INTRODUCTION
The City of San Bernardino has provided leadership in developing community strategies for providing
decent, affordable housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities for all
households within our City. The City has developed viable partnerships with the private sector that
include: financial institutions, real estate professionals, developers and private businesses. San Bernardino
has been at the helm in developing a strong collaboration with for-profit and nonprofit organizations to
access federal and state programs to increase housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income
households, eliminate blight, and provide necessary public support services for families or individuals in
need of assistance, as well as address needed public facilities, infrastructure improvements and entice
economic development activities.
The City has established its approach of developing goals and objectives that will have a long- term
stabilizing impact on City neighborhoods through the concentration of resources on eight specific
citywide priorities detailed in I. Strategy Implementation. The City involves its citizens in determining
needs, issues and the designing of programs and activities to address those needs and issues. The City
coordinates the efforts of its City Departments to meet the identified housing needs, and utilizes housing
programs and projects to create sufficient visual impact intended to stimulate additional private
investment in the City's housing stock and diversified neighborhoods.
For 2009-2010 Program Year, the City will be awarded federal entitlement funds in the amount of
$5,173,3i67 under the following programs: Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program,

Downpayment Initiative (ADDI), $9,018; and $156,661 in the Emergertcy Shelter Grant (ESG) Funds.
The Annual Action Plan contains the following sections:
I. Strategy Implementation Strategy Implementation details the City's investment plan for Fiscal
Year 2009-2010. The investment plan includes funding sources and available programs, a
matrix chart that details funding levels and number of households to be assisted under each
priority; the geographic allocation of resources; and a plan for delivery service and management.
II. Other Actions Other Actions states the City's proposed actions to ameliorate the negative
impacts of public policies, to examine and modify, if necessary, the institutional structure to
address obstacles to meet the underserved needs, foster and maintain affordable housing,
enhance coordination between public and private housing and social agencies and to reduce the
hazards associated with lead-based paint.

2. Available Programs for which the City Does Not Intend to Apply. The City of San
Bernardino will not apply for the following federal resources during FY 2009/2010:
Rural Homeless Housing The City will not apply for Rural Homeless Housing Funds because
there are no rural areas located within the City. Competitive Programs Table Support of
Applications on the following page indicates that the City will support applications made
by other entities for federal grant funds with the exception of Rural Homeless Housing.
3. Circumstances under which the City would not certify that applications of other entities
are consistent with the Consolidated Plan:
During fiscal year 2009-2010, the City shall support the efforts of San Bernardino County
agencies, non-profit and other entities in their applications for funding from all available
funding sources. However, the City will not support agencies' applications, if such applications
are not consistent with the City's 2005-2010 Consolidated Plan. The circumstances under
which the City will not support such applications are:
a. There is no demonstrated ability by the applicant to carry out the activity/project in a
timely manner.
b. Type of activity, size of proposed project, and lack of implementation plan to
successfully complete and maintain the project.
4. Plan for Leveraging Private and Non-Federal Funds by Use of Federal Funds. Local funds

programs funded by state or federal government and/or private enterprise. Financial assistance

Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) - On July 20,2008, the Housing and Economic Recovery
Act of2008 was enacted appropriating $3.92 billion for the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed
residential properties. The new entitlement program is referred to as NSP in which the City was
allocated $8,408,588.
The Agency will issue a Notice of Funding Availability (NOF A) to invite the development community
to, among other things, identify specific multifamily housing projects with a history of public service
calls, documented conditions associated with poor management and those sites that are generally
considered a blighting influence on the surrounding community. The City will set aside $2,100,000 in
NSP funds towards the NOFA of which 25% of said funding will be allocated to address the housing
needs of individuals and households whose income does not exceed 50% of AMI. The City will also
allocate $920,000 in NSP funds for down payment assistance to households whose income does not
exceed 120% of area median income.
In January 2009, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued in the amount of $3,700,000 for the
acquisition and rehabilitation of single-family homes through participating intermediaries, such as
builder/developer contractors. The City will purchase foreclosed single family properties from a bank
or financial institution at a 5% to 15% reduction of fair market value and rehabilitate them utilizing the
intermediaries selected through the RFP Process. The property will then be made available to an
income qualified homebuyer.
In addition, the City will allocate $920,000 in NSP funds toward an Acquisition, Demolition and
Redevelopment Program designed to address abandoned or foreclosed upon residential units in physical
conditions too costly for rehabilitation. Plans to develop the parcel as an in-fill unit or units would
commence as soon as the local housing market begins to stabilize. Under this program, properties
identified will be assessed by the City's Building Official regarding the structural soundness of the
property and, if deemed appropriate, demolition would occur. Several redevelopment options would
be considered. One option would be to redevelop the site utilizing modular housing thus ensuring
quality building products and a rapid contractual period. Other options might include selling the parcel
to a non-profit such as Habitat for Humanity for a reduced price to help subsidize their next new
construction project or another non-profit expert in special needs housing.

Under Priority #3, the City, with the assistance of the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County, will
assist very low- and low-income households with rental payments to alleviate rent burden,
overcrowding and unsafe or unsanitary living conditions. In addition, the City plans to facilitate the
development of new senior rental housing projects for low-income seniors.
According to San Bernardino County's Department of Human Services 2008 Annual Report, the City
has 32.7% of its population on some form of public aid, i.e., Cash Aid, Food Stamps and/or MediCal
during the year 2007. In addition, according to San Bernardino Unified School District's Research and
Statistical Department, of the 53,430 students enrolled, 83% qualify for the District's "Free and
Reduced Lunch Programs."
Three factors that contribute to the increased need for affordable rent and housing are: 1) the decline of
"affordable housing" in Los Angeles and Orange Counties causing families to migrate to San
Bernardino County; 2) the impact of economic opportunities that plague our local economy; and, 3) the
increase in families losing their homes through foreclosure. As a consequence, the City projects a high
level of need for housing assistance during the 2009-2010 Program Year. Table 3 summarizes the
activities to be undertaken, funding sources, funding amounts and projected number of households to be
assisted.

County, a private, nonprofit, public benefit corporation whose mission is to reduce the causes and
conditions of poverty and to develop and implement a coordinated plan to address homelessness in San
Bernardino County.
Grants for shelter and care programs have been awarded by HOD to nine (9) entities for 2009. These

D. NON-HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
As previously noted in the Non-housing Community Development Needs Assessment, the availability
of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies and other resources, will enable the City to
allocate funds to specific low-income neighborhood areas that are prone to neighborhood decline and
dilapidation. Through this effort the City reduces the risk of obvious delineation of lower income
neighborhoods; thereby promoting pride of homeowners hip and residency in all geographic areas within
the City limits and in turn, encouraging the economic empowerment of its low- and moderate-income
residents.

Two of the City's highest priorities are: (1) to attract industries and employers that provide higher-
paying jobs and a wider range of employment opportunities, and (2) to assure that local residents have
the necessary skills to fill those jobs.
To implement said priorities, the City, in collaboration with other public agencies, such as the San
Bernardino Employment and Training Agency (SBET A) and private enterprise developers, will pursue
strategies that promote the growth of production industries whose goods or services are sold to state,
national, or global markets to bring outside income into the community.
SBET A's mission is to train the work force to business specifications and to increase jobs for residents.
SBET A partners with industry to produce a competitive work force. The SBET A Agency is under the
direction of the Mayor and the Workforce Investment Board, composed of business leaders and
educators. SBET A serves both the employer seeking trainable employees and City residents seeking
employment opportunities.
The primary entity to implement these priorities is the City's Economic Development Agency (EDA).
During the 2009-2010 fiscal year, the City's EDA will continue to support job creation, job retention,
training, education, downtown revitalization, and infrastructure improvement efforts. Federal assistance
in the form of a Section 108 loan, float loans, economic development initiatives and other financing
such as redevelopment funds will be the resources that will be sought or used to assist the City in
Priority #6.
Table 6 details the organizations that the City will contract with for the promotion of economic and job
creation.

The EDA's mission is to enhance the quality oflife for the citizens of San Bernardino by attracting and
retaining businesses and jobs, eliminating physical and social blight, and developing a balanced mix of
quality housing. Programs offered by the Agency, such as the Inland Empire Small Business
Development Corporation, Grow San Bernardino Fund SBA 7 (a) Loan Program and the Small
Business Administration 504 Loan Program offer loan amounts for small businesses to expand their
businesses or entrepreneurs to start a new business.
The principal tool used by the Agency in its eleven (11) project areas is governed by redevelopment law
and consists of Owner Participation Agreements known as OP A's and Disposition and Development
Agreements known as DDA's. An OP A or a DDA may be used to provide financial assistance to a
project or development over a number of years to be paid out of tax increment. Each one of these
agreements is unique to the specific project and intended to make redevelopment of a blighted condition
economically viable as well as act as a catalyst for future development in the area.
Another program offered by the EDA is the Business Incentive Grant, which seeks to restore economic
vitality and investment confidence to the City of San Bernardino. The program offers financial
assistance to help business owners and tenants enhance the curb appeal of their businesses by financing
exterior improvements to their business properties. The program also provides grants to help business
owners retain their current employment levels or expand their current employment levels. The program
offers grants reimbursements that are not-to-exceed $ I 0,000. The applicant will be required to match
this grant dollar for dollar and will be reimbursed at the completion of all pre-approved improvements.
Additional programs offered by the Agency to foster economic growth in the City are as follows: The
Business Utility User's Tax Rebate Program rewards new and expanding businesses who create jobs for
City residents, increase sales tax revenues and/or increase property values. The program rebates a
percentage of the City's utility tax levied on electricity, gas, video and telephone communication
services to the business over a period of ten years.
The Development/Environmental Review Committee or the DIERC is a team of specialists from various
City Departments who review the detailed technical needs and requirements of projects to ensure that
the project will comply with all applicable rules and regulations. For many projects, the D/ERC is the
review authority and can save time and money for the developer or applicant. The Business Liaison
Program assists businesses who encounter difficulties dealing with a City requirement midway through
their development or simply need help in interpreting the, at times, complicated development process.
The Business Liaison Program helps guide developers and other applicants through the City entitlement
process.
The Agency undertakes numerous marketing activities designed to enhance the image ofthe community
and attract new development expanding both employment opportunities and the tax base. Activities
include the production of print marketing materials, advertising and public relations activities in the
printed media, representation ofthe Agency at targeted trade shows and exhibitions and the production
of a weekly, business oriented, television show targeted towards the business community. In addition,
the Agency and the City will facilitate the development ofthe following proposed projects or anticipates
undertaking the planning efforts to enable these projects to eventually be developed:

The Code Compliance officers enforce codes and inform violators that they are not in compliance by
issuing citations to rectify the problem.
Code Compliance's Neighborhood Revitalization efforts work in concert with the Redevelopment
Agency's Housing Revitalization Programs that utilize redevelopment housing set-aside funds.
Programs such as: the Single Family Exterior Beautification Grant that assists qualified homeowners
with improvements to their properties; the Elderly/Special Needs Minor Repair Grant Program that
performs minor and emergency repairs to qualified low-income homeowners. Other programs offered
are the Mobile Home Grant Program and the Homebuyer Assistance Program. The Code Compliance
Department and the Redevelopment Agency work in tandem with Neighborhood Housing Services of
the Inland Empire (NHSIE) one of the City's local non-profit partners that also provide Preventative
Maintenance and Homebuyer Education classes to City residents. Seventy two percent (72%) of the
City is located within a project area, and to further assist in the Agency's redevelopment efforts local
businesses can access the Business Incentive Grant Program. This program assists local business

owners, tenants, and property owners with a $10,000 match grant to enhance the exteriors of their
buildings.
CDBG funds will be utilized for Code Compliance officer's salaries and related expenses as well as for
administrative legal proceedings. During the 2009-2010 CDBG program year, the City will conduct
approximately 5,000 inspections. Approximately 300 homeowners, renters and businesses are
financially assisted by the Agency programs. In addition the Agency allocates up to $300,000 a year for
rental assistance to tenants that are displaced for Health & Safety reasons.
Many of the City's low-income neighborhoods have higher incidents of code violations. There are a
number of factors that influence this higher rate, including an older housing stock, lack of return on
income investment, lower income residents with limited or fewer resources for housing maintenance.
The City will commit CDBG carryover funds for the clearance and demolition of substandard
structures.
The City of San Bernardino will strive to improve the commercial and residential environment for its
residents by demolishing the most blighted, substandard and hazardous buildings. The focal point will
be on buildings that have been vacant for an extended period of time, have deteriorated and become a
public nuisance and have lost their viability for reuse.
The City will evaluate all current commercial buildings and rank them as far as their condition and
capability for reuse. Buildings that have become so deteriorated or out of conformance and have no
chance of "reuse" will be prioritized for demolition. Additional priority will be placed on buildings that
are umeinforced masonry and buildings that are located on the City's main thoroughfares.
The Code Compliance Department has identified vacant properties along the City's commercial
corridors in the City. In addition, the Building Division has identified buildings throughout the City.
Consideration will be given to those vacant buildings that have been vacant for extended periods oftime
that are experiencing severe deterioration. Priority will also be given to properties that are in close
proximity to each other, that will provide the greatest impact and save on demolition costs.
The following represents the criteria that will be utilized for prioritization of properties for demolition:
I) condition of property; 2) umeinforced masonry (URM); 3) lack of opportunity for "reuse"; 4) period
of neglect; and 5) deteriorating buildings on main thoroughfares.

To support the City's efforts in increasing housing availability and accessibility for low- and moderate-
income households, for 2009-20 I 0 the City has allocated $53,000 of CDBG funds for a Fair Housing
contract with the Inland Fair Housing Mediation Board of San Bernardino County (IFHMB). The
IFHMB will provide $505,485 of private funds for administration. The City supports a number of
programs and services to promote fair housing, including:
. Education workshops on State and federal fair housing laws.
. Mediation and complaint resolution.
. Monitoring of compliance by individuals and organizations involved in the sale, financing, renting,
advertisement, and management of housing.
. Financial assistance and economic development programs to mcrease mcomes for low- and
moderate-income households.
22
City oj San Bernardino
Consolidated Annual Action Plan FY200912010
@)[f@OO
. Provide homeownership opportunities in the community promoting the first time homebuyer
program.
Current studies of impediments to fair housing and monitoring of compliance have concluded that the
primary difficulties faced by low- and moderate-income households relate to their financial
circumstances. Most complaints submitted to the Inland Mediation Board involve Fair Housing and
landlord-tenant disputes. The complaints filed involve tenants' rights, evictions and security payments
and property maintenance issues. There appears to be a disproportionate number of complaints filed by
female-headed households with children, which could indicate that some single mothers experience
difficulties in obtaining suitable housing for their families.
In light of these findings, the City will continue to implement programs and support efforts by other
agencies to improve economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income households, increase
housing availability (particularly homeownership), assist other agencies in providing child care and
supportive services for families with children, and ensure that single parents are not unreasonably
restricted in their housing choices.

The impediments identified in the City's Analysis are:
. Lack of knowledge and awareness of Fair Housing Laws makes it impossible for residents to
recognize discriminatory practices by housing providers and lenders.
. Recommended Action: Increase the level of education through various means such as newsletters,
workshops, paid public announcements on the radio, community billboards, and personal interviews
on local cable television.
. Lack of housing opportunities for a wide spectrum of City residents that include large families.
. Recommended Action: The City will continue to pursue affordable housing development programs
as identified in the Housing Element.

E. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
The City's EDA, administrator ofthe federal programs and other redevelopment housing programs, will
concentrate most of its rehabilitation and preservation programs and activities on a citywide basis
through the Single-Family Beautification Loan/Grant Program and Mobile Home Maintenance Grant
Programs for low- and moderate-income owners.
F. SERVICE DELIVERY AND MANAGEMENT
The EDA has the lead responsibility for the development and implementation of the Housing
Component of the Agency's Five-Year Implementation Plan (2004/05-2008/09) and Ten-Year
Affordable Housing Compliance Plan (2004/05-2013/14).
The current five-year strategy incorporates all anticipated funding sources: federal, state, tax increment,
local funding, redevelopment, and private financing. These funds create single and senior multiple
housing and other identified special needs construction. The types of housing which will receive the
greatest level of advocacy by the City will be housing for the elderly, handicapped, special needs
populations and low- and moderate-income families. EDA will continue to focus on all of the new
construction, rehabilitation and special needs housing issues in fiscal year 2009-2010.
Numerous projects require the need to involve private developers, as well as non-profit developers, in
order to enhance affordable housing in the City. EDA is able to develop and implement agreements
with developers and provide gap financing, construction financing, and silent Second Deeds of Trust for
first time homebuyer programs. This is coupled with the implementation of housing rehabilitation
programs, grants for mobile home parks, infill housing, senior housing, and new construction that
provide affordable housing opportunities in the City.
II. OTHER ACTIONS
A. PUBLIC POLICIES
The City and EDA will continue dialogue and project coordination with various public/private agencies
involved in implementing the City's housing goals and continue to provide input on regulations, codes,
and ordinances that could potentially have adverse effects on the development of affordable housing.
B. INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE
The City and EDA will continue to aggressively attract housing development to ensure that all
development will be completed in harmony with the State Housing Element and Consolidated Plan's
goals. During FY 2009-2010, specific actions will be taken to achieve cooperation and coordination
amongst state, local, and private agencies and institutions in implementing activities.

City of San Bernardino

The City and EDA will continue to coordinate the execution of a regional homeless assistance plan with
a countywide Homeless Coalition and Community Action Partners of San Bernardino County. These
groups include: non-profit service providers, City of San Bernardino Police Department, County Board
of Supervisors, County Department of Public Social Services, County Department of Mental Health,
County Department of Public Health, Realtors, the AFL-CIO, Veterans, the Building Industry
Association, Habitat for Humanity, local colleges and job training groups. The participation ofthe City
and EDA in this cooperative effort enables and facilitates delivery of homeless services and resources
through effective networking. In addition, any development of homeless services outside the city limits
serves to lessen the City's homeless problems.
C. PUBLIC HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino ("Authority") owns and manages about 690
units of public housing within the City limits, and nearly 2,000 countywide, for occupancy by low-
income families who pay no more than 30 percent of their monthly income for rent. The Authority's
public housing program includes a mixture of single-family housing (scattered sites), multifamily
housing, and special needs housing (such as for seniors and individuals with disabilities) funded under
several state and federal housing programs.
The Authority is making a concerted effort to utilize green building technologies within its' capital
improvement program. While the current shortfall in Capital Fund generally prevents substantial
"green" investment, the Authority is utilizing whatever avenues are available to implement energy
conservation and sustainable building practices. For example, through an energy performance contract,
the Authority is utilizing private funding to install energy conservation measures at public housing sites.
Likewise, the Authority is utilizing funding directly from Fannie Mae to address today, public housing
capital improvements which are planned for the next 5 years, through the Capital Fund Financing
Program (leveraging the annual CapFund allocation to service debt). Through these 2 programs, the
Authority has managed to secure funding from sources other than HUD to address nearly $20 million in
general and energy-related improvements. If additional Capital Funding was made available, the
Authority would utilize a similar "leveraging" approach to address its' nearly $50 million countywide
backlog of 5 year capital improvement needs. Through the process, the Authority envisions continuing
the focus on energy conservation and sustainability not only to improve the environment, but also to
help grow the "green-collar" job-sector of the economy, which will be a key area for job creation,
especially in the building industry in the coming years.
According to the Authority, there are currently 12,024 applicants on the waiting list for the Public
Housing Program.
D. PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENT INITIATIVES
Due to the size of San Bernardino County, the Authority divided its service area into seven districts.
Every three years, Authority Staff coordinates and monitors the election of ajurisdiction-wide Resident
Advisory Board to represent the voice of the resident population in these districts. The Resident
Advisory Board's overall purpose is to improve the quality of life and resident satisfaction within

assisted housing. It also participates in self-help initiatives to enable residents to create a positive living
environment for their families.
E. LEAD BASED PAINT HAZARD REDUCTION
The Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Strategy is detailed in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. It is
summarized as follows: (1) Coordinating public and private efforts to reduce lead-based paint hazards
and protect young children; (2) Integrating lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities into existing
housing programs; (3) Public awareness through educational materials and programs; and (4) Education
and advocacy and (5) lead base eradication to the extent finances are available.
III. ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY
The City has set forth a comprehensive Anti-Poverty Strategy in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan that it
plans to implement over the five-year period.
IV. COORDINATING SERVICES
The City of San Bernardino will continue to meet with public and other housing providers, private and
governmental health, mental health, and social service agencies to use all available resources to their
maximum levels of effectiveness to provide for San Bernardino's needy. Meetings between these
parties will occur regularly throughout the fiscal year to endorse applications for funding and to discuss
cooperative ventures as they present themselves.
V. PROGRAM/PROJECT MONITORING
The City will undertake annual reviews of all agencies it provides financial assistance to in conformance
with 24 CFR 91.230. Findings will be provided as part of the CAPER Report due to HUD annually.
The report will describe the current status and success of planned activities as described in the Plan and
other information that describes progress and successes of activities.
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan priorities will be evaluated through comparison of goals, set out for
the fiscal year compared with productivity characteristics and completion data for each program or
activity set for accomplishments of those goals. The numbers with the objective presented in the Report
will state each program and priority's overall effectiveness.
VI. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
"CPD Consolidated Plan System Listing of Proposed Projects" identifies the City's Priority
Description and One-Year CDBG Funds Investment Plan for non-housing community development
activities for the City of San Bernardino. Proposed non-housing activities include public facility
