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

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

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.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting
The City of Victorville recognizes that Victorville residents are partners in the development and execution of the Action Plan. The Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) establishes a means by which citizens, public agencies and other interested parties can actively participate in the development of consolidated planning documents, including the Action Plan.
Using the CPP as a guide, Victorville sought community involvement and provided residents with opportunities to become involved in the development of the Annual Action Plan. Opportunities for citizen input were provided during the entire planning process, from the development of the Action Plan to reviewing the draft document, through publications, postings and public hearings. Outreach efforts were developed to reach diverse populations including to persons with disabilities, special needs populations and limited English-speaking persons. Notices were printed in both English and Spanish.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City does not require that funded projects/programs provide matching funds. However, it is common for CDBG funded construction projects to include the use of non-federal funds.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City of Victorville is undertaking several initiatives to address homelessness and housing instability. In December 2021, the City announced it was awarded a $28 million Homekey award from the California Department of Housing and Community Development for the construction and operational support of its Wellness Center Campus. The campus is a critical component of the City’s strategy to reduce homelessness. Combining a low-barrier emergency shelter, recuperative care facility, medical clinic, interim housing, and wraparound support services that will be available to both occupants of the center and community residents. The Wellness Center will be developed on City owned property located in the north side of the City. Construction is expected to be completed in summer 2023.

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.

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.

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
2023
51 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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.

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
53 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
54 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.
