Agenda Item Number: Ie ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF REPORT AWARD OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT(S) FOR PREPARATION OF THE CITY'S NEW FIVE-YEAR (2005/2010) CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING CHOICE BACKGROUND: The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that any local government receiving Federal grant monies, submit a Consolidated Plan (the "Plan") and the Analysis ofImpediments to Fair Housing Choice every five (5) years. The City's existing documents expire in May 2005 and the City is mandated to submit its new Consolidated Plan covering program years 2005 -2010, by May 15,2005. CURRENT ISSUE: The Consolidated Plan is a means to meet the application requirements for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPW A) formula programs. The City receives, annually, CDBG, ESG, and Federal HOME funds in the approximate amount of $6.4 million. The "Plan" is designed to be a collaborative process whereby a community establishes a unified vision for community development actions and it offers local jurisdictions the opportunity to shape the various housing and community development programs into effective, coordinated strategies. It also creates the opportunity for strategic planning and citizen participation to take place in a comprehensive fashion and to reduce duplication of effort of the local level. The statutes for these grant programs set forth three (3) basic goals against which the Plan and the City's performance under the Plan will be evaluated by HUD. The statutory program goals are as follows: I) Decent Housing 2) Suitable Living Environment and 3) Expanded Economic Opportunities. The existing Consolidated Plan identifies eight (8) "high priorities" set forth for Fiscal Years 2000-2005: High Priority #1: High Priority #2: High Priority #3: High Priority #4: High Priority #5: High Priority #6: High Priority #7: High Priority #8: Preservation and Rehabilitation of Existing Single Family Dwellings. Expand Homeownership Opportunities and assist Homebuyers with the Purchase of Affordable Permanent Housing (Existing and New Construction). Provide Rental Assistance and Preserve Existing Affordable Rental Housing. Assist Homeless and "Special Needs" Persons with Supportive Services. Expansion of "Affordable" Housing Through New Construction. Promotion of Economic Development and Employment Opportunities for Low-and Moderate-Income Households. Improve and Expand Infrastructure to Meet Current and Future Needs. Elimination ofIdentified Impediments to Fair Housing Through Education, Enforcement, and Testing.

The Consolidated Plan must address the priorities for using these funds. The following scope of work for the Five-Year Consolidated Plan is consistent with HUD regulations and the Guidelines for Preparing a Consolidated Plan. 1. Public Participation Process An effective community participation approach is necessary to develop a Consolidated Plan that adeQllately reflects the needs of the community. Community Meetings (2) Given the tight timeframe, CSA recommend conducting two meetings before the Citizens Advisory Committee to solicit input from residents, stakeholders, and Committee members. Our budget for these meetings includes preparation of presentation materials and attendance. Publication of public notices and mailing of invitations to interested parties is not included in our budget Interviews with Service Providers To develop the Housing and Community Development Needs Assessment, CSA will interview kc:''y' service providers to obtain information on needs, trends, and gaps in services. CSA will work with the City to compile a list of service providers to interview. Public Hearing (1) CBA will attend one public hearing before the City Council to discuss the Consolidated Plan. 2. Draft Consolidated plan Housing and Community Development Needs Assessment The Housing and Community Development Needs Assessment provides input for HUD Consolidated Plan tables. In the past HUD required jurisdictions to estimate all unmet needs and the funding levels needed to address unmet needs. This.'approach, however, led to astronomical estimates of funding to address the unmet needs and created a false impression that either such levels of funding would be available or the jurisdiction was nC?n~performing. Therefore, in our most recent Consolidated Plans, we have taken a' different approach and reflected only the funding potentially available from the CDBG and related programs 'bver a five-year period. Allocation of funding is based on result5 of the housing and community development needs assessment and priorities established with consultation with staff. Per-unit costs are developed based on accomplishments reported in prior CAPERs. This approach has been found acceptable to HUD. Housing Market and Socioeconomic Conditions: The Consolidated Plan should provide stJtisll,-,'! and analytical information to support the planning process. Information concerning housing n'~l- ! . the homeless population, market conditions, and barriers to housing. resources and opportunitre, will be included.

Task 1: Community Profile The City of San Bernardino has experienced significant changes to its economy and local housing market which have impacted housing opportunity. To understand this context, the first task is to provide a community profile that analyzes demographic, economic, and housing characteristics in order to assess the fair housing needs of residents. Information for this task will be derived from the U.S. Census, City housing condition studies, Consolidated Plan, Housing Element, Zoning Ordinance. and other studies. Specifically, the Community Profile will contain the following: A. Demographic Characteristics. CBA will analyze demographic characteristics of residents to understand changes to the population and the impact upon corresponding housing need, Demographic tactors analyzed vvill include, but not be limited to. the following: popIILI'" . growth, race and ethnic change, age, disability, and familial status.

Finally, CBA will summarize the number, type, and location of publicly-assisted housing. D. Special Housing Needs. Certain residents have more difficultv finding decent and affordable housing or receiving fair housing treatment due to their employment, income or source of Iflcome, tamiiy type, disability, or other characteristics. CBA will analyze special needs groups in San Bernardino, including seniors, people with disdbilities, single parents, large families, homeless people, and others.

CBA will use geographic information system (GIS) software to evaluate geographic relationships among demographic, economic. and housing variabll's identified in thE' tasks above to identify the spatial relationships among these variables. Where potential impediments are identified through the mapping process, we will conduct Cot\on!B riag, 'sf Associates 99')7520S3b 2.1 City of San Bernardino 1\1 to r air Housing Choi, (' further mapping/analysis to determine whether such characteristics are a result ot td!l housing impediments or factors of choice. The following maps will be provided: 1) Race/ethnic concentrations in the city by block group 2) Low-Moderate income concentrations by block group 3) Race/ethnic concentrations in relation to low-mod areas and affordable housing Task 2: Analysis of Public Policies CBA will evaluate a range of public policies which may impact fair housing within San Bernardino. Public policies include, but are not limited to, the following: land use, residential development, assisted housing, municipal services, and transit planning. Information for this analysis will be derived from the City's General Plan, Housing Element, Consolidated Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Redevelopment Implementation Plans, Omni-Trans SilOrt-Range Transit Plan, Public Housing Agency Plan, and other documents. Issues to be discussed are as follows: A. land Use Policies. CBA will examine land use policies in the City's General Plan, Housing Element, and Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, CBA will research the siting and maintenance of group homes, homeless shelters, manufactured housing, mobilehomes, multiple-family housing, second units, senior housing, and supported living facilities for compliance with state and federal fair housing law. CBA will also map the location of certain housing types in relation to areas with low and moderate income and race/ethnic concentrations. B. Development Policy. CBA will analyze public policies affecting residential development These include development standards, fees and exactions, building and other health and safety codes, community representation on boards deciding on housing issues, permil processing procedures and requirements, as well as other select factors. Since the last AI was completed, changes to State legislation (e.g., S8520 and AB1866, etc.) and fedf'ra! legislation have impacted fair housing planning for people with disabilities. CBA will an.II\' the Citv's Zoning Ordinance and Municipal Code in light of new state and federal laws. C. Service Provision. An important yet indirect aspect of fair housing is the equal provision of municipal or public services to neighborhoods within a community. To ensure fair hOlJSII'h opportunity, neighborhoods of different income levels and race/ethnic groups should haw reasonable access to the same quality or extent of public services and facilities. CBA will review the general distribution of select municipal services and their location in relation to areas with race/ethnic concentrations and low/moderate income concentrations. CBA will also document ways in which the City is improving underserved neighborhoods through its Redevelopment Implementation Plans, Enterprise Zones, and other focused efforts. D. Patterns of Occupancy in Assisted Housing.

E. Transit Services. Public transit plays an important role in equalizing access to important municipal services, particularly in a community the size of San Bernardino. CBA will review planning. financing, and administrative actions related to the siting of public transportation that may inhibit or concentrate affordable housing opportunities for people with disabilities. CI:lA will evaluate transit alternatives available for residents and persons with special needs to access the types of services in the community. Should impediments be found, CBA will identify and provide reasonable measures to remove such impediments. F. Mapping of Planning Data: CBA will use geographic information system (GIS) software to evaluate geographic relationships among demographic, income, housing, and service variables identified in the tasks above to identify potential impediments to housing choice. VVhere potential impediments are identified through the mapping process, we will conduct further mapping/analysis to determine whether such characteristics are a result of fair housing impediments or factors of choice. The following maps will be provided: 1) Location of public facilities in relation to neighborhoods with low-moderate incornp concentrations and minority concentration areas 2) Transit routes to major employment centers and accessibility (defined as 1/4 mile 01 other defined radius from transit route to a major employer) 3) Transit accessibility to major social services (e.g., whether transit serves the City's major parks, health care facilities, post offices, fire stations, community centers, etc.) 4) Transit accessibility to areas with minority or low income concentrations as defined by the City of San Bernardino and federal guidelines Task 3: Analysis of Private Actions This task involves an evaluation and analysis of the City's fair housing status arising from factors in the private sector, including landlords, tinancial institutions, residents, and the court system.

Cotton/B ridy,('s/ Associal ('s 999752,OSJt> 2-4 City of S,m Bernardino AI 10 Fair Housing Choice Task 4: Public Participation Plan The HUD AI guidelines stress the importance of public participation in developing the fair housing assessment, and suggest jurisdictions follow the citizen participation and consultation procedures identified in the consolidated plan regulations. The consolidated plan regulations require a minimum of two public hearings/meetings, one during the plan development stage and the second for the review of the draft plan. The AI guidelines also stress consultation with and involvement of the following groups in development of the assessment: . Fair housing organizations . Advocacy groups for special needs households . Affordable housing providers . Banks and other financial institutions . Educational institutions The City has a standing Community Development Citizens Advisory Committee (CDCAC) responsible for participation in the Consolidated Plan process, including the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing. In keeping with HUD requirements and in light of the City's expedited timeframe for the AI, we recommend holding one consultation meeting before the CDCAC to solicit public participation. The purpose of the meeting will be to gather input and direction on issues affecting fair housing in San Bernardino. CBA would make the presentation, provide presentation materials, take notes, and provide a written summary for inclusion in lh, AI. We assume that the City will make arrangements for the meeting and invite the above participants.
