CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO'S
CONSOLIDATED PLAN
2000-2005
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2000-114
'.
City olSon Bernardino - Consolidated Plan - FY 2000-2005.
San Bernardino's Consolidated Plan for 2000
Executive Summary
I. BACKGROUND _AND INTRODUCTION
San Bernardino's 2000/2005 Consolidated Plan constitutes a strategic vision for housing and
community development in the City. This Executive Summary highlights a plan so that citizens
within the community can have a quick overview of San Bernardino's housing and community
development problems; the 5 year broad goals, strategies, and actions proposed to deal with those
problems; and the specific projects proposed for 2000/200 I to carry out the first year of the Five
Year strategy. In addition, maps demonstrate the location of most of these projects and how they
relate to the neighborhood conditions.
In addition to the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, the City is required to have an Annual Action Plan
that implements the goals and objectives ofthe five-year Consolidated Plan.
It is important to note that much of the information contained in the Consolidated Plan is based on
1990 Census because there was no other comprehensive source of community information. Where
available, additional public and private sources of information have been used to supplement the
1990 Census to provide as much currency as possible to the Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan also establishes new priorities and needs based on a 1998 Community
Priority Needs Survey (conducted by the Mayor and Common Council). The new priorities reflect
the City's desire to focus its efforts on improvement of existing neighborhoods and increasing
homeownership opportunities rather than the construction of additional housing for low- and
moderate-income households (except in cases of special needs). The Consolidated Plan includes
new priorities for job development, improvement of infrastructure, public facilities, and fair housing
issues.
II. GOALS
The City of San Bemardino attempts to address numerous issues through the programs set forth
within the Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2000-2005. These issues include, but are not limited
to:
. the elimination of slums and blight;
· the elimination of conditions that are detrimental to health, safety and public welfare;
· the conservation and expansion of the nation's housing stock;
· the expansion and improvement of the quantity and quality of community services;
· a better utilization ofland and other natural resources;
· a reduction in the isolation of income groups within communities and geographical areas;
· the restoration and preservation of properties of special values; and
· the alleviation of physical and economic distress.

City of San Bernardino - Consolidated Plan - FY 2000-2005 .
Because physical, social, and economic conditions have not changed dramatically since the adoption
of the 1995 Consolidated Plan, these overall goals are similar to those adopted five years ago, and
the City's overall policy thrust for implementing the Consolidated Plan remains essentially the same.
(Exceptions are noted below.)
III. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS
The 1995 Consolidated Plan was developed with citizen participation input, which included the
citizen's advisory committee's help to develop different sections within the Plan. Because the
Consolidated Plan represents a limited changes from the 1995 Plan, the City's Citizen Advisory
Committee was consulted principally in the development of the Annual Action Plan. Two public
meetings were conducted by the Committee on February 3 and February 10,2000 to obtain public
comment on the policy direction for the updated Annual Action Plan, and private and public
agencies that implement housing and community development activities were contacted and
consulted. The Common Council will hold a public hearing on May 15,2000 to obtain citizen views
and receive further comments on the Consolidated Plan prior to its adoption.
Citizens are given sufficient information about the subject ofthe hearing through an advanced notice
published in the local newspaper. Accommodations were made to ensure adequate access for
disabled individuals. At the public hearings, the City receives public testimony on the housing and
non-housing community development needs, including priority non-housing community
development needs. The public hearing before the City Council includes the draft Consolidated Plan
proposed activities. A third public hearing will be scheduled at the time the City prepares it Annual
Performance Report in order to provide adequate information to its residents to review the progress
of housing and non-housing HOME, ESG, and CDBG funded activities.
IV. CHANGES FROM THE 1995 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
The 200012005 Consolidated Plan contains a number of new sources of information and several
changes and additions in program priorities from the 1995 Consolidated Plan. The eight (8)
priorities are listed below:
High Priority # I: Preserve and Rehabilitate Existing Single Family Dwellings.
High Priority #2: Expand Homeownership Opportunities and Assist Homebnyers with
the Purchase of Affordable Housing (Existing and New Construction).
High Priority #3: Provide Rental Assistance and Preserve Existing Affordable Rental
Housing.
High Priority #4: Assist Homeless and Special Need Persons with Supportive Services
Programs.
High Priority #5: Expand "Affordable" Housing Opportunities through New
Construction (to Address Special Needs that are not met Through
other Public or Private Initiatives).

"
City of San Bernardino - Consolidated Plan - FY 2000-2005 '
High Priority #6:
Promote Economic Development and Employment Opportunities for
Low- and Moderate-Income Households
High Priority #7:
Improve and Expand Infrastructure to Meet Current and Future
Needs
High Priority #8:
Eliminate Impediments to Fair Housing Through Education,
Enforcement, and Testing
Changes in Program Priorities
1. Less Emphasis on New Housing Construction for Low/Moderate-Income Households.
The 1995 Consolidated Plan included a priority (Priority #5) for increasing the supply of
low/moderate-income housing, particularly for large families. The 2000-2005 Plan
recognizes that San Bernardino already has sufficient housing to meet most low-income
needs, including large family housing needs. The problem is the condition and availability of
that housing. The program emphasis in the new Consolidated Plan is to use public and
private investment to preserve, improve, and increase the availability of existing housing to
low- and moderate-income households.
2. Special Needs Housing. The City recognizes that, despite the general availability of
housing for low- and moderate-income households, special circumstances exist in which
public and private efforts will not address the needs of particular low- or moderate-income
individuals (such as frail elderly or handicapped individuals). The City has included as a
priority the construction of such special needs housing in the 2000/2005 Consolidated Plan.
V. COMMUNITY PROFILE
Located at the base of the San Bemardino Mountains in the "Heart ofthe Inland Empire," and within
a sixty mile radius to ocean beaches, desert playgrounds, and mountain resorts, San Bemardino
offers the best possible location for recreation, culture, and employment opportunities. The City is
served by major transportation routes including Interstates 10 and 215, railroads, and the Metrolink
commuter train serving the greater Los Angeles area. Metrolink provides opportunities for workers
from the Los Angeles area to live in San Bernardino in quality housing at affordable prices. In
addition, an ample supply of inexpensive, undeveloped land exits within the City, ensuring that the
construction of entry level homes to serve the needs of first time buyers. San Bemardino also has
vacant land in hilldside and other areas on the fringes of the City that is suitable for more expensive
homes oriented to middle- and upper-income households.
Because much of the information for the community profile is only available from the 1990
Census, most of the Census data that was cited in the 1995 Plan has been retained in the
2000/2005 Plan. However, several important community statistics and needs evaluations have
been updated from various public and private sources. Updated information includes:
· estimates of the number of cases and potential exposure to lead-based paint

The following summarizes updated community data, housing and non-housing community needs,
and the needs of special population groups that are discussed in the Consolidated Plan.
a. Employment Growth. Accelerated job growth and San Bemardino ranking number one in
population, retail sales, and financial deposits within the County, all contribute to the City's
significant attractiveness for new investment development. Between 1990 to 1999, San
Bemardino's population grew by approximately 13 percent. Most of these jobs are projected to be in
services and other industries with low to moderate wages, however, The City's current population of
roughly 185,000 residents is expected to grow to 256,418 by the year 2020. Even with the
anticipated job growth, San Bemardino faces many challenges:
. persistently high unemployment
. underused commercial and industrial land
. high proportion oflow-skill workers
The City's economic base has not fully recovered from the loss of jobs from the closure of Norton
AFB. Although there has been commercial and industrial development in the City since the 1990s,
most job creation has been in the service and retail sectors. During the 1990s, the City has taken
aggressive steps to attract more employers that will bring professional and technical jobs to the City,
helping to balance the economic profile of its residents and creating a demand for additional middle-
and upper-income housing.

City of San Bernardino - Consolidated Plan - FY 2000-2005 .
b. Income. Based upon 1998 data, the median family income for a family of four within the County
of San Bemardino was $26,845. This figure is 36 percent less than the median income within San
Bemardino County ($36,596). The 1999 HUD median income estimate in the County for a family
of four is $47,400. Based upon this figure, a very low-income family (one whose income is 50
percent or less of the County median income) within the City of San Bernardino would have an
annual income of$23,600 or less (see map I in Consolidated Plan). Families with low-incomes (one
whose income is between 50 and 80 percent of the County median) would have annual eamings
ranging from $23,600 to $37,760 per year (see map 2 in Consolidated Plan).
c. Population Growth. As of January 1999, the City of San Bemardino was home to 185,000
residents, an increase of about 13 percent from 1990 (164,164) and 57 percent since 1980 (117,490).
The City's rate of population growth, while substantial over the past 20 years, was still below the
countywide rate of86 percent. The population ofthe City of San Bernardino is still growing, but at a
significantly reduced rate (less than one percent annually). Most other cities increased much faster in
population during the 1980s than did San Bernardino. During the 1990s, however, San Bernardino
experienced population growth that exceeded that of many other cities.
d. Ethnicity. Non-census population estimates during the late 1990s suggest that the City's
racial/ethnic composition have changed substantially. The non-Hispanic White population decreases
from about 45% to 37% ofthe citywide total, while the Hispanic population increased from 34% to
43%. The percentage of Blacks and individuals of AsianlPacific Islander ancestry increased
slightly during the 1990s. By 20 I 0, Hispanics will likely be a majority population group in the City,
followed by non-Hispanic Whites at about one-third of the City's population. Califomia Department
of Finance estimates and projections show that about two-thirds of population growth results from
natural increase, while nearly 90% of population growth for Hispanics results from natural increase.
Historically, households of Hispanic origin have maintained larger families which favors higher
population growth for this group.
The distribution of population is not expected to change dramatically from that reported in 1995,
except that Hispanic households are expected to become the largest minority group, or majority
group, in some areas that are now predominantly non-Hispanic Whites.
Low-income concentrations, and/or areas of high unemployment tend to coincide with areas of
racial/ethnic concentrations. Data on low-income concentrations within the City of San Bernardino
confirm this tendency. The census tracts within which the median income is less than 80 percent of
the area median income generally overlays the Common Council Wards in which there is an
ethniclracial concentration of 50 percent or more. The highest areas of unemployment within the
City of San Bemardino are within the central portion of the City and the central westem edge ofthe
City (see map 6 in Consolidated Plan).
VI. HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
The needs section of the Consolidated Plan outlines the extent of need by various groups for housing
and the problems with community development that need to be addressed. Among the most urgent
P:IFORMSIJ{OUSING FORMSICONSOLIDATED PLAM2000 CONSOLIDATED PLAN REV 2.DOC
5
2000-114
,
,
City of San Bernardino - Consolidated Plan - FY 2000-2005 '
problems facing San Bernardino are: I) cost burden (a high percentage of income spent on housing),
2) substandard housing conditions, and 3) homelessness.
a. Cost Burden. Over one-third of the City's households paid more than 30% of their incomes for
housing expenses in 1990, while over three-fourths of extremely low-income renters paid more than
30%. Even among middle-income homeowners, nearly one-third paid more than 30 % of income
for housing expenses. Detailed statistics on cost-burden are not available for 1999, but changes in
housing prices relative to income suggest that the situation has improved slightly since 1990, with
the most significant gains in affordability experienced in the last three years. Although real housing
costs have not increased dramatically since 1990, real incomes for most City residents were also
stagnant during much of the 1990s. Improvements in income during the late 1990s may suggest that
some low- and moderate-income households have a lower housing cost burden in the year 2000 than
in 1990. However, the cost burden for the lowest-income residents, those in minimum wage jobs
and on public assistance, has probably not improved since 1990 since real incomes for these groups
have declined over the past decade.
b. Substandard Housing Conditions. Another housing problem within the City of San Bemardino
is the high proportion of older homes in substandard condition. The physical condition of the
housing stock is the second significant issue identified in the Community Profile. Although most
dwelling units in the City are in sound condition, a recent housing condition survey found that the
majority of dwelling units on about two-thirds of the blocks examined had deferred maintenance
problems or needed rehabilitation (mostly the correction of minor deficiencies).
c. Homeownership. A lack of homeownership is an additional housing problem within the City.
Fifty two percent of the City's housing units is owner-occupied, while 48 percent are renter-
occupied, including over one quarter (28%) of single family dwellings. When vacant rental housing
units are included, over half ofthe City's housing stock is rental housing. Sixty percent of the City's
housing units is single family dwellings while another eight percent are mobile homes. Since 1995,
the City has experienced a large number ofHUD repossessed homes and rental single-family homes
that further challenge the City's stated objective of increasing homeownership for low- and
moderate-income households.
d. Homeless Needs. The City's homeless strategies will remain essentially the same as in 1995, but
with greater targeting of funds to address the causes ofhomelessness (in contrast to the construction
of homeless shelters) and to provide immediate assistance to those with urgent needs (such as the
mentally ill, substance abusers, women and children escaping violent home environments) who are
in immediate danger themselves or present a potential danger to others.
As the center of most social and housing support services in the county, San Bemardino has a
disproportionate number of homeless individuals in relation to the overall population. A 1997
survey by the County Homeless Coalition estimated the homeless population at 2,254. Previous
estimates of homelessness in the City range from 1,000 to 2,000 individuals. Contacts with
homeless and social service providers in 1999 indicated that this range is still valid, but probably
closer to 2,000 on the average. If accurate, the overwhelming majority of homeless individuals in
San Bemardino County, perhaps over 80%, are in the City of San Bemardino.
P.-IFORMSIHOUSfNG FORMSICONSOLIDATED PLAM2000 CONSOLIDATED PLAN REV 2.DOC

2000-114
City of San Bernardino - Consolidated Plan - FY 2000-2005
While it is difficult to obtain an accurate count ofthe total homeless population, estimates indicate
that total range ofhomelessness in the City may be as low as 1,000 persons and as high as 2,000
persons. This estimate is within the same range previous estimates by homeless service providers
from the early 1990s County Homeless Coalition 1997 survey. It is estimated that the City has
approximately 30 organizations providing a variety of services, including housing, food, emergency
financial assistance, job referralsltrainingleducational guidance, and basic social skills to the
homeless population within the City of San Bemardino.
i. Other Special Needs Groups. The City's strategies to meet other special needs (such as
frail elderly, persons with disabilities, persons suffering from mental illness, persons with
HIV/AIDS, substance abusers) is essentially the same as in 1995. The City does not expect
to begin any new program initiatives or make use of new sources of federal, state, or local
funding that were not available in 1995. Rather, the City will continue to target programs
and resources to the highest priority needs and adjust its targets as priority needs change.
Sub-populations of the homeless include individuals with mental disabilities, substance
abuse problems, or AIDS; veterans; chronically unemployed persons, and very low-income
families who have experienced severe financial difficulties. Each ofthese sub-populations
have different needs that include substance abuse recovery, mental health treatment, medical
attention, andjob training and placement. Anecdotal evidence from social service providers
suggest that special needs populations with age, illness, and substance abuse related
conditions have increased in San Bernardino, though not dramatically, while the number of
unemployed and non-retired households on public assistance have declined since 1995.
ii. Homeless Families with Children. As stated earlier, the City of San Bemardino has
several organizations that provide a variety of services specifically for homeless persons.
Some provide emergency shelter and transitional housing, while others provide supportive
service for homeless and other special needs groups. The scope ofhomelessness in the area
continues to exceed these organizations' ability to provide adequate services to all homeless
individuals desiring and requiring services. Thus, there is an unmet need within the City,
although the total extent of that need is unknown. Improving economic conditions may have
reduced the number of families facing homelessness since 1995, but current statistics on
low-wage and public assistance incomes relative to housing costs suggest that homelessness
is still a threat for most extremely low-income households.
iii. Other Issues. The Children's Fund, Inc., which operates within the City of San
Bemardino, provides services primarily for homeless youth. Other facilities provide food
and clothing for this segment of the homeless population. Los Padrinos Youth Services
provides runawayl"throwaway" (minors who are expelled from their homes) homeless youth
services including individual and family counseling and follow up services. The Frazee
Center and Salvation Army also provides services for homeless individuals, families and
youth.

2000-114
City olSan Bernardino - Consolidated Plan - FY 2000-2005'
VII. NON HOUSING COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The City's non-housing community development priorities are to: 1) repair or replace aged
infrastructure in older neighborhoods to support community and economic development objectives,
2) revitalize the downtown and other older commercial districts, 3) attract high-tech, production, and
other high-wage industries to the City, and 4) train youth, the unemployed, and underemployed
residents to provide a productive, skilled work force that meets the future needs of businesses.
a. Infrastructure Improvements. The City has adopted a five-year Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) covering fiscal years 1999 through 2004. The program identifies a number of public facility
and infrastructure needs, ranging from general building improvements to parks and recreation. The
Plan proposes to spend nearly $85 million over a five-year period, approximately half (47 percent)
for street and street lighting improvements, one quarter (22 percent) for sewer system improvements,
15 percent for storm drainage and flood control, and the remainder for general building, traffic
control, and parks and recreation. These expenditures reflect the City's priority to improve older
neighborhoods and provide new infrastructure in support the City's economic development goals
(Priority #7 of the Consolidated Plan).
b. Economic Development. Since the adoption of the 1995 Consolidated Plan, unemployment in
San Bernardino has declined substantially and job growth has resumed, although unemployment
remains substantially higher than the countywide rate. Most of the City's new employment
continues to be in lower-wage retail and service positions, however. The City's historic lack of
production industry is a primary reason why the City lacks a sufficient number of high-wage jobs.
Expanding the production base of technology industries is the key to generating high-wage
employment on a large enough scale to raise local incomes and living standards, an accomplishment
unreachable by retail, tourism, or government jobs. In addition, the City needs to continue its efforts
at improving the downtown and older commercial districts, identifying industry niches for which the
City has a comparative advantage, and training the local workforce to meet the needs of a changing
economy. For this reason, the City has adopted Priority #6 "Promotion of Economic Development
& Employment Opportunities for Low and Moderate Income Households" as a new component to
the 2000 Consolidated Plan.
Public Services. The City's priorities for public services are to improve emergency services,
childcare, senior services, homeless supportive services, recreation opportunities, outreach and
counseling, and after-school and other youth programs. The City's goal is to provide a safe living
environment for all of its residents in which daily living needs can be met by the implementation of
all eight (8) priorities depicted in the Five Year Consolidated Plan.
VIII. HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains a long-term strategy to deal with the housing and community
development needs within the City of San Bernardino. The City's priorities for housing and
community development needs were summarized on page I of this Executive Summary. These
priorities were chosen as the highest priorities for the following reasons:
P:IFORMSIHOUSING FORMSICONSOLIDATED PLAM2000 CONSOLIDATED PLAN REV 2DOC

2000-114
City 01 San Bernardino - Consolidated Plan - FY 2000-2005 .
.
The City's existing single-family housing stock is its greatest asset for providing long-term
affordable housing to current and future low- and moderate-income residents (Priority #1).
.
Increasing homeownership is the most cost-effective way to stabilize neighborhoods, provide
affordable shelter, and provide an opportunity for low- and moderate-income residents to
accumulate wealth (Priority #2).
.
The existing stock of rental housing cannot be duplicated and is an affordable housing resource
that must be preserved. Even as the City promotes homeownership, there will always be a
segment of the population that does not desire homeownership or for whom homeownership is
not a realistic financial alternative. Rather than construct new rental affordable housing, the
City seeks to increase the availability of rental subsidies for low-income households (Priority
#3).
.
The City of San Bernardino accommodates a disproportionate share of the county's homeless
population. The root causes of homelessness can be traced to the lack of supportive services
and appropriate housing environments. The key to reducing homelessness is to provide
supportive services specific to the needs of each homeless individual in a residential setting
commensurate with the individual's ability to function independently (Priority #4).
.
Although San Bernardino's general strategy is to improve the existing housing stock and
promote homeownership to meet low- and moderate-income needs, the City recognizes that the
construction of additional affordable housing, may be necessary to meet special needs, such as
for elderly and handicapped housing (Priority #5).
.
Housing problems are closely related to economic problems. If more city residents had the
education and skills necessary to obtain higher paying jobs, many of the problems of
overcrowding, overpayment, and substandard housing conditions would resolve themselves.
For this reason, a high priority for the City is to attract industries that offer higher paying jobs.
One ofthe factors in attracting such industries is the presence of a skilled labor pool. The City,
in cooperation with other public agencies, will seek to provide education and job training to
low- and moderate-income households with the objective of increasing the pool of skilled labor
locally (Priority #6).
.
San Bernardino is one of the oldest cities in the Inland Empire, and the infrastructure in many
older neighborhoods needs substantial repair or replacement. These repairs are vital to the
City's economic development strategy. In addition, areas of the City designated for
commercial and industrial growth will need new infrastructure to support the types of industries
the City is seeking (Priority #7).
.
The identification and removal of impediments to equal housing opportunity are necessary if
the City is to increase homeownership and improve the existing housing stock. For these
reasons, a high priority is to ensure equal housing opportunities through an objective analysis of
housing practices and community-based programs to promote, and monitor compliance with,
fair housing laws (Priority #8).

VIllI. NON-HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The City's non-housing community development priorities can be summarized as: (I) Increasing
employment opportunities for local residents and broadening the employment base to include more
moderate- and high-wage jobs; (2) Training and transitioning non-senior, able-bodied adults on
public assistance to the workforce to support objective #1; (3) Expanding infrastructure and public
services to accommodate the types of industries and employers the City is seeking; and (4)
Improving existing neighborhoods (curbs, gutters, sidewalks, paving, and lighting).
The City of San Bernardino is committed to expanding economic opportunities for its residents. In
addition to providing a suitable living environment with decent housing, the purpose of the
Consolidated Plan is to encourage and support the development ofa balanced, diverse community
by expanding economic opportunities principally for persons of low-and moderate-income. Short
and long term non-housing goals that may be pursued by the City of San Bernardino over the next
five years include: (1) Provide for a safe and secure community; (2) Seek opportunities for
education, recreation, and personal growth of the citizenry; (3) Activate community outreach and
communication and work to meet the diverse services need of the entire community; (4) Enhance the
physical beauty and promote the image of the City; (5) Improve housing quality and balance within
the City; (6) Revitalize major commercial corridors; (7) Attract and retain businesses that provides
skilled and higher income jobs; (8) Attract and retain businesses that will support job training and
provide entry-level employment to the long-term unemployed; (9) Improve the overall quality of the
roadway system; (10) Provide appropriate maintenance of streets, storm drains, sanitation, sewers,
public rights-of-way, public building, and other infrastructure; (11) Streamline City operations to
improve efficiency and effectiveness; and (12) Improve trust and communication throughout City
government and communications with the public.
These goals were obtained from the 1998 Mayor and Common Council Strategy.
X. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
a. Overcoming Barriers to Affordable Housing
To remove or improve any negative consequences of existing public policies, the City of San
Bernardino intends to maintain a dialogue with developers and the citizenry to ensure the best
planning, infrastructure and development decisions, and will continue to increase public awareness
and acceptance of the need for affordable housing services throughout the City.
b. Lead Based Paint Reduction Strategy
The goal of the five-year strategy is to reduce or eliminate lead-based paint hazards and prevent
childhood lead poisoning. Implementation of coordinated efforts for testing of children for lead and
lead-based paint abatement rests primarily with the County Public Health Department and City of
San Bernardino. The following is the lead-based paint strategy: I) coordination of public and
private eff6rts to reduce lead-based paint hazards and protect young children; 2) integration oflead
hazard evaluation and reduction activities into existing housing programs; 3) public awareness
through educational materials and programs; 4) education and advocacy.

c. Anti Poverty Strategy
The Anti-Poverty Strategy focuses on those factors affecting poverty over which the City has
control. Currently, several programs exists that specifically target households in poverty, assisting
them in improving their long-term financial and social positions to eventually bring them out of
poverty. The programs used by the City include:
. the Job Training Partnership Act (JTP A), which provides Federal funds for job training of high-
risk youth, unemployed adults and other economically disadvantaged individuals, providing
services at no cost to the participants to prepare them for entry into permanent jobs;
. CalWorks, combining public assistance to families in need with "welfare-to-work" training for
economic self-sufficiency; and
. the County Family Self-Sufficiency Program (County Housing Authority and Public Social
Services Department) which helps identify and remove economic barriers to make each
household independent of housing assistance programs by increasing household income and
eliminating the need for rental assistance.
. The San Bemardino Economic Development Agency and Employment Training Agency, which
undertake a number of economic, employment development, and skills training programs.
d. Institutional Structure/Coordination
The Economic Development Agency Housing and Community Development Division will continue
to focus on improving existing housing and neighborhoods while assisting the development of
additional housing for special needs groups when necessary. During FY 2000, specific actions will
be taken to achieve cooperation and coordination among state, local, and other public agencies;
private agencies; nonprofit organizations; lending institutions; and educational institutions in
implementing activities.
e. Public Housing Resident Initiatives
The City of San Bernardino does not operate public housing. The Housing Authority of San
Bernardino County owns and manages 798 units of public housing in the City for occupancy by very
low to low income families who pay no more than 30 percent of their monthly income for rent. The
Housing Authority has initiated several programs establishing Public Housing Resident Groups.
The City will continue to support the Authority's efforts.
f. Impediments to Fair Housing
The primary impediments that many San Bernardino residents face in obtaining suitable, affordable
housing relate to financial/economic considerations. Many low- and moderate-income residents face
economic barriers to obtaining suitable housing due to their low incomes. A second impediment that
residents may face relates to home purchase and home improvement loans. Programs implemented
will focus on alleviating these problems.

g. Strategic Vision and Mission for Change
Our vision for the city of San Bernardino is for it to be strong and prosperous. The City of San
Bernardino will be the hub of economic growth in the Inland Empire. San Bernardino will offer a
wide range of housing, recreation, education, and employment opportunities for all who live and
work here. A strong sense of community will continue to grow and thrive within our City limits.
Our mission is to provide quality and cost effective services to the people of San Bernardino. We
will provide excellence in leadership through the allocation of public resources to City programs that
are responsive to community priorities and maximize opportunities for economic, educational, and
cultural viability.
h. Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas (NRSA)
The city is participating with the County of San Bernardino under the NRSA pilot program. The
goal ofthe program is to identify blight areas and use all available existing programs to eradicate
blight through beautification rehabilitation of homes and infrastructure improvements.
Approximately $15 million is available over three (3) years to address blight.
i. Monitoring Plan
The City has an ongoing process for monitoring compliance with the Consolidated Plan, Annual
Action Plan and achieving Plan objectives through annual auditing of programs. If certain programs
are not achieving desired outcomes, the City will modify its approach and or substitute new
programs for the ones that are not achieving the desired results.
XI. ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
The Consolidated Plan for the City of San Bernardino also includes an Annual Plan consisting of an
application for funds under three HUD formula programs for a total of approximately $5.7 million.
The three HUD programs are:
· Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
· Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG)
. HOME Investments Partnership
These funds, plus program income to the City from prior projects, local funds (such as: general
funds, redevelopment housing set-aside funds) for profit and non-profit resources and in-kind
services, State and Federal grants, etc., will support the activities to be funded for the 2000/200 I
program year. HOME funds used by the City will support Priority numbers 1,2, 3, and 5. ESG
funds will support Priority number 4. Of the CDBG funds to be committed by the City in 2000-
200 I, Summary I shows the proposed uses and priorities to which those uses relate.
