (HOME – City Org. 2823027) in reallocated HOME funding from Fiscal Years 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019- 2020, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024, which does not include existing 2023-2024 funding allocated to the City of Victorville that has been previously accounted for in the subject Fiscal Year.

Strategic Plan Goal:

Approval of the proposed Substantial Amendments to the Annual Action Plans for Fiscal Years 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 will formally reallocate available HOME funds to a housing rehabilitation project, which will enable the City to further fulfill the following Goals outlined in the 2024-2026 Strategic Plan:
• Goal A (Financial Sustainability) – HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds represent funding opportunities that require limited financial commitments while ensuring greater availability of general fund resources. • Goal D (Reduce Homelessness) – Housing projects that benefit affordable housing projects are eligible projects that are aimed to directly benefit the homeless population or those at risk of homelessness, providing the City an opportunity to expand the availability of housing projects for all income levels.

Executive Summary:

The purpose of the request for approval of a Substantial Amendment to the 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 Annual Action Plans (Attachment A) is to reallocate $491,759 in HOME funding from multiple years in order to consolidate funding sources and provide additional funding to a Community Housing 3 6
0 5
Development Organization (CHDO) project that was recommended for partial funding in conjunction with the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan recently reviewed by the City Council.

Although the reallocation of funds originally designated for a CHDO project to an eligible CHDO project is permitted by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines, the adjustment of funding from specific years and the consolidation of those funds into Fiscal Year 2023-2024 necessitates a “Substantial Amendment” as defined by the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan (Attachment B).

Subsequently, the adopted Citizen Participation Plan requires review and approval by the City Council in a public hearing.

Background:

The City of Victorville is a recipient of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds, which include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Grant (HOME) that are allocated by HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD).

While the City of Victorville Planning Department is responsible for the administration of the City’s CDBG grant, the City and the Town of Apple Valley formed a consortium in 2003 that provides an annual allocation of HOME funds to both communities via the Apple Valley/Victorville Consortium (the “Consortium”). Pursuant to the the Consortiums agreement (Attachment C), the Town of Apple Valley acts as the lead agency and ensures compliance with the HOME guidelines; however, both consortium members independently allocate available HOME funding to project types identified in the Consortium agreement. Additionally, while the Town of Apple Valley acts as the lead agency and ensure compliance, the Consortium is collectively responsible for the timely use of HOME funding regardless of which jurisdiction originally allocated the available funds.

Inasmuch as both Consortium members have had difficulty spending CHDO designated funds in the past due to limited allocations, and strict CHDO designation measures, funds are typically banked for multiple years until a single project can utilize that accumulation of funds in a meaningful and impactful manner.
•For reference, a CHDO or Community Housing Development Organization is generally defined by Code of Federal Regulations (Attachment D) as a private nonprofit, community-based service organization that has staff with the capacity to develop or provide decent affordable housing for the community.

Currently, the City of Victorville maintains $454,173 in available CHDO set-aside funding while the Town of Apple Valley has $128,464 that can be used to fund an eligible CHDO project. Inasmuch as the total available $582,637 from previous years allocations, an eligible project was proposed for partial funding in the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan recently reviewed by the City Council, and the available CHDO funds can be used to close the gap between the requested amount of $1,165,623 and the proposed 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan allocation of $136,679 ($90,878 in Victorville allocations + $45,801 in 3 6
0 5
Apple Valley allocation = $136,679). This methodology to reallocate the subject CHDO funding was also reviewed and approved for City Council consideration at their March 26, 2024, meeting.

Discussion:

Available Funding
As noted in the “Background” section of this Staff Report, the City of Victorville and the Town of Apple Valley have $582,637 in available funding that can be utilized for a CHDO project, which was originally allocated as follows:

HOME - CHDO Reallocations
Fiscal Year Victorville Reallocation Apple Valley Reallocation 2017-2018 $50,648 N/A
2018-2019 $74,303 N/A
2019-2020 $70,244 N/A
2021-2022 $80,845 $39,756
2022-2023 $87,255 $42,907
2023-2024 $90,878 $45,801
City/Town Total $454,173 $128,464
Combined Total $582,637
The available CHDO funds noted above are available due to their original project not moving forward or there being no qualified CHDO project at the time of the HUD required allocations, which mandates that 15% of annual HOME funds be reserved for a CHDO project.

Project Eligibility
The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan included the allocation of $136,679 ($90,878 in Victorville allocations + $45,801 in Apple Valley allocation = $136,679) to a CHDO project for National Community Renaissance of California for a residential rehabilitation project located at 17251 Dante Street in the City of Victorville.

While the inclusion of $136,679 towards the National Community Renaissance of California CHDO project in the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan provides a starting point to the project, it falls well short of the $1,165,623 requested and needed to complete the rehabilitation project that includes:
•Roof replacement as well as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) replacement for two multi-unit buildings;
•The replacement of 16 water heaters throughout the site; •Balcony beam replacement throughout the site;
•Exterior painting and wood rot repair; and
•The replacement of sliding glass doors throughout the site. 3 6
0 5
As proposed in the attached Substantial Amendment to the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan, the available $582,637 would be allocated to the National Community Renaissance of California CHDO project at 17251 Dante Street in the City of Victorville, and would bring their total allocation to $719,316. While this total allocation would still not match the total request, it is anticipated that major life and safety improvements can be addressed such as roof replacement, HVAC replacement, and structural rehabilitation, as needed.

Project Selection
During the preparation of the 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan, the City of Victorville received one application for a qualified CHDO project, and in recent funding cycles has received limited to zero interest from projects that would qualify as a CHDO. This position is shared by the Town of Apple Valley as they have received similar results and support their willingness to share available CHDO funds. Additionally, the current National Community Renaissance of California CHDO project is essentially a “Phase II” of a previous project that was completed in 2017 and included an allocation of $811,977, replacing the roof of 8 buildings on-site. Based on the City’s history in working with National Community Renaissance of California, they have shown to be quality subrecipient who is capable of expending CHDO funding in accordance with all HUD regulations. Lastly, failure to reallocate the funds to a CHDO project may result in the recapture of funds by HUD and their removal from the Consortiums line of credit.

Therefore, City staff recommends that the City Council proceed with staff’s recommendation in order to provide a benefit to an affordable housing development within the City of Victorville and maintain compliance with HUD standards that regulate the timely expenditure of funds.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The City of Victorville’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is authorized by the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, which provides eligible entitlement communities with annual grant allocations that can be used to provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The City became an entitlement community in 1997.

The City’s Home Investment Partnership (HOME) grant is authorized under Title II of the Cranston- Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. HOME funds are required to be used for affordable housing activities. In 2003, the City formed a HOME consortium with the Town of Apple Valley (the “HOME Consortium”) in order to meet the threshold of obtaining HOME entitlement status with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which results in an annual allocation of funds to both communities.

Pursuant to Section 24 CFR Part 91, HUD has established regulations that set forth the Consolidated Plan process. The Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to assess their affordable housing and community development needs, market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The Consolidated Plan, which may have a duration of between 3 and 5 years, describes the jurisdiction’s community development priorities and multiyear goals based on an assessment of housing and community development needs, an analysis of current housing and economic market conditions and available resources. Subpart E of Section 24 CFR Part 91 requires local governments that participate in a consortium to include said consortium in the ConPlan. Pursuant to this regulation, on April 19, 2022, the City of Victorville adopted the 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan, including the required consortium component.

The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan. Each year, grantees must submit an updated Action Plan describing the specific planned uses for the HUD entitlement funds. This FY 23-24 Annual Action Plan represents the Second Program Year of the 2022-2026 Consortium Consolidated Plan and will be presented to the Victorville City Council on April 18, 2023.

Substantial Amendment # 1
On April 18, 2023, the City of Victorville City Council approved the submittal of the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan. Included in the plan was the approval of the National Community Renaissance of California’s (National Core) Northgate Village Rehabilitation Project. National Core has been approved as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). For 2023-2024 the project was allocated $90,878, which was Victorville’s portion of the Apple Valley/Victorville Consortium’s CHDO allocation.

The
Consortium has agreed to fund the project in the amount of $719,316 in FY 24-25, of which $582,637 are funds from FY 17, FY 18, FY 19, FY 21, FY 22, FY 23 and FY 24. The funds are CHDO set aside, CHDO funds

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The Consolidated Plan addresses the needs, priorities, goals, and allocation strategies for CDBG and HOME funding for program years July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2027.

The priority needs and goals identified in the Plan are based on analysis of information including the results of the City’s Resident and Stakeholder Surveys and the housing and community development data elements required by HUD in the online Consolidated Plan system (eCon Planning Suite). Data supplied by HUD includes the 2013-2017 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) covering the same period. Other sources of information used to identify needs and establish priorities were obtained through consultation with local nonprofit agencies and cited publicly available data.

In consideration of community input and available data, the five priority needs listed below are established as part of this Plan:
•
•
•
•
•
Supportive services for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness Human services
Housing programs
Accessibility and mobility
Economic development inclusive of employment opportunities Consistent with HUD’s national goals for the CDBG and HOME programs to provide decent housing opportunities, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed over the next five years Annual Action Plan

through the implementation of activities aligned with the following measurable goals included in the Strategic Plan section of this Plan.

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

The City is responsible for ensuring compliance with all rules and regulations associated with the CDBG and HOME entitlement grant programs. The City’s annual Action Plan and Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) provide details about the goals, projects and programs completed by the City. The City critical to ensure the City and its subrecipients are implementing activities effectively and that those activities align with the City’s overall strategies and goals.

The City evaluates the performance of subrecipients providing public services on a quarterly basis.

Subrecipients are required to submit quarterly progress reports, which include participant data, outputs/activities as well as data on outcome measures specific to each project. Prior to the start of the program year, outcome measures are developed collaboratively by the subrecipient and the City, ensuring that they are aligned with the City's overall goals and strategies. The City utilizes the quarterly reports to review progress towards annual goals and works with subrecipients to adjust annual goals as needed.

In addition to the quarterly review of progress reports, the City typically conducts annual monitoring of all subrecipients to ensure compliance with program-specific and crosscutting federal regulations (e.g. non-discrimination, equal access, employment, contracting, environmental review, etc.). Subrecipient monitoring provides another opportunity to review progress towards overall goals and strategies and to ensure that the programs implemented by subrecipients are compliant with both federal regulations and City requirements. During the COVID-19 State of Emergency, the City did not perform on-site monitoring for all subrecipients as City Hall was intermittently closed to the public and staff members were working from home in split shifts. Staff made itself available for additional guidance and technical support through Zoom, email and phone calls. Staff conducted two on-site monitoring visits during FY 22-23. With the state of emergency lifted concerning COVID-19, staff will return to its normal monitoring schedule.

The City’s CAPER is presented to City Council for review each year. The plan presents successes and challenges during the year and highlights specific outcomes and achievements. This review process also provides an opportunity for the public to provide feedback on the City’s performance. recognizes that the evaluation of past performance is

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

1. Introduction
In the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with public and private departments and agencies and social service and non-profit organizations to understand the community’s needs and available resources. The City met with several department representatives to provide information about the Consolidated Plan and its processes. Department staff provided input on how CDBG resources could be used and leveraged to provide services. Focus group participants highlighted the priority needs in general terms and specific to the population. Funding recommendations for FY 2023-2024 were based on the needs identified during the Consolidated Plan process.

The City of Victorville recognizes Victorville residents are the center of and partners in the development of the Consolidated Plan. The Citizen Participation Plan establishes a means by which citizens, public agencies and other interested parties can actively participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report.

Opportunities to participate in the planning process were provided throughout. Special effort was made to engage low-income persons. City efforts to make opportunities for engagement known include:
•
•
•
Public notices printed in the local newspaper in English and Spanish.

Public notices posted on the City’s website in English and Spanish.

Public notices posted at community facilities including library in English and Spanish Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)).

The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG program. As a result, during the development of the 2022- 2026 Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys, invitations to community meetings, and follow-up in-person interviews where appropriate.

The City will reinforce these partnerships through the implementation of the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process for CDBG funds each year and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients.

Funding recommendations for 2023-2024 include providers of mental health services, homeless services, senior and youth services.

Discussion
The City of Victorville shares overall responsibility for meeting the priority needs identified in the Strategic Plan with many other organizations.

The City is responsible for using CPD entitlement funds to address the needs of low- and moderate-income residents. Other City departments and organizations provide services to low- and moderate-income residents by utilizing funding from federal, state, local and private resources.

Although the final annual allocations for CDBG and HOME funds have been released by HUD, in previous years funding has been subject to increases and/or decreases based upon updated allocations by HUD, typically in amounts less than $100,000. In order to ensure a contingency plan is included in the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan and reduce the need for unnecessary substantial amendments to the Annual Action Plan, the following contingency measures shall apply to CDBG/HOME annual allocations.

Table 7 – Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The primary obstacle to meeting the needs of the most underserved groups in Victorville, primarily low- income families, seniors, youth, and the homeless, is the general lack of funding resources available to the public and private agencies providing the services to meet those needs.

At the federal level, entitlement grants have not kept up with inflation, further decreasing funds available to provide services to meet needs within the City. With inflation, lower incomes, and the growing needs of low-income persons and special needs groups, the limited funding resources is a significant obstacle to meeting the underserved needs of the residents of Victorville.

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City is not following a limited geographic investment plan, but certain programs and projects located in CDBG Target Areas, which are areas with high percentage of low and moderate income residents, will continue to be given priority for program funding. For this Annual Action Plan, the City is focusing on providing economic development activities and public facility improvements in Old Town Victorville.

Discussion
Based on the Strategic Plan, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG investments for program year 2023-2024 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate-income people citywide.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction
Although housing cost has been generally lower in the High Desert, lower incomes and higher poverty rates make housing options simply unaffordable for many residents. The City of Victorville will address some of the following problems by offering programs to preserve the current housing stock or make the homeownership obtainable to lower income households.

Deterioration of housing stock
Victorville’s housing stock is aging. Many properties built before 1978 may have environmental hazards such as lead based paint or asbestos. Due to remediation and other rehabilitation work required to bring units to current code standards, repairs and rehabilitation work may be prohibitively expensive for homeowners.

The City of Victorville will continue to fund its Senior Home Repair Program that will assist homeowners that are 62 years of age or older, permanently disabled or handicapped with a grant of up to $20,000 to make eligible repairs to correct code violations and make health and safety improvements.

Additionally, the City will continue to fund the Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program for low- and moderate-income homeowners to correct code violations, address health and safety issues and improve their home’s curb appeal.

Cost Burden Housing
The current availability of housing units in the Apple Valley-Victorville Consortium does not meet the needs of the population. There is a significant need for additional rental housing units — particularly zero, one-bedroom units, and those affordable to households earning less than 50 percent of AMI. According to the data discussed in the Needs Assessment of the ConPlan, the most common housing problems in the Consortium are cost burden and overcrowding. There are 6,255 renter households who earn less than 50 percent of AMI that are severely cost burdened paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing costs. Overcrowding, having more than

1.01 people per room, excluding bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, or half-rooms, impacts 2,148 low- and moderate-income households in the Apple Valley-Victorville Consortium, almost 76 percent of whom are renters.

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 proposed actions to address barriers in FY 2023-2024 are described below:
• Expand housing repair activities, using multiple funding sources to lower the cost of Annual Action Plan

home maintenance and improve housing stock.
•
•
Invest in code enforcement activities to abate deterioration of housing stock.

Reduce lead-based paint hazards in low- and moderate-income housing units by partnering with the County.
•
•
•
Engage in code enforcement activities to address code violations.

Continue to refer fair housing complaints to fair housing agencies.

Educate city officials and staff about fair housing issues to improve the understanding and impact of municipal laws and regulations on affordable housing through presentations and meetings facilitated by Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board. • Implementation of the City’s HCD approved 6 th Cycle Housing Element, which includes land designations to accommodate the City Regional Housing Needs Allocations as well as requirements to ensure compliance with all of California affordable housing laws and mandates.
•
•
Implement the City’s development impact fee (DIF) policy, which includes the waiver of DIF fees within the Old Town area, as well as the City’s Community Revitalization Authority (CRIA) in order to provide funding opportunities for affordable housing.

Adjust land use development standards to reduce housing construction cost.

Discussion
The City of Victorville will continue to pursue innovative partnerships, locate additional funding sources, and engage in comprehensive planning efforts with regional entities to reduce and remove barriers to affordable housing and fair housing choice.

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
The City’s planned investment of CDBG, funds through the 2022-2023 Action Plan will address obstacles to fostering development of and maintaining existing affordable housing; evaluating and reducing lead-based paint hazards; reducing the number of families living in at or below the poverty line; developing institutional structure; and enhanced coordination among collaborative agencies and organizations. Additionally, this section will identify obstacles to meeting underserved populations needs and propose action to overcome those obstacles.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate-income people include lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, and the high cost of housing that is not affordable to low-income people. To address this obstacle, at least in part, the City is investing CDBG funds in local nonprofit organizations to address the public service needs of those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or have incomes that are extremely low-, low-, or moderate.

The City will continue offering low-interest loans or emergency grants to low- and moderate- income Victorville homeowners using CDBG funds. The Residential Rehabilitation Program provides financing for home improvements necessary to ensure that residents can continue to live in quality housing that is already affordable to the occupants.

To address underserved needs, the City is allocating 100 percent of its non-administrative CDBG funds in Program Year 2023-2024 to projects and activities that benefit low- and moderate- income people or people presumed under HUD regulations to be low- and moderate-income.

The City will invest over $200,000 in Program Year 2023-2024 in support of twelve (12) unique local nonprofit organizations providing services to low- and moderate-income households.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing During the 2023-2024 Program Year, the City will use CDBG funds to continue preserving and maintaining existing affordable housing through the Residential Rehabilitation and the Senior and Disabled Adult Home Repairs Programs. The City will continue to participate in the Apple Valley-Victorville HOME Consortium, an effective way of providing more housing resources to residents. Specifically, the Consortium will support the City’s Senior Housing Repair Program with HOME funds in FY 2023-2024.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. To reduce lead-based paint hazards, the City of Victorville Residential Rehabilitation Program will conduct lead-based paint Annual Action Plan
2023
52 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

testing and risk assessments for each property assisted that was built prior to January 1, 1978, and will incorporate safe work practices or abatement into the scope of work as required to reduce lead-based paint hazards in accordance with 24 CFR Part 35.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The implementation of CDBG activities meeting the goals established in the Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan and this Action Plan will help to reduce the number of poverty-level families by:
• Supporting activities that increase the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households;
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate homelessness;
• Supporting housing preservation programs that ensure low-income households have a safe, decent and appropriate place to live; and
• Supporting public services through various nonprofits funded by CDBG that serve the community’s youth, seniors, families, veterans and residents with special needs.

The City will invest CDBG and HOME funds during the 2023-2024 Program Year to address high priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan including supportive services of the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, human services, and housing programs. The City will also invest CDBG funds to address individuals and families with special needs.

To address incidences of homelessness City will use Consortium HOME funds will finance the development of additional transitional housing beds through Hughes Training and Development.

To address the needs of those with special needs the City will direct CDBG funds to Somos Una Voy de Apoyo’s resources and family centered activity programming targeted toward those with disabilities. To address the housing needs of the elderly and those with disabilities the City and the HOME Consortium will fund housing rehab program targeted to these populations.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The institutional delivery system in Victorville is best represented through the collaboration between local government and an outstanding set of nonprofit organizations that carry out a diverse array of human service programs to enrich the lives of residents. These relationships are collaborative—each organization partnering with the next to ensure that all Victorville residents have the support necessary to lead fulfilling lives. Affordable housing development and preservation activities will be carried out by the City in partnership with housing developers and contractors. Guided by the Strategic Plan, public service activities will be carried out by nonprofit organizations and City departments to serve low- and moderate-income residents. The City will collaborate across departments on city-owned public facilities improvements and will partner closely with nonprofit organizations receiving capital improvement funds to ensure their projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with all federal, state, and local Annual Action Plan
2023
53 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

regulations.

Through technical assistance and the annual Notice of Funding Availability process commencing each November, the City continues to develop and expand local institutional structure by strengthening existing partnerships and leveraging the experience of organizations that previously have not participated in locally administered federal programs to expand the number of program offerings available to residents. The City consistently funds a variety of high-quality services that address underserved needs in Victorville.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City will welcome and encourage the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations that deliver housing and supportive services that add value to the lives of low- and moderate- income residents in Victorville.

Discussion
In the implementation of the 2022-2023 Action Plan, the City will invest CDBG and HOME resources to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

ATTACHMENT B
Citizen Participation Plan

CITY OF VICTORVILLE - CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
Amended: May 5, 2020 (Amendments Underlined)

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Since 1997, the City of Victorville (the “City”) has received an annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In 2003, the City formed a HOME Investment Partnership Program Consortium with the Town of Apple Valley (the “HOME Consortium”) in order to meet the threshold of obtaining HOME entitlement status with HUD. The City receives both CDBG and HOME funding annually.

As an Entitlement City, the City is required to prepare and adopt a Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) and an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). The Con Plan is a plan of three to five years in length, which reviews and considers the housing and community development needs of the City, establishes priorities for CDBG and HOME funds, creates and institutes an Annual Action Plan (AP) for meeting current and future needs, and identifies the City’s performance in meeting its annual goals through the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER).

The AFH replaces the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) to assist the City in identifying fair housing issues and related contributing factors to achieve comprehensive community development goals and affirmatively further fair housing. The Con Plan, A P Plan and AFH are also required to have a strategy for resident and citizen participation in the planning process. According to 24 CFR § 91.105 and as a condition of federal funding , the City must adopt and follow a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) describing how the City will encourage participation from residents and citizens of all ages, genders, economic levels, races, ethnicities and special needs to provide them with equal access in the development of the Con Plan, A P and AFH, and to ensure their issues and concerns are adequately addressed. Participation shall include community-based and regionally-based organizations that represent and assist protected class members and organizations that enforce fair housing laws.

II. PURPOSE OF THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
The purpose of the CPP is to provide the method and process by which the City’s Con Plan, AP and AFH processes will comply with the citizen participation requirements set forth by HUD pursuant to 24 CFR §

91.105 and the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Final Rule (24 CFR §§ 5.150 through 5.180). This CPP states the process of soliciting the views and recommendations from the public, as well as the process for incorporating public comments and views into the objectives and outcomes developed in the Con Plan, AP, and AFH. This CPP and the participation process shall be implemented and monitored by the City’s Development Department.

III. DEVELOPMENT OF AFH, CON PLAN, AP, AND CAPER; SUBSEQUENT

REVISIONS AND SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS
Introductory Note. The citizen participation processes and procedures associated with each of the planning documents/reports discussed in this Section are detailed in Section V of this CPP and further described in tabular format on page 5 (the “Summary Table”).

2 Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). The AFH is required every five years prior to the preparation of the Con Plan. When preparing an AFH , the City will make HUD -provided data and other supplemental information available to interested citizens, residents, agencies and organizations in an effort to provide meaningful analyses of local fair housing conditions and issues. The City shall publish a notice announcing the availability of this data /information and requesting the views of the residents at a public hearing at least ten (10) days prior to the date of such hearing. In addition, prior to the City adopting and submitting the final AFH to HUD, at least one thirty (30) day public comment period will be provided (after publication of notice and the draft AFH) and a second public hearing will be noticed and held to obtain further citizen input. The City may choose to conduct this hearing in conjunction with one of the two required public hearings on the Con Plan.

AFH Revisions. Pursuant to 24 CFR §5.164, t he City shall consider an AFH previously accepted by HUD to require modification (“Revisions”) and re-submission to HUD in the following instances:
 When the City’s circumstances change in a way that affects the information on which the AFH is based, to the extent that the analysis, the fair housing contributing factors, or the priorities and goals of the AFH are no longer applicable or reflect actual circumstances. Examples of changed circumstances include:

o Presidentially declared disasters affecting the City that significantly impact the steps the City may need to take to affirmatively further fair housing; o Significant changes in the City’s demographic;
o The occurrence of new significant contributing factors in the City’s jurisdiction o civil rights findings, determinations, settlements (including Voluntary Compliance Agreements) or court orders

 Upon HUD’s written notification specifying a material change that requires the Revisions Revisions may not necessarily require the submission of an entirely new AFH. Revisions need only focus on the material change and appropriate adjustments to the analy ses, assessments, priorities, or goals.

AFH Revisions will be published and noticed for public comment and hearing (see Summary Table).

Consolidated Plan (C on Plan); Annual Action Plan (AP) . The Con Plan examines housing and community development needs, sets priorities for grant monies and establishes a strategic plan with specific measurable goals to address priority needs. Prior to adopting the Con Plan or AP, the City will make available to citizens, public agencies, and other interested parties:
 The amount of assistance the City expects to receive;  The range of activities that may be undertaken with such funds;  The amount of funds proposed to be used for activities and the estimated benefit to low and moderate income persons; and
 The City’s plans to minimize displacement of persons and what type of assistance will be made available to those persons displaced.

At least one (1) public hearing will be noticed and held during the development of the Con Plan and AP to receive public comment and incorporate citizen participation . In addition, a second public hearing regarding the contents of the Con Plan / AP will be noticed and conducted prior to the City’s adoption of these documents and submission to HUD. Notices of such public hearings will be published at least ten (10) days in advance or as specified in the Summary Table. At least thirty (30) days prior to adoption, copies of the proposed Con Plan, AP, and any Substantial Amendments (defined below) will be published by the City (made available for publ ic review) and a thirty (30) day public comment period will be noticed and provided. The City Manager or their designee may allow adjustments to public noticing, public hearing, and publishing requirements in conjunction with applicable waivers provided by HUD.

3 CAPER. At least fifteen (15) days prior to submission to HUD, copies of the CAPER will published and a like period of public comment will be noticed and provided.

Substantial Amendments . The occurrence of any of the following circumstances shal l require a modification of the Con Plan or AP (“Substantial Amendment”), which shall be noticed, heard, published for comment and adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section V of this CPP, as applicable:
 A significant shift is proposed in allocation priorities, or a substantial change in the method of distributing funds;
 An activity not included in the AP is proposed for funding;  To use funds, including program income, not previously described in the Annual Action Plan;  An activity included in the AP is proposed for elimination;  The amount allocated to any activity is proposed to be increased or decreased from the amount described in the AP by more than 25%; or
