City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
Chapter 1
Introduction
The Consolidated Plan is a planning document that identifies the City of San Bernardino's
overall housing and community development needs, and outlines a strategy to address
those needs. The Plan includes the following components:
. An assessment of the City's housing and community development needs and market
conditions;
. A strategy that establishes priorities for addressing the identified housing and
community development needs; and
. A one-year investment plan that outlines the intended use of federal resources.
A. Planning Frameworks
The 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan for the City of San Bernardino satisfies the requirement
of four Community Planning and Development (CPD) programs offered by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD):
. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
. HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)
. Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
This 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan for the City covers the period of July 1, 2010 through
June 30, 2015.
B. Program Descriptions
1. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The CDBG program was initiated by the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA)
of 1974. The primary objective of this program is to develop viable urban communities by
providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities,
principally for persons of low and moderate income. Through the CDBG program, HUD
provides funds to local governments for a wide range of community development activities
for low income persons. CDBG funds are likely the most flexible federal funds available to
local governments. Funds can be used for a wide array of activities, including:
. Housing rehabilitation (loans and grants to homeowners, landlords, non-profits, and
developers)
. Down payment and other homeownership assistance for first-time homebuyers
. Lead-based paint detection and removal
. Acquisition of land and buildings
Chapter 1: Introduction
Page 1
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
. Construction or rehabilitation of public facilities such as shelters for the homeless
and domestic violence victims
. Removal of architectural barriers to the elderly and disabled
. Public services such as job training, transportation, health care, and childcare
. Rehabilitation of commercial or industrial buildings
. Loans or grants to businesses
. Grant administration
Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG
funds meet one of the following three broad national objectives:
. Benefit people with low and moderate incomes
. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight
. Meet an urgent need (such as an earthquake, flood, or hurricane relief)
2. HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)
The HOME; program was created as part of the 1990 National Affordable Housing Act. The
HOME program provides federal funds for the development and rehabilitation of affordable
rental and ownership housing for low and moderate income households. The program gives
local governments the flexibility to fund a wide range of affordable housing activities through
housing partnerships with private industry and non-profit organizations. HOME funds can be
used for activities that promote affordable rental housing and homeownership by lower
income households, including:
. Building acquisition
. New construction and reconstruction
. Moderate or substantial rehabilitation
. Homebuyer assistance
. Tenant-based assistance
. Grant administration
Strict requirements govern the use of HOME funds. Two major requirements are that the
funds must be: (1) used for activities that target lower income families; and (2) matched 25
percent by non-federal funding sources.
3. Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
The Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) program provides homeless persons with basic shelter
and essential supportive services. ESG funds can be used for a variety of activities,
including:
. Rehabilitation or remodeling of a building used as a new shelter
. Operations and maintenance of a facility
. Essential support services (i.e. case management, physical and mental health
treatment, substance abuse counseling, childcare)
. Homeless prevention
. Grant administration
Chapter 1: Introduction
Page 2
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
ESG grant funds must be matched dollar-for-dollar with non-federal funds or "in-kind"
contributions such as the value of a donated building, supplies and equipment, new staff
services, and volunteer time.
C. Lead Agency
The City of San Bernardino's Economic Development Agency serves as the lead agency in
coordinating the preparation of the Consolidated Plan.
D. Data Sources
The following data sources were used to complete this Consolidated Plan. Sources of
specific information are identified in the text, tables and figures.
. 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census
. 2006-2008 American Community Survey and 2008 Community Survey 1
. California Employment Development Department
. California Department of Fair Employment and Housing
. California Department of Finance
. California Department of Public Health
. California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division
. Centers for Disease Control (COG)
. San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health
. San Bernardino Unified School District Research and Statistical Department
. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
According to "American Community Survey - What Researchers Need to Know". the Census Bureau
cautions the direct comparison between the American Community Survey (ACS) data and data from previous
Censuses, particularly as it relates to income, age, and household characteristics, as different methodologies
were used or questions were asked in collecting the sample. The most significant difference is that the 2000
Census is point-in-time data; whereas the ACS 2006-2008 is period data. The ACS was developed with a
sample each year and data presented for 2006-2008 represents an averaging of the sampling results over three
years. An issue with this methodology is that when conditions in 2006 were substantially different than in 2008,
the averaging would "dilute" the data and therefore does not present an accurate picture of the conditions. For
example, the housing market conditions in 2006 were almost a 180-degree turn compared to those in 2008.
Averaging over these three years would not refrect the sharo changes in conditions. Therefore, 2006-2008 ACS
data in this report is used only as additional references. 1 he 2008 ACS is also a period estimate, averaging
estimates from the year 2008; this is the data that is predominantly used in this report to supplement data from
the 2000 decennial Census. The 2008 ACS data provides an important update and snapshot of existing
conditions. The federal government uses ACS information to evaluate the need for federal programs and to run
those programs effectively, and so it is important to be consistent with those assumptions. However, please note
that the ACS provides an estimate, not a 100 percent sampling of the population, and as such, there may
therefore be a significant margin of error in some situations.

Citizen Participation Process
Citizen participation is one of the most important components of the Consolidated Plan
process. This Consolidated Plan has been developed through a collaborative process
including participation of residents, service providers, and City staff. This section outlines the
efforts implemented by the City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency to solicit
community input in preparing the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The following primary
methods were used to solicit public input for the Consolidated Plan:
. A community meeting was held on January 21,2010 in the Economic Development
Agency Board Room as part of the Community Development Citizens Advisory
Committee meeting. At this meeting, participants were introduced to the
Consolidated Plan process and discussed community needs and priorities.
. A community survey, which assessed housing and community development needs,
was distributed to San Bernardino residents. Surveys were made available in
electronic and paper formats (in both English and Spanish), and distributed at
community centers and public counters, on the City's website, and at the January 21,
2010 community meeting.
A. Community Outreach Meeting
On January 21, 2010, the City of San Bernardino held a community meeting to discuss
priority housing and community development needs in the City. The City conducted
extensive outreach to reach a broad cross-section of the community and to encourage
attendance. In total, more than 15 residents and representatives of service provider
agencies attended, in addition to the five City of San Bernardino Community Development
Citizens Advisory Committee (CDCAC) members.
Service providers that attended the Consolidated Plan community outreach meeting
included:
. A Servant's Heart Outreach
. Apartment Association Greater Inland Empire
. Central City Lutheran Mission
. Inland Fair Housing & Mediation Board
. OMNIP
. Project Life Impact
. SI. John's Success Center
. Time for Change
. Universal Nursing Systems
Chapter 2: Citizen Participation Process
Page 5
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
The CDCAC chaired the community meeting. Participants were introduced to the
Consolidated Plan process through a presentation and asked to discuss community needs.
The CDCAC and participants actively discussed issues, needs, and concerns in the
community as related to the Consolidated Plan. A summary of the topics discussed is
included in Chapter 3. An outline of meeting notes is included in Appendix A.
B. Community Survey
As part of the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, the City of San Bernardino conducted a
Housing and Community Needs Survey to assess community issues and concerns in six
needs categories: Community Facilities, Housing, Economic Development, Community
Services, Infrastructure and Neighborhood Improvements, and Special Needs Services.
The survey was provided in English and Spanish and was available in print at City Hall and
online at the City's website. Overall, 143 residents and service providers representing San
Bernardino residents responded to the Housing and Community Development Needs
Survey. The survey questionnaires were made available at community centers and public
counters and distributed at the January 21, 2010 community meeting. In addition, the survey
was posted on the City's website in an online format.
Approximately two percent of participants utilized the Spanish version of the survey. Nearly
11 percent of respondents were seniors, and approximately 10 percent indicated that they
were disabled. Of participants who indicated their tenure, 24 percent rent their homes while
76 percent own. Appendix A provides a copy of the survey instrument and summary of
survey results.
C. Community Meeting to Review the Consolidated Plan
On March 25, 2010, the draft Consolidated Plan was reviewed as part of a CDCAC regular
meeting. Invitations to attend the meeting were sent to neighborhood groups and service
providers. Comments received during this meeting will be incorporated into Chapter 3 and
Appendix A.
D. Public Hearing
On May 3, 2010 the City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider the Five-Year
Consolidated Plan for adoption. Comments on the Consolidated Plan received during the
public hearing will be incorporated into Chapter 3 and Appendix A.
Public meetings and hearings were publicized adequately and held at times and locations
that are convenient to the community. The location of the hearing at City Hall is accessible
to persons with physical disabilities.
E. Draft Consolidated Plan Availability for Public Review
The Draft Consolidated Plan was available for public review for a 30-day period beginning
March 30, 2010 and ending April 28, 2010. The Draft Plan was available at the San

Community Needs
Chapter 3 of the City of San Bernardino 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan presents an overall
assessment of the housing and community development needs in the City of San
Bernardino. This needs assessment provides the foundation for establishing priorities and
allocating federal, state, and local resources to address the identified needs.
A. Household Needs
Examination of demographic characteristics provides insight regarding the needs in a
community. Understanding factors such as population growth, age characteristics, and
race/ethnicity all help with the identification and evaluation of the need for housing, facilities,
and services.
1. Demographic and Household Characteristics and Trends
As the County seat of San Bernardino County, the City of San Bernardino encompasses
approximately 60 square miles along the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. It is a
general law city incorporated in 1854, making it one of California's oldest communities. The
City of San Bernardino is one of San Bernardino County's principal cultural and business
. centers. The area evolved from a semi-rural farming community to an enterprise city with
large railroad companies. Its current economy is primarily based upon government, retail
commercial businesses, manufacturing, and logistics.
Population Growth
An important factor in determining the current and future needs for housing and other
community services is population growth. Documented population figures from 1980 to 2005
and projected population growth figures from 2010 to 2035 are shown in Figure 1, The City
of San Bernardino experienced its largest increase in population from 1985 to 1990, when
the population increased by 20 percent. A trend of population increase has continued since,
but percentage has declined; projected population growth is expected to be modest but
steady.

Year
The California Department of Finance estimates that in 2009, the population of San
Bernardino was 204,483, making it the most populated city in San Bernardino County.
Population growth projections for San Bernardino (Figure 1) anticipate that the City's
population will steadily increase at an average rate of 4.75 percent every five years, with a
resulting 2035 population estimate of 265,515. The overall percentage growth of San
Bernardino from 2010 to 2020 is projected to be around 10.45 percent, a relatively low
estimate compared to other surrounding cities, such as Colton (22.21 percent).
Age Composition
The age structure of a population informs current and future levels and types of housing
needs. The age structure is the distribution of a population by defined age groups. Housing
demand is affected by the age composition of a community, since different age groups have
very different housing needs. For example, young people may trend towards occupying
apartments, condominiums, and small single-family homes due to household size and/or
affordability. Middle-aged adults may trend towards demanding larger homes as incomes
and family sizes increase, while seniors may prefer apartments, condominiums, mobile
homes, or smaller single-family homes that have lower costs and less maintenance. Table 1
shows the age distribution of San Bernardino's population. The median age for the City is
estimated to be 28.6 years of age in 2008, which is slightly younger than the median age of
the County at large (30.5 years of age).

As Table 1 indicates, from 2000 to 2008, the percentage of youth in the City experienced a
slight decline, while all other age categories experienced slight to moderate increases. The
decline of youth as a proportion of the population may be attributed to natural aging of the
population, as the next age category (ages 18-24) saw a significant increase since 2000.
Youth still represents the largest percentage of the population (31 percent), followed by the
age category of 25-44.
2. Employment Trends
Employment opportunities attract and retain residents. Wages and investments establish a
household's income, which determines the household's ability to afford housing and other
essential needs and services.
Occupation
According to Census estimates calculated by the American Community Survey, in 2008,
75,514 residents of San Bernardino were employed, of which approximately 29 percent had
jobs in sales and office professions, the largest industries of employment for San Bernardino
residents. Other common occupations were in management, professional, and related fields;
jobs in these occupations accounted for 20 percent of all residents' jobs. Service jobs (19.8
percent), production, transportation and material moving (18 percent), and construction,
extraction, maintenance and repair (12 percent) also accounted for high percentages of
occupation types. The distribution of occupation types for San Bernardino County at large
was very similar to that of the City. However, residents in the County as a whole were more
likely to hold management, professional, and related occupations (Table 2).

The three largest employers in San Bernardino in 2008 were the County of San Bernardino,
Stater Bros. Markets, and the San Bernardino City Unified School District (Table 3).
The overall labor force participation rate in the City of San Bernardino was 59.6 percent of
people aged 16 and older in 2008. The 2000 Census also estimated that over 61 percent of
City residents commute outside the City for work.

Unemployment Rates
During the recent national economic downturn, San Bernardino County's economy remained
relatively stable, with unemployment similar to that of surrounding markets. In 2008, the
County's unemployment rate was at an annual average of 8.0 percent, compared to 7.2
percent for the State of California. The City of San Bernardino, however, had a higher
unemployment rate than the County and the State, with an unemployment rate of 10.9
percent for 2008 (Table 4).

3. Household Trends
Household characteristics provide vital information for understanding the dynamic needs of
a community. A household, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, includes all persons who
occupy a housing unit (house, apartment, mobile home, group of rooms, and a single room
that is occupied as separate living quarters). The occupants may be a single family, one
person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or
unrelated persons who share living arrangements. Persons living in retirement of
convalescent homes, dormitories, or other group living situations are not considered
households.
Household Composition and Size
The number of households in San Bernardino increased four percent between 2000 and
2008, from 56,330 to 58,604 households. As shown in Table 5, the majority of households in
San Bernardino were families (72 percent). Approximately 12 percent of all households were
female-headed households with children, higher than the County average of 9.1 percent.
The average household size in the City of San Bernardino increased from 3.19 people in
2000 to 3.38 people in 2008.
Among all family households, approximately 21 percent included at least one or more
elderly persons, while eight percent of all non-family households (i.e. living alone or with
unrelated roommates) were headed by an elderly person.

Overcrowding
Overcrowding can be an indicator that housing in a community is expensive given the
incomes of local residents. An overcrowded household is defined as one with more than one
person per room, excluding bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and porches. Severely
overcrowded households are those with more than 1.5 persons per room. Unit overcrowding
typically results from the combined effect of low earninl1s and high housing costs in a
community, and reflects the inability of households to buy ~. rent housing that provides a
reasonable level of privacy and space. Overcrowding accelerates deterioration of homes
and infrastructure, and results in a shortage of on-site parking.
The 2008 American Community Survey reports that 15 percent of occupied housing in the
City was overcrowded. The incidence of overcrowding in the City of San Bernardino was
much higher than countywide (8.6 percent). Severely overcrowded households were also
more prevalent in the City than the County at large; 6.3 percent of households in the City
were overcrowded in 2008, compared to 2.5 percent in the County (Table 6).
Table 6: San Bernardino City/County OvercrowdlnC) - 2008

Total Overcrowded (>1.0 Derson/room) 15.1% 8.6%
Source: U.s. Census Bureau. 2008 American Community Survey
The prevalence of overcrowding varies significantly by income, tenure type, and size of
household. Generally, lower income households and large families are disproportionately
affected by overcrowding. As indicated in Table 7, overcrowding is more than twice as likely
to occur in renter-occupied housing units (21 percent) versus owner-occupied housing units
(nine percent).

Race and Ethnicity
Race and ethnicity have implications for housing need, as certain demographic and
economic variables correlate with race. Similar to trends in other communities in California,
San Bernardino has become increasingly diverse in its racial and ethnic makeup (Table 8).
From 2000 to 2008, the overall percentage of White persons declined, while the percentage
of Hispanic persons increased. In 2000, Hispanics accounted for 47 percent of the
population; that percentage is estimated to have increased to 56 percent in 2008. The
percentages of Black, Asian, Pacific Islander, American Indian, and Other races have
remained relatively the same.

Comparing the racial/ethnic composition of the population with that of the householders
indicates that 28.5 percent of households in San Bemardino were headed by White persons
and 48 percent by Hispanic persons in 2008 (see Table 9). The racial/ethnic composition of
householders in the City did not mirror that of the County. In the County, only 37 percent of
heads of households were Hispanic, whereas White constituted 46 percent of householders.

Areas of Minority Concentration
Areas with concentrations of minority residents may have unique needs, particularly in areas
where recent immigrants tend to reside. A concentration is defined as a Census block group
with a proportion of minority residents greater than that of the countywide average. Figure 2
illustrates the concentrations of minority (non-White) households in the City. As shown,
virtually the entire southern half of the City (below Highland Avenue) has a minority
population of at least 56 percent (the county average). In contrast, Census tracts above
Highland Avenue generally lack minority concentrations.
Concentrations of Low and Moderate Household Income Population
According to the 2008 American Community Survey, San Bernardino households had a
median income of $38,282, or approximately 70 percent of the countywide median income
of $55,021.2
2
Even though the term "family income" is be used as a synonym for household income in State and federal
housing programs, the U.S. Census Bureau defines the two differently. While household income takes all
households into account, family income only includes households with two or more persons related through
blood, marriage or adoption.
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 15
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
Use of CDBG funds on public improvements can only occur in income-eligible areas. The
CDBG program defines income eligibility as any block group with 51 percent or more of the
population earning incomes less than 80 percent of the Area Median Family Income (Area
MFI). Figure 3 illustrates the income-eligible areas in San Bernardino.
Income Definitions
For purposes of housing and community development resource programming, HUD has
established income definitions based on the Median Family Income (MFI) for a given
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). These income definitions are presented in Table 10.
Table 10: HUD Income Definitions
I-- I-~ome GrouD % of Area MFI
Extremelv Low Income 0-30%
Low Income 31-50%
Moderate Income 51-80%
Middle/UDDer >81%
Income Distribution
Based on the HUD definitions specified in Table 10, over 35 percent of the City's total
households in 2000 were within extremely low income (30 percent MFI) and low income (50
percent MFI) categories, and nearly 20 percent were within the moderate income (80
percent MFI) category.
In San Bernardino, households with low and moderate incomes comprised over half of the
total households (55 percent). The proportion of households with low and moderate incomes
was highest among Black (64 percent) and Hispanic (63 percent) compared to White (43
percent) households (Table 11).

4. Special Needs Populations
Certain segments of the population may require special supportive services or
accommodations and may have difficulty finding decent, affordable housing in the City due
to special needs. Special needs groups include the elderly, persons with disabilities, female-
headed households, large households, persons with drug and/or alcohol addiction, victims
of domestic violence, and persons with HIV/AIDS.
A summary of licensed Community Care Facilities in San Bernardino that serve some of the
special needs groups is provided in Table 12, followed by detailed discussions of each of
the special needs. There are 65 licensed community care facilities located in the City of San
Bernardino with a total capacity to serve 1,083 persons.

Adult day care facilities provide programs for frail elderly and developmentally disabled
and/or mentally disabled adults in a day care setting. Adult residential facilities provide care
for developmentally and mentally disabled adults. Group homes are facilities of any capacity
and provide 24-hour non-medical care and supervision to children in a structured
environment. Group homes can provide social, psychological, and behavioral programs for
troubled youths. Elderly residential care facilities can accommodate elderly persons with
dementia and/or those who are non-ambulatory.

2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
Elderly and Frail Elderly
The population over 65 years of age is considered elderly. There are four main concerns
that affect the elderly:
. Income: Many people over 65 are retired and are living on a fixed income.
. Health Care: The elderly have a higher rate of illness and more medical needs.
. Transportation: Many seniors use, and are reliant on, public transit.
. Housing: Many seniors live alone and rent, and due to limited income, affordable
housing options are important.
According to the 2008 American Community Survey, approximately 17,313 elderly persons
resided in San Bernardino, representing 8.5 percent of the total population. Approximately
7,196 elderly persons were considered frail elderly; that is, they were seniors with a
disability.
A larger proportion of senior households had low and moderate incomes (59 percent)
compared to all households (55 percent). Approximately 35 percent of elderly households
experienced one or more housing problems, such as overpayment or substandard housing,
compared to the citywide average of 50 percent. However, elderly residents who rent were
more likely to experience housing problems (57 percent). In addition, elderly residents are
otten less able to make improvements to their housing due to limited income as well as a
higher rate of disabilities (Table 13).

As described above, there are 10 facilities that have a capacity to provide residential care
for up to 398 elderly persons. As shown in Table 14, San Bernardino has several affordable
senior housing developments that are income restricted and provide housing opportunities
for the elderly in the community.

The majority of elderly in the City of San Bernardino have access to the programs that
operate in the City. Many of these programs are provided at the two senior centers: Fifth
Street Senior Center and Perris Hill Park Senior Center. Many groups in San. Bernardino
provide supportive services to the elderly (Table 15).
In general, service needs of the elderly include adult day care, crime/victim and legal
services, education services, employment and training, emergency services, financial aid
and benefits, health information and services, housing services, in-home services, mental
health services, and transportation services.

Persons with Disabilities
The Americans with Disabilities Act defines a disability as a "physical or mental impairment
that substantially limits one or more major life activities." Physical disabilities can hinder
access to conventionally designed homes, prevent persons from earning adequate income,
and restrict mobility around a community. Mental disabilities can affect a person's ability to
maintain a home or job. As such, persons with disabilities often require additional services,
often related to health, transportation, and special housing needs. Special housing needs for
persons with a disability can fall into two categories: 1) physical design to address mobility
impairments; and 2) social, educational, and medical support to address developmental and
mental impairments. Housing opportunities for individuals with disabilities can be addressed
through the provision of affordable, barrier free housing. Rehabilitation assistance can be
targeted toward disabled renters and homeowners for unit modifications to improve
accessibility.
An estimated 18,248 persons' in the City of San Bernardino (nine percent of the population)
have one or more disabilities. This proportion is similar to that of San Bernardino County,
where 10 percent of the population is disabled. According to the 2008 American Community
Survey, approximately 10,124 persons with a disability in San Bernardino are within working
age (18-64 years old). Of these persons with a disability who are of working age,
approximately 29 percent are employed. An estimated 28 percent of persons with disabilities
live below the poverty line.
Severely Mentally 11/
Severe mental illness includes the diagnoses of psychoses (e.g. schizophrenia) and the
major affective disorders (e.g. bipolar, major depression). According to national estimates,
approximately one percent of the adult population meets a definition of severe mental illness
based on diagnosis, duration, and disability. Based on this estimate, roughly 2,036 persons
in the City may suffer from severe mental illness.
Housing is an integral part of a system of care for the severely mentally ill because the prime
support network and focus of daily living activities is associated with the residence. The
major barrier to stable, decent housing for the seriously mentally ill is the availability of
affordable housing. A substantial majority of persons in this population depend solely on
Social Security Insurance payments. With limited income, few persons in this special needs
group can afford rental housing on the open market. Due to the lack of access to affordable
housing, mentally ill persons are at greater risk of becoming homeless or living in unstable
and/or substandard housing situations. In addition, health care and mental health services
are an integral component of care for persons with severe mental illnesses.
The San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health provides a variety of free and
low cost services and programs for low to moderate income households. Services for
individuals with mental health illnesses include adult services, alcohol and drug services,
children services, forensic services, patient rights, outpatient services, and crisis services.
3
The American Community Survey refers to the disability status of only the civilian non-institutionalized
popuiation. Disability is defined as the restriction in participation that results from a lack of fit between the
individual's functional limitations and the characteristics of the physical and social environment. The Census
Bureau does not recommend any comparisons to disability data from the 2007 ACS and earlier due to
questionnaire changes.
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 22
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
The accessibility and affordability of health services are two major issues to low and
moderate income households since many do not have basic health insurance, or more
specialized care such as dental and vision care. In the past, the City has used CDBG funds
to support health services for low and moderate income households, particularly health
services for youth.
Developmentally Disabled
The term developmental disability describes a number of conditions that permanently restrict
an individual's development. The State of California identifies developmental disability as a
diagnosis originating before age 18 of one or more of the following conditions: mental
retardation, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and autism. The definition of developmental disability
also relates to a person's score on standardized intelligence tests. Persons with an IQ below
70 are typically defined as developmentally disabled. According to the California State
Council of Developmental Disabilities (SCDD), approximately 1.8 percent of the State's
population fits the definition of developmentally disabled. Applying this estimate to the City
of San Bernardino, an estimated 3,680 persons in the City may be considered
developmentally disabled.
It is possible for developmentally disabled persons to live and work independently within a
conventional housing environment. Severely disabled individuals require a group living
environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected individuals may
require an institutionalized environment where medical attention and physical therapy are
provided.
Six adult day care facilities (with a total capacity of 295 persons) in San Bernardino are
licensed by the State Department of Social Services to serve the disabled, including those
with developmental disabilities.
Physically Disabled
According to the 2008 American Community Survey, 17,320 adults aged 18 and over
suffered from one of more disabilities in San Bernardino. Over half of those adults suffered
from problems with living independently, which is defined as having difficulty completing
everyday tasks and errands due to physical, mental, or emotional problems. Self-care
limitations are also common for persons with physical disabilities; over 5,000 adults in San
Bernardino are estimated to have difficulty doing tasks such as dressing or bathing
themselves (Table 16).
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and amendments to the Fair Housing Act,
as well as California law, require ground-floor units of new multi-family developments with
more than four units to be accessible to persons with disabilities. However, units built prior to
1989 are rarely accessible to persons with disabilities. Furthermore, not all new construction
may have the range of modifications needed by specific individuals. Older units, particularly
older multi-family structures, are very expensive to retrofit for disabled occupants because
space is rarely available for elevator shafts, ramps, widened doorways, etc. In addition to
changes to the units, the site itself may need modification to widen walkways and gates, and
to install ramps.

Female-Headed Households
Single-parent households are likely to have special needs for housing, including proximity
and access to day care, public transportation, and recreation facilities. In 2008. households
headed by women comprised approximately 23 percent (13,411 households) of all
households in San Bernardino. Of these households, the majority (7,024 households)
included children.
Female-headed households comprise a disproportionate number of families that are living in
poverty. In the City, approximately 33 percent of female-headed families are living below the
poverty level, whereas only 15 percent of married couple families are living below the
poverty level. Countywide, 30 percent of the female-headed families were living in poverty,
and only seven percent of married couple families were living in poverty.
Large Households
Large households, defined as those with five or more persons, have special housing needs
due to greater household expenses in relation to income and the lack of adequately sized,
affordable housing. As a result, large households often live in overcrowded conditions. For
San Bernardino, the 2008 American Community Survey estimated that 11,454 households
had five or more members, representing almost 20 percent of the total households in the
City.
The special Census tabulations for HUD, Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy
(CHAS), indicate that among the large households in the City, approximately 74 percent
experienced some form of housing problems in 2000 (Table 17). These housing problems
include overcrowding, cost burden, or substandard housing conditions. As such, there is a
need for larger affordable housing units (with three or more bedrooms) in the City.

People with HIV Infection and AIDS
For persons living with HIVIAIDS, access to safe, affordable housing can be as important to
their general health and well-being as access to quality health care. For many, the persistent
shortage of stable housing is the primary barrier to consistent medical care and treatment.
According to the California Department of Public Health, a total of 1,439 HIV and 1,759
AIDS infected persons lived in San Bernardino County as of December 31,2008.
The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program is a federally funded
housing program to address the specific needs of persons living with HIVIAIDS and their
families. Since 1993, the City of Riverside has administered the HOPWA formula grant for
communities in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The City of Riverside contracts with
the County of San Bernardino to provide supportive services for persons with HIVIAIDS. The
City of San Bernardino does not qualify HOPWA formula funding. HOPWA funds are
distributed to metropolitan areas with a population of more than 500,000 and at least 1,500
cumulative AIDS cases. In these metropolitan areas, the largest City serves as the Formula
Grant Administrator. For the San Bernardino-Riverside metropolitan area, the City of
Riverside, as the largest City, administers the region's HOPWA grant.
In 1994, the Department of Public Health of San Bernardino County began receiving Ryan
White Program funding to support programs in San Bernardino County and Riverside
County. As of May 1, 2008, the San Bernardino and Riverside Counties have a total of eight
pUblic and community-based organizations funded by the Ryan White Program that provide
services to those who lack health insurance and financial resources to care for their ailment.
San Bernardino Public Health Reproductive Health Services provides family planning
services to residents in both San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Services include birth
control methods, male and female reproductive exams, STD testing and treatment, HIV
testing and referrals, pregnancy testing and counseling, education, and specialized teen
services.
Alcohol/Other Drug Abuse
Alcohol/other drug abuse is defined as excessive and impalrrng use of alcohol or other
drugs, including addiction. The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism estimates
the number of men with drinking problems (moderate or severe abuse) at 14 to 16 percent
of the adult male population and the number of women with similar problems at six percent.
Applying these general estimates, over 15,000 San Bernardino adult residents may have
substance abuse problems.
The San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health Office of Alcohol and Drug
Programs provides a full range of alcohol and drug services for communities and residents.
Prevention, outpatient, and residential programs are offered in every significant population
center in the County through contracts with community-based organizations. The following
organizations and programs in the City of San Bernardino proVide services such as alcohol
detoxification, treatment for chemical dependency, and homeless programs:
. Inland Behavioral and Health Services, Inc.
. Casa de San Bernardino, Inc.
. New House

Victims of Domestic Violence
Domestic violence often goes unreported, which makes it difficult to assess the extent of the
problem in communities. One source for San Bernardino is the county's Continuum of Care
application for Shelter Housing Program funds, which estimated that 12 percent of local
homeless are victims of domestic violence. A primary need for victims of domestic violence
is emergency shelter in a safe and confidential location. Subsequently, affordable housing
options are important to provide victims with options for housing, so as not to have to return
to an unsafe home.
Supportive case management services can be extremely helpful to break the cycle of
violence for victims of domestic violence. These services can include counseling, court
accompaniment, information and referrals, and personal advocacy. In addition, emergency
and/or transitional shelter, in a confidential place, is often necessary to ensure victims'
safety.
5. Estimates of Current Housing Needs
The CHAS developed by the Census for HUD provides detailed information on housing
needs by income level for different types of households. Detailed CHAS data based on the
2000 Census is displayed in Table 18.
Based on CHAS, housing problems include: units with physical defects (lacking complete
kitchen or bathroom), overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per
room), housing cost burden exceeding 30 percent of gross income, or severe housing cost
burden exceeding 50 percent of gross income. The types of problems vary according to
household income, type, and tenure. Some highlights include:
. In general, San Bernardino renter-households had a higher level of housing
problems (61.8 percent) compared to owner-households (39.1 percent).
. Large renter-households in the City of San Bernardino had the highest level of
housing problems regardless of income level. Almost all (96 percent) of both
extremely low income and low income large family-renters experienced housing
problems.
Among the other household types, a high percentage of elderly households also suffered
housing problems. Approximately 76 percent of the extremely low income and 66 percent of
low income elderly renters suffered from a housing problem. Cost burden was a major
component of housing problems for the elderly.

deviates slightly ~om the 100% count due to the need to extrapolate sample data out to total households. Interpretations of this data should focus
on the proportion of households in need of assistance rathe~ }~an ~~ precise numbers.

Disproportionate Housing Need
Disproportionate need refers to any need that is more than 10 percentage points above the
need demonstrated for the total households. For example, 85.5 percent of large renter
families (a subset of renter-households) experienced housing problems, compared to 61.8
percent of all renter-households or 49.9 percent of all households. Thus, large families that
are renting have a disproportionate need for housing assistance.
Extremely low Income Households (0-30 Percent MFI)
Of households in the City with a housing problem (49.9 percent), extremely low income
households experienced a disproportionate number of housing problems (83 percent).
Among extremely low income households, a higher percentage of renter-households (87
percent) had housing problems compared to owner-households (72 percent). Extremely low
income large renter families had a higher incidence of problems (97.5 percent) than other
extremely low income households (83 percent).
Low tncome Househotds (31-50 Percent MFI)
Approximately 79 percent of all low income households experienced one or more housing
problems, compared to 50 percent of all households in the City. Thus, low il~come
households also have a disproportionate need compared to the general population. Again,
renters disproportionally experienced housing problems compared to owners, as 84 percent
of renters experienced some type of housing problem, compared to 69 percent of owner-
households in this income group.
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 27
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
Low income large family renter-households had the greatest level of need among low
income households, with over 93 percent facing some type of housing problem. Small-family
renter-households are the next group in need, with 84 percent facing housing problems.
Approximately 66 percent of all low income elderly renter-households had housing
problems.
Moderate Income Households (51-80 Percent MFI)
Approximately 57 percent of all moderate income households experienced housing
problems. Similar to low and extremely low income households, a lower proportion of
moderate income owner-households (59 percent) had housing problems, compared to
renter-households (54 percent); however, the discrepancy is not large. Large-family renter-
households experienced the highest percent of housing problems compared to other
moderate income households. A large portion of the housing programs were associated with
overcrowding and housing conditions, rather than with cost burden.
Disproportionate Housing Need based on Race/Ethnicity
Table 19 below indicates the disproportionate needs of race/ethnic groups in San
Bernardino, as calculated by the CHAS. A disproportionate need was concentrated among
minority elderly and small and large family renters and owners.

6. Public Outreach Housing Needs Results
As part of the public outreach for the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, the City of San
Bernardino conducted a community meeting and a community survey. The comments and
insight provided from those sources are discussed here.
Community Meeting
Housing was one of the primary issues discussed by participants at the San Bernardino
Consolidated Plan community meeting. Participants were primarily concerned about housing
affordability and voiced a need for new affordable housing, especially for seniors and
disabled persons. Multi-family housing and mixed-use housing (housing with a retail or
commercial component inCluded) were recommended. PartiCipants noted that the Section 8
wait list is long, and the application is complex. With rising unemploymer,t, participants
noted a need for rental gap assistance to keep people in their homes.
City staff estimated that approximately 5,000 homes have been foreclosed in San
Bernardino between January 2008 and January 2010. The City has used Neighborhood
Stabilization Program funds to purchase foreclosed and abandoned homes and re-sell these
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 28
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
to low and moderate income homebuyers. Renters have also been affected by the
increasing rate of foreclosures. When investment properties are foreclosed, the renter is the
last person to know. There is often confusion over who to pay as well as concerns about
fraud.
Participants also noted that post-incarcerated persons have difficulty finding housing, as
applications ask for information on incarceration, limiting access to housing options in the
City. The Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board noted that while in previous years, race
was the basis for most discrimination complaints, now disabled status is the most common
fair housing complaint the Board receives.
Participants noted a need for housing rehabilitation assistance in single-family homes to
address blight and overcrowded conditions. Housing rehabilitation assistance can give
neighborhoods a facelift and encourage continued investment in the area.
Community Survey
Housing was one of the components of the community survey that was posted on the City's
website for residents and service providers. Respondents were asked to rank the relative
importance of a variety of types of programs and projects for each category. For each
category, the respondent was asked to indicate unmet needs that warrant expenditure of
public funds by ranking the relative importance of each need. In tabulating the survey
results, the lower averages (and closer to 1) represent the community's assessment of that
category as more in need. The survey indicated that participants felt that ownership housing
rehabilitation, homeownership assistance, and energy efficient improvements were the most
important housing needs in the community (Table 20).

7. Homeless Needs
Like many areas of California, San Bernardino County has a significant homeless population
due largely to the lack of affordable housing. The City of San Bernardino has stated its
commitment to coordinate services and facilities available for the homeless as a Continuum
of Care. The Continuum of Care stresses permanent solutions to homelessness through
comprehensive and collaborative community planning. The goal of a comprehensive
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 29
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
homeless service system is to ensure that homeless individuals and families move from
homelessness to self-sufficiency, permanent housing, and independent living.
The following sections provide an overview of the homeless population in San Bernardino,
summarize the housing and supportive service needs of the homeless and persons and
families at risk of becoming homeless, and provide descriptions of services and facilities
available to serve the City's homeless population and those who are at risk of becoming
homeless. Service and facility gaps in the Continuum of Care are also identified.
Homeless Population
The County of San Bernardino Office of Homeless Services conducted a comprehensive
survey of the County's homeless population in 2009. According to the 2009 San Bernardino
County Point-in-Time Homeless count and survey, approximately 1,736 homeless persons
live in the City of San Bernardino, with 968 of the persons classified as unsheltered
homeless, 747 persons estimated to be living in emergency or transitional housing facilities,
and the remaining 21 persons counted as using a hotel/motel voucher during the night of the
survey.
As part of the 2009 Homeless Count and Survey, interviews were conducted with homeless
persons regarding demographics and their housing and service needs. Some of the more
significant findings are as follows:
. The most cited reason for being homeless was the loss of employment. The top
three cited reasons for why sheltered homeless were unable to obtain or maintain
employment were lack of jobs (33 percent), need more education (30 percent), and
lack of transportation (27.4 percent).
. Approximately 24 percent of the sheltered homeless surveyed were employed,
compared to only 10 percent of the surveyed unsheltered homeless.
. When asked to indicate any government assistance received, approximately 47.3
percent of unsheltered survey respondents indicated they received no government
assistance, compared to only 29.6 percent of sheltered survey respondent indicating
their received no government assistance.
. Approximately 44.8 percent of all unsheltered survey respondents indicated that they
were experiencing a serious physical illness or disability, whereas only 24.4 percent
of all sheltered respondents indicated such.
. The majority of both sheltered and unsheltered respondents indicated that they lived
alone; 32.7 percent of the sheltered homeless respondents indicated that they lived
with family members only, including children, whereas only 5.7 percent of the
unsheltered respondents did.
Homeless SUbpopulations
Since homelessness is a regional issue, data presented in this section is also based on
statistics for the entire County in addition to statistics for the City. Much of the data were
obtained from the San Bernardino County's 2009 Application for Supportive Housing Grants
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 30
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
to implement the Continuum of Care system. San Bernardino County's homeless can be
divided into these subpopulations: chronically homeless, severely mentally ill, chronic
substance abusers, veterans, persons with HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic violence, and
unaccompanied youths. Chronically homeless persons make up 26 percent of the homeless
population, 12 percent are victims of domestic violence, 18 percent are chronic substance
abusers, 21 percent are severely mentally ill, another two percent are living with HIV/AIDS,
18 percent are veterans, and three percent are unaccompanied youths.
Persons Threatened with Homelessness
Experts estimate that two to three families are on the verge of homelessness for every
family in a shelter. The at-risk population is comprised of families and individuals living in
poverty who, upon loss of employment or other emergency requiring financial reserves,
would lose their housing and become homeless. These families are generally experiencing
a housing cost burden, paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing, and are
often living in overcrowded conditions. According to the CHAS data, 63 percent of the City's
extremely low income households and 26 percent of the low income households were
paying more than 50 percent of their income on housing in 2000. These households are
most vulnerable to sudden change in financial situations and may as a result become
homeless.
Individuals released from penal, mental, or substance abuse facilities also are at risk of
homelessness if they cannot access permanent housing or lack an adequate support
network, such as a family or relatives in whose homes they could temporarily reside.
Another particularly vulnerable population is foster care children. Upon reaching 18 years of
age, foster children lose eligibility for many public services and are released, often without
the skills necessary to obtain employment and a place to live. Several agencies throughout
the County provide temporary housing and services to abused, neglected, abandoned,
and/or runaway children. Once these children reach legal adult age, the services provided
by these agencies cannot continue. It is important to ensure that these young adults do not
age out of their program into a life of homelessness. Agencies such as the San Bernardino
County Department of Public Health-One Stop Transitional Age Youth Center and the
Centralized Children's Intensive Case Management Services (CCICMS) playa critical role in
planning a discharge plan to ensure youth with physical, mental, and/or substance abuse
issues are identified prior to their emancipation, and that they are linked to appropriate
supportive services and housing.
Another group of at-risk homeless persons is those facing foreclosures. The City of San
Bernardino is experiencing significant number of foreclosures due to the current mortgage
crisis and recession. Foreclosures impact not only the homeowners but also renters when
their landlords fail to make mortgage payments on their rental properties.
Inventory of Facilities and Services for the Homeless and Persons Threatened with
Homelessness
The San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP) was formed to provide a more
focused approach to issues of homelessness within the County. The Partnership consists of
community and faith-based organizations, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations,
private industry, and federal, state, and local governments.

SBCHP was developed to promote a strong collaboration between agencies to direct the
planning, development, and implementation of the County's Ten-year Strategy to End
Chronic Homelessness. SBCHP provides a comprehensive countywide network of service
delivery to the homeless and near-homeless families and individuals through facilitating
better communication, planning, coordination, and cooperation among all entities that
provide services and/or resources for the relief of homelessness in San Bernardino County.
The passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 provided
$1.5 billion for communities throughout the United States to provide financial assistance and
services to either prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless or help those
who are experiencing homelessness to be quickly re-housed and stabilized. HUD
administers these funds through the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program
(HPRP). For applicants meeting HPRP eligibility requirements, services may include short-
term and medium-term rental assistance and utility assistance, housing relocation and
stabilization services, case management services. For the City of San Bernardino, services
are administered by Inland Temporary Homes.
Preventive services are aimed at preventing the incidence of homelessness by assisting
individuals and families from slipping into the cycle of homelessness due to a temporary or
sudden loss of income. Mainstream preventive programs that are provided countywide
include:
. Emergency food assistance through food banks and local food pantries
. Community-based counseling services
. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)
. Emergency Food and Shelter Grants (EFSG) Program
· Food Stamp Employment and Training (FSET) Program
. Community-based case management and life skill training for low income
households
San Bernardino County's Behavioral Health Department is the primary non-HUD funded
outreach service provider to the chronically homeless, which receives funding from the State
of California via the Mental Health Services Act (2004). Some of the services provided
include outreach, crisis intervention, homeless prevention, specialized treatment after
release, and housing placement and maintenance services.
The Inland AIDS Project, Foothill AIDS Project, Inland Behavior and Health Services, and
the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health all work together providing medical
services to homeless persons, including field tests for TB, HIV, and other communicable
diseases. These agencies also provide general outreach functions related to such diseases.
Emergency shelters often provide accommodation for a few days up to three months.
Transitional housing provides shelter for an extended period of time (as long as 18 months)
and generally includes integration with other social services and counseling programs that
assist people in attaining a permanent income and housing. Permanent supportive housing
is rental housing for low income or homeless people with severe mental illness, substance
abuse, or HIV/AIDS with accompanying services that further self-sufficiency.
A network of nonprofit organizations operates 24 emergency shelter facilities, 24 transitional
housing facilities, and seven permanent supportive housing facilities within the County.

Continuum of Care Gap
Based on the homeless profile developed by the County of San Bernardino in the point-in-
time survey and the capacity of facilities/services offered, the unmet need can be
determined. As shown in Table 22, the San Bernardino County 2009 Continuum of Care
identifies an existing need in the County for nearly 790 emergency shelter beds, 258
additional transitional beds, and 381 permanent supportive housing units for both individuals
and person in families with children.

8. Public and Assisted Housing Needs
The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) manages 1,661 units of
public housing throughout the County of San Bernardino. These units were developed with
funding from HUD, and HACSB continues to receive operating subsidies for these units.
Throughout the years, other non-HUD units were either acquired and/or developed through
various partnerships with the State of California, San Bernardino County of Community
Development and Housing, various cities and Housing Partners, Inc., a non-profit housing
corporation. Throughout the County, HACSB has 1,136 authority-owned units, and 154 of
those units are located in the City of San Bernardino. There are 19,807 people on the public
housing waiting list; 5,780 of those live in the City of San Bernardino.
The demographic information of public housing residents in both the County and City of San
Bernardino is presented in Table 23. More than a quarter of public housing households have
a disabled member and 10 percent have an elderly member. With regard to race, public
housing residents are most likely to be White or Black (49 percent and 40 percent,
respectively). Almost half (46 percent) of public housing residents are of Hispanic origin.
Demographic information of the public housing waiting list is not available.

Tenant-Based Rental Housing Assistance
Section 8 is a rent subsidy program that helps low income families (those earning up to 50
percent MFI) and seniors pay rents in private units. Section 8 tenants pay a minimum of 30
percent of their income for rent and the Housing Authority through funds provided by HUD
pays the difference, up to the payment standard established by the Housing Authority. The
program offers low income households the opportunity to obtain affordable, privately-owned
rental housing and to increase their housing choices. The Housing Authority establishes
payment standards based on HUD-established fair market rents. The owner's asking price
must be supported by comparable rents in the area. Any amount in excess of the payment
standard is paid by the program participant.
As of 2009, 7,771 households received a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), commonly
referred to as Section 8, in the County of San Bernardino. Residents in the City of San
Bernardino receive the largest proportion of those vouchers (2,249 vouchers). Countywide,
approximately 68 percent of HCV recipients have children, are seniors, or are individuals
with disabilities; approximately 47 percent are households with children, nine percent of
households are headed by seniors, and 20 percent of all residents receiving a Housing
Choice Voucher are disabled. The waiting list for the HCV Program has over 27,000
applicants, 7,453 of which are residents of the City of San Bernardino. Table 24 presents
the demographic characteristics of HCV r.-articipants and those on the HCV waiting list.

More than 44 percent of HCV participants are disabled, and almost 18 percent are elderly.
More than half of HCV participants are Black (55 percent) and 28 percent are Hispanic. With
regard to the waiting list, a small percentage of households contain an elderly or disabled
member (5 percent and 6 percent, respectively). Racial/Ethnic characteristics of those on
the HCV waiting list are predominantly similar to those persons currently receiving HCV
assistance.
Inventory of Federally Assisted Housing Units
Eleven federally assisted multi-family housing projects provide 1,009 affordable housing
units in the City of San Bernardino. Table 25 provides data on the City's federally assisted
multi-family housing stock.
Potential Conversion to Market-Rate Housing
Among the 11 federally assisted multi-family housing projects, two projects are currently at
risk of transitioning to market rates (Table 25). The Village Green Apartments is a 184-unit
project that reserves 65 units for Section 8 vouchers. This development renews its Section 8
contract annually; as such it could transition out of its current agreement at any time.
However, the development has renewed its contract consistently in the past. Sterling
Village, an 80-unit apartment building including 74 low income family units, has an
affordability covenant that is slated to expire in 2013. St. Bernardine Plaza, San Bernardino
Senior Housing, AHEPA 302 Apartments, and the three TELACU projects are considered
low risk projects. These are nonprofit-owned senior housing developments financed with

The City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency (EDA) has preserved assisted
multi-family rental housing in the past by working with public and private housing agencies
that have expressed an interest in the right of first refusal. The EDA plans to use
redevelopment low income housing set-aside funds to support the preservation of units at-
risk of converting to market rate and facilitating the transfer to nonprofit organizations
capable of managing and maintaining the units. The City maintains a database of qualified
entities interested in acquiring and managing affordable housing.

B. Market Conditions
This section addresses characteristics of the housing supply in the City of San Bernardino,
including type, age, condition, costs, and availability. The implications of these housing
characteristics with respect to housing programs are also examined.
1. Housing Growth
In 2009, the California Department of Finance estimated that there were 66,640 housing
units in San Bernardino, an increase of five percent since 2000 (Table 26). San Bernardino's
housing growth over the past nine years was comparable to the growth experienced by
nearby cities, including Redlands and Rialto. Other surrounding cities, such as Fontana,
however, experienced tremendous growth in housing units (40 percent) between 2000 and
2009. The countywide increase in housing units was 15 percent during the same period.

2. Housing Type
The City of San Bernardino's housing stock is comprised primarily of single-family homes.
According to California Department of Finance estimates, single-family homes accounted for
63 percent of the housing stock in the City, whereas multi-family housing accounted for 30
percent in 2009 (Table 27). Seven percent of housing units in the City are mobile homes.
Surroundin9 jurisdictions share similar housing type characteristics, with all surrounding
jurisdictions having considerably greater proportions of single-family homes. A total of 75
percent of housing units in San Bernardino County are single-family homes, compared to
only 19 percent multi-family.

3. Housing Tenure and Vacancy
Housing tenure describes the arrangement by which a household occupies a housing unit,
i.e., whether a housing unit is owner-occupied or renter-occupied. The way housing tenure
is distributed in a community can influence different aspects of the local housing market. For
example, residential stability is influenced by tenure, as ownership housing typically exhibits
lower turnover rate than rental housing. Higher cost burden, which is defined by HUD as the
ratio between payment for housing (including utilities) and reported household income, is far
more prevalent among renters. A household's tenure is strongly related to household
income, composition, and age of the householder.
San Bernardino is closely split between owner and renter occupied housing units, with 49
percent owner occupied and 43 percent renter occupied. The remaining eight percent of
housing units were vacant in 2008 (Table 28).

4. Housing Costs and Affordability
Ownership Housing Cost
Table 29 shows the median home prices for San Bernardino and surrounding jurisdictions in
both October 2008 and 2009. The median home price in San Bernardino decreased by 29
percent between October 2008 and 2009, from $120,000 to $85,000. San Bernardino
County as a whole, along with a majority of the cities within the county, had a similar decline
in home prices, representative of the national housing and economic crisis. The median
home price for the City of San Bernardino has remained approximately half that of the
County during the decline.

Rental Housing Cost
Given the large rental market in the City (43 percent of all housing units are rented), it is
important to evaluate the affordability of the housing stock available for rent. The following
are 2010 rental rates based on an internet search of available listings:
. Studio: $525 - $700
. One-bedroom apartment: $625 - $790
. Two-bedroom apartment: $795 - $900
. Three-bedroom apartment: $900 - $1,250
. Three-bedroom home: $1,100 - $2,200

Given the median home prices presented in Table 29, homeownership and market rents
may be within the reach of some low and moderate income households due largely to
declines in home prices during the 2007-10 recession. However, extremely low income
households cannot affOrd market rentll in the City of San Bernardino.

Housing DeficiencIes
The U.S. Census Bureau's 2008 American Community Survey contains information
regarding the number of housing units that lack complete plumbing or complete kitchen
facilities. These conditions are both indicators of deficient housing units. Approximately 537
units in San Bernardino lacked complete plumbing and 488 units were without kitchen
facilities (Table 32). The percentage of units in the City that lacked complete plumbing was
slightly higher than in the County as a whole. The percentage of units lacking complete
kitchen facilities was the same for both the City and the County.

Lead-Based Paint Hazards
Lead poisoning can affect nearly every system in the body and its effects are especially
harmful to young children. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
approximately 250,000 children aged one to five years in the United States have elevated
levels of lead in their blood. Several factors contribute to higher incidents of lead poisoning:
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 42
City of San Bemardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
. All children under the age of six years old are at higher risk.
. Children living at or below the poverty line are at a higher risk.
. Children in older housing are at higher risk.
. Children of ~me racial and ethnic groups and those living in older housing are at
disproportionately higher risk.
The CDC has determined that a child with a blood lead level of 15 to 19 micrograms per
deciliter (lJg/dl) is at high risk for lead poisoning and a child with a blood lead level above 19
1J9/dl requires full medical evaluation and public health follow-up.
lead Hazards
Between 2006 and 2009 (three years), the County of San Bernardino Department of Public
Health's Childhood lead Poisoning Prevention Program reported 396 children with elevated
blood lead levels (BlL) of 10 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL) or greater. The cities of San
Bemardino, Fontana, Ontario, and Colton had the highest number of cases, respectively.
Cases in the City of San Bemardino accounted for 32 percent of total cases in the County
during that three-year period.
Estimating Number of Housing Units with Lead-Based Paint
The age of the housing stock is an important factor in estimating the number of housing
units with lead-based paint. In 1978, the use of lead-based paint on residential property was
prohibited. National studies estimate that approximately 70 percent of all residential
structures built prior to 1978 contain lead-based paint (LBP), and older structures have the
highest percentage of LBP.
CHAS data provides the number of housing units constructed before 1970 that were
occupied by lower income households. This data can be used to approximate the extent of
LBP hazards among lower income households. While information on units constructed
before 1978 is not available from CHAS, estimates based on the pre-1970 stock provide a
conservative depiction of the extent of LBP hazards. Citywide, approximately 1,023 units
occupied by extremely low income households, 3,120 units occupied by low income
households, and 4,276 units occupied by moderate income households may contain LBP
(Table 33).

Resources for Reducing Lead Hazards
The County of San Bernardino administers the HUD Lead Hazard Control Grant, offering
free home renovation services for low income families who live in residences built before
1978, have children younger tban the age of six, and meet income guidelines. The services
include testing of paint, soil, and dust for lead, a visual assessment of the prQlierty, assisting
with remodeling and/or renovation to remove, minimize, or contain areas contaminated with
lead, and inspections.
C. Barriers to AffordebleHousing
Both govemmental and non-govemmental factors can act as barriers to the provision of
adequate and affordable housing in a community. Barriers to the production of housing can
significantly impact hou~olds seeking decent housing, especially those households with
low incomes and special needs.
1. Governmental Constraints
Certain policies and actions of the City can act as a barrier to affordable housing by directly
impacting the production cost and availability of hOUSing within the City. Land USe regulatory
controls, site improvement requirements, building codes, fees, and other local policies to
improve the overall quality of housing may serve to constrain affordable housing
development.
Land Use Controls
The Land Use Element of the San Bernardino General Plan sets forth pOlicies that guide the
amount and type of local development and growth. Taken together with zoning regulations,
these policies establish the various types, intensity, and standards for land uses in the City
of San Bernardino.
The land use designations established in the General Plan are implemented through the
City's Development Code. Residential development standards in the DeVelopment Code
that often determine the number of units that can be constructed on a particular site are:
. Minimum lot area and dimensions
· Maximum density per acre
. Maximum lot coverage
. Height limit
. Density Bonuses
· Open space
. Parking
The City's Housing Element determined that these standards are similar to those of
surrounding cities and do not pose a significant constraint to affordable housing
development.
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 44
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
Local Entitlement ~roCft$ing and Fees
Various impact fees and assessments. are charged by the City to cover the costs of
processing permits and providing services and facilities, such as utilities and infraslruc.ture
for new developments. San Bernardino's fees reflect a fair share of the costs of providing
permitting, infrastructure, and services for new residences; almost all of these fees are
assessed through a pro-rata share system, based on the magnitude of the projecfs impact
or on the extent of the benefit that will be derived from the services or facilities for which the
fees are charged.
In addition to on-site improvements that may be required as part of a projecrs development,
off-site improvements may also be imposed to ensure a development pays its share of the
local cost of expansions in services, facilities, and infrastructure. Such improvements may
include water, sewer, and other utility line extensions; street construction; and related
projects. Dedications of land or in-lieu fees may also be required of a project for right-of-way,
transit facilities, recreational facilities, and school sites consistent with the City's Subdivision
Ordinance. Table 32 provides a list of the City's planning and development fees as of 2009.
Fees have been set at a level necessary to cover the costs to the City to provide this
needed infrastructure to the community. San Bemardino's fees are not high relative to other
cities in the County. However, fees do contribute to the cost of housing, and may constrain
the development of lower priced units.
Building Codes and Enforcement
The cost of construction is impacted by compliance with building code standards. While
code compliance can add to the cost of development, building codes and code enforcement
is necessary to protect the public's health, safety, and welfare. Although rigorous building
codes require a higher level of construction quality, which can increase the cost of
development, the long-term benefits outweigh the cost saving from unsound engineering or
poor construction. Initial compliance will also ensure that no additional costs will occur since
no code violations will result. The City of San Bernardino's building standards include the
California Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Energy Codes, and Disabled
Access Regulation contained in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.

2. Non-Governmental Constraints
The ability to fulfill housing needs is greatly constrained by factors prevalent in the housing
market. Non-governmental factors inhibiting the availability of housing include housing
costs, land prices and construction costs, financing costs, existing neighborhood conditions,
and consumer expectations.
l.and and Construction Costs
The high cost of developJ;l1ent in Southern California can be a constraint to new affordable
housing construction. As housing prices and associated land costs skyrocketed over the last
decade, affordable housing developers were forced to find additional subsidies to finance
development. However, the recent dowrllum in the housing market has caused both land
and construction costs to decrease substantially.
The cost of residential land has a direct impact on the cost of a new home and is, therefore,
a potential market constraint. The higher the land costs, the higher the price of a new home.
San Bernardino contains both vacant land and infill development opportunities suitable for
residential development. Land prices in the City vary greatly depending on the location of
and type of development permitted. Research of internet real estate database
www./oopnet.com showed that a single-family parcel in the northern foothills of the City was
for sale for $321,622 per acre, while a multi-family parcel in the southern half of the City was
for sale for $51,256 per acre.
The costs of construction (Le., labor and materials) also have a direct impact on the price of
housing. Residential construction costs v,ary greatly depending upon the quality and size of
the home being constructed and the materials being used. A significant constraint to
housing families is the specific design features (lack of recreational facilities or unit size and
design) in individual projects that are not suited for families with children. In addition, design
features such as stairs, hallways, doorwa~fs, counters, and plumbing facilities restrict access
by persons with disabilities.
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 46
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
Availability of Financing
Financing is a significant factor in overall housing cost. While the costs of land and
construction have decreased, the availability of financing is constrained as tenders are
tightening standards for lending. Interest rates impact housing costs in two ways. The costs
of borrowing money for the actual development of the dwefIJng units are mcorporated
directly into the sales price or rent. Additionally, the interest rate Of the homebuyer's
mortgage is reflected in subsequent monthly payments. Many conS1Jrners can be priced out
of the housing market due to variations in interest rates and tight lender standards.
Vacancy Rate
Vacancy rates may be viewed as both an opportunity and constraint. High vacancy rates
can assist in keeping rents and housing prices low. On the other hand, a high vacancy rate
severely discourages, construction of new housing units and can act as a deterrent or
disincentive to property owners to make improvements and even repairs.
The closure of major businesses in recent and not-sa-recent years, and particularly the
closure of Norton Air Force Base in 1994, has had a far-reaching negative impact on the
economy of the City and directly contributed to the high vacancy within the community.
Unlike other military base closures in California and the nation, the Norton closure was
particularly significant within San Bernardino. Unlike other military bases, Norton had very
limited on-base housing and relied heavily on privately owned housing market supply within
the City and surrounding cities. In turn, local landlords relied heavily on Norton to provide a
steady supply of tenants. That fact Is demonstrated by the historical vacancy rates within
the City: prior to 1994, the vacancy rates traditionally ran at five percent or less. The 1990
Census showed a vacancy rate of 5.2 percent. In 1995, following the basec/osure, that rate
jumped dramatically to over 17 percent; and since 1995, the rate has been steady at 11
percent. (While a quarter of those vacant units were boarded up/abandoned units, the
overall vacancy rate of for-sale and for-rent units was still high at over eight percent.) Most
statisticians and economists agree that a vacancy rate exceeding four to five percent is
unhealthy with respect to a local economy, and results in depreSSing the housing market,
particularly with respect to new construction. According to the California Department of
Finance, the City's vacancy rate was estimated to be 11 percent in 2009.
Foreclosures
HUD calculates foreclosure and vacancy rates in San Bernardino by Council Ward and
Census Tract, revealing that over 44 percent of loans on homes in San Bernardino are
subprlme and the foreclosure rate in 2009 is nearly 12 percent. San Bernardino has the
second highest muniCipal foreclosure rate in the State. According to the real estate and
foreclosure website RealtyTrac, between January 2008 and April 2009, 3,799 San
Bernardino homes were foreclosed. In the second quarter of 2008, lenders filed
approximately 11,800 notices of default in San Bernardino, indicating an increase of
foreclosure activity. In turn, lenders helve implemented stricter lending standards in an effort
to avoid foreclosures resulting in less finJncing options for low and moderate income
households.
Local housing market conditions have discouraged some of the new homebuilding that the
City could have otherwise expected. This has resulted in re(iuced opportunitfes for low and
moderate income families to becomei first-time homebuyers, and has diSCOuraged many
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 47

2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
middle and upper Income households from considering San Bemardino as a poteA'liaI place
to live.
The City is an active partner In preventing foreclosures and maintaimng foreclosed
properties. The City competitively applied for and received neighborhood stabiliZation funds
made availabl.eunder Title IIi of the Housing and Economic Recovel)' Act .of 2008 and
administered byHUD under the Neighborhood StabiliZation Program (NSP1). The City is
using these funds to purchasef&1Jecl8swreproperlies. rehabilitate multl.fa.miIy and single-
family units, staDili%e neigtrbomoods, and curtail the decline of home values. The City is also
a recipient of NSP2 funds, authorized under the American Recovel)' and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 (ARRA). The ARRA directs HUD to narrow the field of qualified geographies based
on need. As such, the City Identified Target Zones that are eligible for neighborhood
stabilization through NsP2 funds. These Target Zones experience extremely high rates of
foreclosures, code enforcement incidents, and crime. The City is preparing a focused
neighborhood acquisition and rehabilitation strategy through partnerships with nonprofit
housing corporations.
Constraint Removal Efforts
The City of San Bemardii!lo has instiMed actions aimed at redvclng lheimpact of the public
sector role In housing CGsts. The City works to continually remove barriers to affordable
housing by implementing: a Housing Element that outlines actions to reduce housing costs
and facilitate new affordable housing development.
Major efforts have involved the reduction in entitlement procesSing time. In the. early 1990s,
the City undertook -a major revision to its zoning code and land use regulations with the
stated Intent to simplify and streamline the land development process. The outcome was a
new Development Code with a rewrite of the Development Review process. The new
procedure was used asa tool to expedite the review and approval process.
Other City efforts to reduce the barriers to affordable housing include the following:
. Density bonuses: A density bonus provision in the Development Code allows
increased density for multi-family low income units.
. Economic Development Agency: Through the Economic Development Agency, the
City provides cost savings through financing options. Programs include, but are not
limited to homebuyer assistance program and owner rehabifjtation grants.
· Downtown Core Vision: The City encourages and facilitates the development.ofnew
housing, including -affordable housing, in Downtown San Bernardino and along
transit lines through the Downtown Core Vision.
3. Fair Housing
Fair housing is a condition in which individuals of similar income levels in the same housing
market have a like range of choice available to them regardless of race, color, ancestry,
national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, marital status, familial status, source of income,
sexual orientation, or any other arbitrary factor. Fair housi.ng prohibits discrimination in
housing choice because of protected class status.
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 48
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
The Fair Housing Act requires thatHUD programs be administered in manners that will
"affirmatively further fair housing." Jurisdictions must show a commitment to affirmatively
further fair housing ch(lice by:
. Conducting an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
. Taking appropriate actions to overcome the effects of impediments identified through
that analysis
. Maintaining records that reflect the analysis and actions
Fair Housing Impediments
Fair housing impediments are any actions, omissions or decisions which restrict housing
choices or the availability of housing choices on the basis of race, color, ancestry, national
origin, religion, sex, disability, age, marital status, familial status, source of income, sexual
orientation, or any other arbitrary factor.
The City's current Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice (2010-2015)
concludes that some impediments identified in the 2006 AI persisted in 2010. Specifically,
impediments related to program information availability and landlord discrimination
continued to be issues in 2010. In response, the 2010 AI recommends the following actions
be taken to address these impediments:
. Provide advertisements and workshops related to the Homebuyer Assistance
Program in both Spanish and English to .inform residents about this program and
target lower income households through awertising.
. Provide. information about the Mobile Home Grant Repair Program and the
Elderly/Special Needs Minor Repair Grant Program in the City's brochures,
advertisements and website in both English and Spanish.
. Continue outreach efforts through fair housing service provider to educate landlords
and tenants regarding fair hOLlsing rights and responsibilities. Random audits should
be conducted periodically to identify problem properties and implement reconciliation
efforts.
The 2010 AI also identified a number of new impediments, or substantially revised
recommendations. The 2010 AI included the following actions to address fair housing
impediments:
Fair HouslnaServices
. Provide links to fair housing and other housing resources on City website and at
public counters.
. Continue efforts on public education related to tolerance to deter hate crimes and
continue to participate in and sponsor events that celebrate diversity.
Housina Develooment and DemoaraDhics
. Continue to encourage the development of affordable housing and provide housing
assistance for rehabilitation, with targeted outreach to minority households.
. Require that staff members in each department, specifically those who interact with
the public, attend cultural diversity training periodically but at a minimum at time of
employment.
Chapter 3: Community Needs

characteristics of the City of San Bernardino.
Lendino Practices
o Review the lending patterns of all financial institutions that provide financial services
to the City and participate in City loan programs.
o In selecting financial institutions to participate in housing programs, consider the
lender's performance history with regm to home loans in low and moderate income
areas and minority concentration areas, as well as the lender's activity in other
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) activities such as participation in affordable
rental housing projects under programs such as bond financing, tax credit, or the
Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Pr<Jgram.
o Expand outreach efforts to minority househOlds, especially Black households, to
raise awareness of and education about homeownership oPportunities.
Housino Market Conditions
o Increase efforts to promote the housing rehabilitation programs.
Public PolicIes
o Pursue State certification of the Housing Element.
o Revise definition of "family" in zoning code, remove pyramid zoning, remove
development permit approval for second units, allow emergency shelters in an
overlay zone, and be consistent with State law regarding senior, transitional,
supportive housing, and density bonus.

2010 community meeting. The group discussed fair housing concerns, and the IFHMB
representative noted .that in San Bernardino, the most common complaint they hear is
related to fair housing violations against people with disabilities. In the past, the most
common complaint had been with regard to race. It was also noted that the need for
reasonable accommodation and education among property owners and landlords was
important and necessary.

Development Citizens Advisory Committee (CDCAC) and social service providers, public
agencies, and residents that attended the community meeting on January 21, 2010. The
comments received at the outreach meeting and resufts of the community survey are
discussed below.
1. Publtc Outreach Community Development Needs Results
As part of the community outreach effort for the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, a community
meeting was held and a survey was circ:ulated to residents to ascertain priority community
development and housing needs.
Community Meeting
On January 21,2010, the City held a community meeting to discuss priority housing and
community development needs in the City. Staff conducted extensive outreach to reach a
broad cross-section of the community and to encourage attendance. More than 15 residents
and representatives of service provider agencies attended, in addition to the five Community
Development Citizens Advisory Committee (CDCAC) members in attendance. CDCAC is in
charge of making recommendations to the City Council regarding the use of CDBG public
service funds (up to 15 percent of the City's annual CDBG allocation).
Service providers that attended the Consolidated Plan community outreach meeting
included: Time for Change, Central City I.utheran Mission,lnland Fair Housing & Mediation
Board, Project Life Impact, Universal Nursing Systems, A Servant's Heart Outreach, St.
John's SUCcess Center, Apartment Association Greater Inland Empire, and OMNIP.
Housing was one of the primary issues discussed by participants at the San Bemardino
Consolidated Plan community meeting. The housing-related comments have been
summarized previously under Public Outreach Housing Needs Results on page 28. Below
is a summary of the overall themes related to community development addressed during the
community meeting.
Chapter 3: Community Needs

Homelessness
Participants discussed the economic downtum, increasing foreclosures, nSlAg
unemployment, and. resulting increase in homelessness. Participants noted that school
districts were reporting an Increase in homeless children. In addition to shelter with related
counsefing and serVices, emergency food Is needed to assist this special needs group.
Transitional housing was also diseussed as a meaningful component of the effort to reduce
homelessness; transitional housing provides the needed services and support to transition
from homeless to self-SUfficiency and permanent housing; Participants also nOted the need
for shellers for victinls of domestic violence, as Well as emergency housing with extended
care services for persons with HIV/AIDS. These programs should have a direct connection
to the hospitals, so that referrals can be provided and there is no gap in the delivery system.
Park$ arn1It~~nfComlfltlniiy Fad1ti1l$
Participants noted the need for expanded and augmented parks and community centers to
provide needed services. Community centers should provide a mixed-age environment, with
programs for all kinds of residents. Programs should also be high-tech to encourage use
and facilitate youth understanding Of new technologies.
Service providers noted the need for affordable facilities for nonprofit organizations so that
they can run efficiently and remain in San Bernardino.
Public Services
Participants noted that the primary publiC service need was for programs and activities for
youth and children. The City of San Bernardino is a family-oriented community, with more
than 38 percent of the population being children. The need for youth services is extensive,
particularly for the large and minority families that tend to earn lower income or have less
disposable income. These programs should involve lively activities that keep children
engaged. The City has a relatively l1igh rate of crime, youth programs can prevent youth
from becoming involved in crime by getting them off the streets and into places where they
can both have fun and learn the skills they need to help them in life.
Counseling and health care for families in crisis was also noted as a need. Senior services,
including nutrition programs were also noted as a need.
Finally, employment and job training was discussed as a need, especially in light of
continuingly rising unemployment rates. Service providers discussed the benefits of agency
collaboration to offer consolidated services through partnerShips and engagement with
parents, schools, and other agencies.
Community Survey
The Housing and Community Needs Survey assesses community opinions and concerns in
fOllowing community development needs categories (housing needs have previously been
summarized):
. Community Facilities
. Community Services
. Infrastructure Improvements
. Economic Development
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 53

These needs categories were further divided into specific topics, such as "community
centers" (from the Community Facilities category), "streellalley improvemems" (from the
Infrastructure category), and "senior services and activities" (frQ111 the Community Services
category). For each category, the respondent was askec;lto indicate unmet m~eds that
warrant expenditure of public funds by ranking the relative importance of each topic. In
tabulating the survey resulls, an average score was calculated for each need category; the
lower averages (and closer to 1) represent the community's assessment of that category as
more in need (and th~refore higher in the rank order). The three highest-ranked
activities/programs for each needs category are presented in Table 35. More detailed

reports.
Community and Special Needs Services
The City has a number of special needs groups in need of public service assistance,
including seniors, youth, disabled persons, persons at risk of homeless ness, and homeless
persons.
According to San Bemardino County's Department of Human Services 2008 Annual Report,
32.7 percent of the City's population was on some form of public aid (Cash Aid, Food
Stamps, and/or MediCal) during 2007. In addition, according to San Bernardino Unified
School District's Research and Statistical Department, of the 53,430 students enrolled, 83
percent qualify for the District's "Free and Reduced Lunch Programs."
Chapter 3: Community Needs
Page 54
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
San Bernardino has been at the helm in developing a strong collaboration with for.profit and
non-profit organizations to access Federal and State programs to provide necessary public
support services for fammes or indiVidUals in need of assistance.
NeighborhoOd ServIces and Code Compliance
The City's Code Compliance Department enforces the codes that govern the use and
maintenance of private property. The codes were developed to prevent blight and other
nuisances that can diElValue, detrect, and degrade the quality of any htlil;ll,oorhood. Most of
the City's codes pertain to priVate residential property, but some COdes regulate the
condition of commerdial properties as well.
As an older city, many of San Bernardino's neighbOrhoods are experiencing signs of
decline. As a result, the COde Compliance Department ("Code") has divided the City into six
revitalization areas located within low income Census tracts. Two Code Compliance officers
are assigned to each of the following areas:
· Between West 14th Street on the north, West 13th Street on the east and North "K"
Street on the west, and the 1-215 Freeway on the east
. West Baseline Street on the north, West 9th Street on the south, Western Avenue on
the west, and North Ml. Vernon on the east
. 18th Street on the north, 13"' Street on the south, North "D" Street on the west, and
North Sierra Way on the east
. West King Street on the north, West Riallo Avenue on the south, North Ml. Vernon
Street on the west, and North UK" Street on the east
. Between North Sierra Way on the north and West 40th Street on the south
. Along the 1-215 Freeway between Lakewood Drive and Little Mountain Drive
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, and/or lower income residents with limited or
fewer resources for housing maintenance. Code Compliance officers enforce codes and

that support revitalization of the City's older neighborhoods and downtown San Bernardino
as well as new development projects that will create employment for local residents.
The CIP covers six primary categories of capital investments, including general buildings,
streets and street lighting, sewers, storm drains, traffic controls, and parks and recreation.
Projects in the general buildings, streets and street lighting, and parks and recreation
categories may be funded with CDBG funding, among other sources.

Economic Development
A number of agencies help foster economic growth in the City of San Bernardino and the
region.
City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency
The Economic Development Agency's mission is to enhance the quality of lite for the
citizens of SanBerna~dino by creatil'lg jobs, eliminating physical and social blight, supporting
culture and the arts, developing a balanced mix of quality housing, along with attracting and
assisting businesses both independent and through public-private partnerships. The
Economic Development Agency provides a variety of financial assistance programs.
Tax increment financing is the primary source of funding used by the Economic
Development Agency to initiate and oversee redevelopment projects and activities in a
community. This financing method is based on the assumption that as an area is revitalized,
more property tax will be generated. Upon adoption of a Project Area, the total current
assessed value of all the properties within its boundaries is designated as the base year
value. As assessed values increase in the Project Area, tax increment revenue is generated
by capturing the amount of value added since the base year value was established. This
increase in tax revenue, or tax increment, is used by the Agency for reinvestment back into
the Project Area. San Bernardino has 13 Project Areas.
As required by the California Redevelopment Law, 20 percent of tax increment revenue
must be set aside into a separate Low and Moderate Income Hou$ing Fund for the creation
and preservation of affordable housing within the Project Area. These funds may then be
used for activities such as acquiring property, constructing on- and off-site improvements
related to affordable housing development, constructing or rehabilitating affordable housing
units, providing subsidies to ensure affordability, and issuing bonds.
The Economic DevEllopment Agency supports financial and employment assistance
packages, either intemally or through other accredited financial institutions that specialize in
the different needs of the business community. Programs advertised by the Economic
Development Agency are listed below.
· BusinesslncElntive Grant Program is a program offered by the Economic
Development I.geney. The program assists business owners, tenants, and property
owners by enhancing the curb appeal of their business storefront by providing funds
to complete certain exterior improvements.

communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and the expansion
of economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income, The ESG
program is designed to provide emergency and transitional housing, as well as supportive
services for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.
The City of San Bernardino's Economic Development Agency's mission with regard to
housing and community development is to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of San
Bernardino by creating and retaining jobs, eliminating physical and social blight, supporting
culture and the arts, developing a balanced mix of quality housing, along with attracting and
assisting businesses both independently and through public-private partnerships.
The City of San Bernardino and the Economic Development Agency intend to pursue the
national goals through implementation of this Strategic plan. Consistent with this aim, the
City will allocate CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds for the support of community planning,
development and housing programs and activities directed toward achieving the following
priorities:
. Preserve and rehabilitate existing single-family dwellings.
. Improve neighborhood conditions through code enforcement and abatement of
dilapidated structures,

2. Resources Available
The Strategic Plan focuses on. activities to be funded with the three entitlement grants
(CDBG, HOME, and ESG) from HUD. As the largest community in San Bernardino County,
the City is responsible for the social and economic well-being of over 204,000 residents and
thousands of local businE~sses. Housing and community development needs in the City are
extensive and require the effective and efficient use of limited funds. Leveraging of multiple
funding sources is often necessary to achieve the City's housing and community
development objectives. Funding sources available to the City of San Bernardino on an
annual basis are shown in Table 36.

B. Housing Needs
Rising housing costs and the aging housing stock affect many households in the City of San
Bernardino, particularly those of lower and moderate iRcomes. According to the 2000
Census, 83 percent of extremely low income households, 79 percent of low income
households, and 51 percent of moderate income households experienced one or more
housing problems such as housing cost burden, overcrowding, or substandard housing
conditions.
Overall Housing Strategy
Consolidated Plan funding sources are dedicated to housing (and related services).
Approximately three percent of CDBG funds and 90 percent of HOME funds will be used for
housing activities on an anlllllalized basis. Consolidated Plan funds will continue to support
affordable ownership and rental housing development, housing rehabilitation programs,
code enforcement and homebuyer assistance programs.
The housing programs discussed below are intended to accomplish the following statutory
programmatic goals:
. Preserve and Rehabilitate Existing Single-Family Dwellings
. Improve Neighborhood Conditions through Code Enforcement and Abatement of
Dilapidated Structures
. Expand Homeownership Opportunities and Assist Homebuyers with the Purchase of
Affordable Housing
. Provide Rental Assistance and Preserve Existing Affordable Rental Housing
. Expand the Affordable Housing Inventory through New Construction
. Eliminate Identified Impediments to Fair Housing through Education, Enforcement,
and Testing
Priority: Preserve and Rehabilitale Existing Single-Family Dwellings
Program H-1: Mobile Home Grant Repair Program
Although the compact nature of mobile homes generally reduces maintenance costs, the
cost of maintenance as units age and deteriorate can overextend a lower or moderate
income household'S budget. The Mobile Home Grant Repair Program, supported by the
Economic Development Agency and administered by local non-profit organizations, provides
grants up to $5,000 for mobile home repairs.
Funding: HOME funds
Five-Year Objective: Estimated 100 mobile homes to be rehabilitated over the next
five years, for an average of 20 units rehabilitated annually.

Program H-4: Code Com.pllance's Neighborhood Revitalization
As an older city, many of the City of San Bernardino's neighborhoods are experiencing signs
of decline. Many of the City's low income neighborhoods have higher incidents of code
violations. A number of factors inflUence this higher rate, including an older howsing stock, a
lack of return on income investment,and tower income residents with limited resources for
housing maintenance. As a result, the Code ComJ!lliance Department has divided the City
into six revitalization areas that are located within low income census tracts. Two Code
Compliance officers are assigned to each of the following areas:
. Between West 14th Street on the north, West 13th Street on the east and North "K"
Street on the west, and the 1-215 Freeway on the east.
. West Baseline Street on the north, West !?th Street on the south, Western Avenue on

Homelessness is a ~rsistent prQblem that impacts ciijes and communities, including San
Bernardino County. There is a grQwing senSe ofawanmess that there. are sub$tantiaf public
and private "hidden' cQstsa$sociated with homelessness. Home(ess persons become
frequent and lengthy user. Ofh.Qspital emergency services, emergency sheltel'S, emergency
assistance centers, and Correctional facilities because of a lack of a permanent housing
environment, which would help bette,. care for daily needs. Some of the "hidden' and
"persistent" costs of homelessness to local jurisdictions are the result of ongoing
interventions by:
.
Emergency health care providers
Paramedics
law enforcement
Emelllencyp$YChiatticrespondElrs
Tempi)rarymotel vlinJcher providers
Emergency shelter providers (particularly winter shelter providers) with little or no
case management
.
.
.
.
In addition, there are harder to calcuJatequality-of-/ife costs associated with the impact of
homeless persons on local businesses and business districts, tourism, court systems, and
public facilities such as libraries and parks. San Sernardino County has a growing homeless
population. According to the San Bemardino COllnty 2007 Homeless Censlls and Survey,
approximately 1,915 homeles. persons were found in the City. This is a slight increase from
1,850 homeless persons that were estimated to be in the City in 2003.
Three funding sources are used to provide community services for low and moderate
income persons and persons with special needs in the City. These inclllde: ESG fllnds,
HPRP funds and publiC service dollars of CDBG funds (Ilp to 15 percent of the annllal
allocation).
The City places a high priority on actions to assist homeless and special needs persons with
hOllsing and supPQrtive services. The City coordinates .its procllrement of HPRP services
with the Office of Homeless Services (O/-lS) , the designated administrative allthority over
the County's Continullm of Care (CoC) System, to avoid duplication and to enSUre that only
the highest priority needs are met. The City will target its HPRP fllnds toward hOllseholds
needing services beyond the scope 01' the City's available HOME and ESG funds.
Fllrthermore, the City will use its HPRP funds to transition the emphasis on homeless
shelters to permanent housing, as the primary solution to homefessness.
Strategies for Eliminating Homelessnel,s

ending homelessness through the Regional Continuum of Care Strategy. The Continuum of
Care Strategy involves four key components:
. Homeless Prevention: Provision of preventative services will decrease the number of
households and individuals who will become homeless and require emergency
shelters and assistance. The City seeks to prevent homelessness by funding
emergency assistance for families and househOlds at-risk of being homeless.
Educating residents about available services is a key component in reducing
homelessness.
. Homeless Outreach and Needs Assessment The homeless reqUire a broad
spectrum of services from transportation assistance to life skills to childcare to
prescriptions. The City works with homeless providers to identify gaps in assistance
and fund these identified gaps on an annual basis.
. Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing: The City provides funds to service
providers offering emergency shelter, transitional housing, motel vouchers, food, and
a variety of other services which address basic subsistence needs. Based on
discussions with homeless advocates and providers, permanent housing and support
services are priorities for addressing the immediate needs of the homeless
population.
. Homeless Transition Strategy. Providing emergency services without complementary
transitional and permanent hOlJsing services creates a situation where the homeless
remain in San Bemardino for services but are trapped in an emergency housing
situation or lack shelter due to inadequate resources for transitional and permanent
housing. The City will emphasize services providing transilional and permanent
housing assistance through case management, life skills, rental support and job
assistance for homeless families and individuals transitioning to permanent housing.
In addition to the Continuum of Care strategy, the San Bernardino County Office of
Homeless Services (OHS) initiated a planning process in March 2008 to develop a strategy
to end homelessness in San Bernardino County. Utilizing the committee structure of the San
Bernardino County Homeless Partnership 10-Year F'lanning Committee, OHS convened a
number of meetings staffed by members of the OHS team. The intent was to achieve
consensus on the Planning Strategy for ending homelessness.
To address the problem of homelessness and ideally end it, the San Bernardino County
Homeless Partnership 10-Year Planning committee developed 2'5 specific action
recommendations to be undertaken throughout San Bernardino County:
1. Implement COUntywide homeless prevention strategies to prevent individuals or
families from becoming homeless.
2. Use funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 "Homeless
Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program" (HPRP) for supplemental resources
including rental assistance and utility assistance.
3. Implement a community outreach and education campaign that raises awareness
about households at risk of becoming homeless and provides information about

resources av.ajlab~ thrOugh homeless prevention programs. This effort should
leverage the 2-1-1 System for easy access where appropriate.
4. Formalize protocols and improve the coordination of discharge planning.
5. Establish a Central Contact Center that would respond to community calls and
concems for traditional street outreach and engagement and/or assertive community
treatment.
6. Expand Street Outreach and Engagement Services to include Multidisciplinary
Practitioners and Services.
7. Expand Street Outreach and Engagement Services to include Volunteers from
Various Community Groups.
8. Establish Regional "One-Stop" Centers.
9. Use a Comprehensive Tool that Determines Potential Eligibility for Mainstream
Resources.
10. Appropriate case management services should be available to all hQmeless persons
whether they are on the street, accessing one-stop centers, in emergency shelters or
transitional housing, or receiving permanent supportive services.
11. Develop and execute a "rapid exit" strategy that focuseS on early identification and
resolution of the barriers to housing through case management services in order to
facilitate the return of a homeless person to permanent housing as quickly as
possible.
12. Implement a Rapid Re-Housing Approach for Households with Dependent Children.
13. Increase the Number of Emergency and Transitional Units.
14. Implement a Housing First Approach.
15. Obtain More Shelter + Care Certific:ates.
16. Increase the Number of Permanent Housing Units with an Emphasis on the
Development of Safe Havens.
17. Encourage all local jurisdictions to adopt an inclusionary housing policy that requires
a percentage of new housing to be affordable to extremely-low and very low income
residents.
18. Assess the Feasibility of a Housing Trust Fund for County and Local Levels of
Government.
19. Expand the capacity of Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) so that
agencies may make better use of data, decrease time and effort at intake, and
enhance the planning and development functions of the Continuum of Care.

D. Public Improvements and Community Facilities
The City of San Bernardino is one of the oldest communities in California. Much of San
Bernardino was developed 30 to 40 years ago and the City is laden with an aging
infrastructure system, obsolete buildings, inadequate community facilities and deteriorating
neighborhood conditions. These conditions affect not only residents, but also local
businesses.
ApprOXimately 12 percent of COBG funding will be used for public improvements and
community facilities on an annualized basis. COBG funding may only be used for projects
that benefit low moderate income neighborhoods, in other words, neighborhoods where
more than half (51 percent) of residents have incomes less than 80 percent of the Median
Family Income (MFI) for the San .Bernardino County area. The City plans to focus most of its
community facility and public improvements projects in these "area benefit" communities.
Projects in "non-area benefit" communities will not be excluded; however, these projects
must demonstrate eligibility based on the service area of the project.
The City's five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) (FY 2009 - FY 2014) identifies the
City's proposed capital improvement projects, their estimated costs, and sources of funding
needed to provide the quality service and public improvements expected by the residents
and businesses of the City of San Bernardino. The CIP outlines the City's plan for targeted
publiC investments that support the revitalization of the City's older neighborhoods and
downtown San Bernardino, as well as new development projects that will create
employment for local residents.

To implement said priorities, the City, in collaboration with other public agencies, such as
the San Bernardino Employment and Training Agency (SSET 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. SBETA partners with industry to prodUce a competitive work force. The SBETA
Agency is under the direction of the Mayor and the Workforce Investment Board, composed
of business leaders and educators. SBETA 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). The City's EDA will continue to support job creation, job retention, training,
education, dowl'ltown revitalization, and infrastructure improvement efforts. The EDA's
mission is to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of San Bernardil'lO by attracting and
retaining businesses al'ld jobs, eliminating physical and social blight, and developing a
balanced mix of quality housing.

F. Planning and Administration
During the up!Xlllling five-year Consolidated Plan period, the City will continue to. administer
the CDBG, HOME apd ESG programs in compfiance with program regulations and
requirements. Up to 20 percent of COBG funds can be used by the City to support the
general administration of the CbBG prog.ram.
G.lead Based Paint Reduction Strategy
The City'S Lead Based Paint Hazard Reductiol1 Strategy can besumrnari$t'j as fllllows: (1)
Coordinating pubfic aM private efforts to reduce filad-based paint ha%arc/$ and protect
young children; (2) Int~gratlng lead hazard evaluatiOn and reduction actiVities into existiTlg
housing programs; (3) PUblic awareness through edvcational materials and programs; and
(4) Education and advocacy and (5) lead base eradication to the eJrtent finances are
available.
The City currently integrates lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities into existing
housing inspection and rehabilitation programs. The Economic Development Agency (EDA)
provides referrals to and works cooperatively with the County's Lead-Based Paint Removal
Program to coordinate efforts to reduce lead-based paint hazards through testing. The
County also receives. funds from the State [)apartment of community Services for the
development of education and to raise awareness of lead-based paint. Additionally,
educational materials are provided to residents through the San Bernardino Redevelopment
Agency's Rehabilitation Program, which informs residents of lead hazards, as well as how to
get tested, report, and remove the hazard. The Agency is also relllediatiTlg and stabilizing
80 percent of rehabilitated properties by the removal or encapsulation of lead-based paint.
H. Overcoming Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City recently undertook a major effort to eliminate constraints, with respect to land use
regulations, by developiTlg and adopting a new Zoning Code that unified and simplified the
City's development regulations and processes. That effort was followed by a reorganization
of the City to unify the various developmenHelated departments into a single Development
Services Department and a one-stop permit counter.
Moreover, the City is in the process of making the following additional amendments to the
Municipal Code in order to further reduce barriers to affordable housing:
Corridor Improvement Program
The City will facilitate investment and intensification along its underutilized corridors by
codifYing the development and lot consolidation incentives proposed in the General Plan
Land Use Element Corridor Improvement Program. The four Corridor Strategic Areas,
Mount Vernon, E Street, Baseline, and Highland, are generally characterized by
underperlorming strip commercial, vacant or underutilized parcels, deteriorating structures,
and inconsistent facades and signage. The Corridor Improvement Program is an optional
package of policies, regulations, and incentives intended to stimulate investment and
development in the Corridor Strategic Areas. While the underlying land use designations still
apply, the property owner may request, and the City may choose to apply, aspects of the
Chapter 4: Strategic Plan
Page 87
City ef San Bernardino,
2010-2015 Censelidated Plan
Cerrider Imprevement Program necessary to, achielle the desired results. Key incentives
include: allewing increased densities for heusing and mixed-use projects within 500 feet ef a
transit step, increasing density and FARs fer mixed-use prejects that replace strip
commercial en arterials, 'and increased density for projects t/'!at combine parcels (let
censelidatien). FUfthermore, Code Enfarcement activities in this area will encourage
vielators to, demolish unsafe buildings through existing demolition pregrams and educate
preperty ewners of new eppertunities available through the Corrider Improvement Program.
General Lot Consolldatio.n Incentive
The C;ity will am.end the D"velepment Code to incentivize lot cenllelidatien forprejects that
premise to, committo management plans and previde on-site management. Small, individual
lots effer limited development petential, anc;! generally cannet suppert en-site preperty
management. OevelQPm~t oppertunities ceuld be increased threugh a small-let
censelidatien program that offers a 15 percent density benus to prejects with a residential
cempenent that are committing to a maintenance plan and having on-site management. This
enceurages a more efficient use of the land while ensuring adequate long-term maintenance
and oversight of a property.
Density Bonus Provisions
The City will facilitate higher density and affordable heusing development by amending the
develepment code to reflect the latest amendments to, state density bonus law. Density
bonus previsiens reward developers previding afferdable housing to seniors or families with
an increase in density and reduced building requirements, such as reduced parking,
reduced setbacks, and other factors that decrease the cost of housing production. Density
benus projects can be an important source of housing fer lower and moderate income
households.
Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance
The City will reduce govemmental constraints to housing for disabled persons by adopting a
Reasonable Accommodatien Ordinance. The City ef San Bernardino, dees net currently
have a fermal process for requesting exemptions from gevernment regulations fer the
purpese of creating housing accessible to disabled persons. A Reasonable Accemmodation
Ordinance will enact a process for disabled individuals (or those acting on their behalf) to
make requests fer reasonable accommodation for relief from burdenseme land use, zoning,
or building laws, rules, policies, practices, and/or procedures.
Emergency Shelters
The City plans to adopt a permanent emergency shelter ordinance, define emergency
shelters in the definitions section ef the Development Code, and create development and
management standards in accordance with Senate Bill 2.
Transitional and Supportive Housing
The City will amend the Development Code to adequately define transitional and permanent
supportive housing and permit these uses based an unit type, in accerdance with Senate Bill
2.
Chapter 4: Strategic Plan
Page 88
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
StreamllnedProcessing
The City is committed to continuing the streamlining of development activities and
regulations and wi<< continue to analyze potential programs that seek to eliminate .land use
constraints, particularly as related to the provision of new housing and rehabilitation of
existing housiflg. The City is.considering amendments to the Municipal Cede that will allow
increased administrative authority for staff or Zoning Administrator. to grant discretionary
approvals for housing projects, administrative relief for lower cost housing and density
bonus programs, and deviations trem the Development Code for lower cost and senior
housing projects. In addition, the City will continue to evaluate fees to identify those that may
be waived and/or decreased in order to encourage lower cost and senior citizen housing.
I. Institutional Structure
The Economic Development Agency (EDA) of the City of san Bemardino is the lead agency
for the development and implementation of all of the City's housing and community
development programs. The Agency is responsible for the preparation and implementation
of the five-year Consolidated Plan, annual Action Plans, and any amendments to either
Plan. In addition, the Agency is responsible for preparing the Consolidated Annual
Performance Evaluation Reports (CAPERs), which reports the progress achieved during a
given fiscal year.
Implementation of the Consolidated Plan requires the efficient leveraging of multiple funding
sources _ federal, state,local, and private resources. These funds create housing and
economic opportunities for low and moderate income households, particularly those with
special needs.
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. The City and EDA will also continue to coordinate the execution
of a regional homeless assistance plan with a countywide Homeless Coalition and the
Community Action Partners of San Bernardino County. These groups include:
. Non-profit service providers
. City of San Bernardino F'olice Department
. County Board of Supervisors
. County Department of Public Social Services
. County Department of Mental Health
. County Department of Public Health
. Realtors
. AFL-CIO
. Veterans
. Building Industry Association
. Habitat for Humanity
. Local colleges
. Job training groups
The participation of the City and EDA in this cooperative effort enables and facilitates the
delivery of homeless services and resources through effective networking.. In addition, any
Chapter 4: Strategic Plan
Page 89
City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
development of homeless services outside the city limits serves to lessen the City's
homeless problems.
Gaps in Service Delivery System
The most significant gap in the service delivery system is the lack of sufficient funding to
address the City's extensive needs. To bridge this gap, the City actively PursuesadditionaJ
funding opportunities for housing and community development. The City also encourages
public/private partnerships to maximize the effective use of resources.
J. Coordination
Many projects involve the coordinated efforts of publiC, private and quasi-public agencies
and organizations. For example, the Agency coordinates the development and execution of
a regional homeless assistance plan with a countywide Homeless Coalition and a Local
Coordinating Group.
The Economic Developmeflt Agency Will continue to meet with public and other housing and
supportive service providers to use all available resources to the maximum levels of
effectiveness. Meetings With these agencies will occur regularly throughout the fiscal year
to endorse applications for funding and to discuss cooperative ventures. The City and EDA
will also continue dialogue and project coordination with the various public/private agencies
involved in implementing the City's housing goals in order to receive input on regulations,
codes, and ordinances that could potentially have adverse effects on the development of
affordable housing.
K. Monitoring
The City of San Bernardino follows strict internal monitoring procedures to ensure funds are
used appropriately and effectively. Subrecipientsare monitored thro.ugh quarterly reports
and onsite visits by the grants coordinator. Affordable housing development projects are
monitored to ensure compliance with housing quality standards with City staff performing
site visits, inspections, and auditing tenant files. In addition, property management is
required to submit reports documenting compliance with income restrictions.
The City will continue to undertake annual reviews of all agencies it provides financial
assistance to in conformance with 24 CFH 91.230. Findings will be provided as part of the
CAPER Report, due to HUD annually. Thl~ report will describe the current status of planned
activities, as described in the Plan, as well as other information that describes the progress
and successes of activities. The Five-Year Consolidated Plan priorities Will be evaluated
through a comparison of the goals set out for the fiscal year and the prOductivity
characteristics and completion data for each program or activity implemented for the
accomplishment of those goals.
Performance Measures
The City has been continually working to develop a system that measures productivity and
program impact.
Chapter 4: Strategic Plan
Page 90
City of San Bemardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
Productivity
The Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) is used to track expenditures
and accomplishments of CDBG and HOME funds. This information is subsequently used by
staff to prepare the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) and to
evaluate future funding applications.
Program Impact
An appropriate performance measurement system would also include a component that
measures program impact. Program impact reflects the extent to which activities yield the
desired results in the community or in the lives of persons assisted.
Output-Based Performance
Outputs are direct products of a program's activities. They are typically measured in terms
of the volume of work accomplished, such as number of low income households served,
number of items processed, or number of units constructed or rehabilitated. The processes
described above provide the department with the necessary level of information to satisfy
the "outputs" component.
Outcome-Based Performance
Outcomes are benefits that result from a program or activity. Outcomes typically relate to a
change in conditions, skills, knowledge, status, etc. Outcomes could include improved
quality or quantity of local affordable housing stock, improved or revitalized neighborhoods
or improved quality of life for program participants.
The City intends to require each subrecipient of federal funds to describe beyond
quantitative accomplishments how their programs and/or activities provide a more
comprehensive, far reaching level of improvement to each individual benefiting from the use
of federal funds.

distributed to residents and service providers. Surveys were made avaHable at community
centers and public counters, located online, and distributed at the January 21, 2010
community meeting.
Overall, 142 residents and service providers responded to the Housing and Community
Development Needs Survey. These surveys were analyzed and informed development of
the needs and objectives in the Cons,olidated Plan.

2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
Community Survey
As part of the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, the City of San Bernardino conducted a
Housing and Community Needs Survey to access community opinions and concerns in
seven needs categories:
. Community Facilities
. Community Services
. Infrastructure Improvements
. Neighborhood Services
. Special Needs Services
. Economic Development
. Housing
These needs categories were further divided into specific topics, such as "community
centers" (from the Community Faci'lities category), "street/alley improvements" (from the
Infrastructure category), and "senior services and activities" (from the Community Services
category). For each category, the respondent was asked to indicate unmet needs that
warrant expenditure of public funds by ranking each topic with a "priority need" level from
Lowest to Highest need. In tabulatin'9 the survey results, "1" is used to denote the highest
need and "4" to denote the lowest need. An average score was calculated for each need
category; the lower averages (and closer to 1) represent the community's assessment of
that category as more in need. A total of 143 surveys were returned. Table A-1 indicates the
rank that each unmet need received.

The Community Survey also allowed respondents to provide written comments regarding
community needs. Those comments are included below.
. Teen Pregnancy
. Having Code issue administrativE! citations some times does not get the property
cleaned up. There needs to be a way that the City will go in and clean the property
then charge the owner. Issuing a citation doesn't mean that the property will be
brought up to code. The neighborhood is still suffering because of one property even
though hundred and sometimes thousands of dollars in citation fees have been
issued. The goal needs to improve the appearance of the neighborhood.
· Fire protection in the north end is important!
· Unranked items on my responses are deemed not to be priorities that the city should
spend taxpayer money on. While noble and valuable, these areas are better served
with private sector investment and assistan~.
. Carousel Mall needs to be rehabilitated to once again become the center of the down
town area, making money for the city, not as a government building I
. Community Building- Building the sense of belonging and engagement so essential
to this city.

City of San Semardino

. We should concentrate on using our giflsand capacities rather than addressing our
needs when looking to spend federal dollars.
. San Bernardino schools are suffering from lack of funding while our school district
has an absurd number of superintendents who receive large salaries for doing
essentially nothing. We are not seeing any benefits from having these people being
in charge of our schools.
· I feel it is important City acts upon prOfeSSional suggestions to begin downtown's
transformation into one representative of Sports University's online rendering of what
SB Downtown is supposed to look like. Tear out that asphalt already, please :_)
ALSO: No mention in the sunreyof either the new transportation hub at 2nd & Mill, or
the high speed bus service. 80th very eagerly awaited :-) ALSO: Arrowhead Springs
Resort - when we may stllrt suggesting it as a venue for events ALSO: The
importance of prioritizing the whQle fOod$ weekly distributions (with USDA Food
Stamp Acceptance Approval). _ & I are working toward at ALL city community
centers/senior centers, etc. We MUST begin to elevate ourselves to optimum levels.
Kids on Pepsi, Pizza & Cheetos will NEVER thrive. Please, let's see 2010 become
Year One for the w"olesome fresh produce distribution network, available to ALL
citywide :-) xoxox -_
. We need to revive downtowrl San 8emardino in order to restore pride in our city's
residents.
. Gay, Lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth are our most at risk of at-risk youth.
Rainbow Pride Youth Alliance is the only local nonprofit attempting to do. something
for these kids, with little community help. The city needs to consider these kids in
developing and funding youth support programs,
. Make available to thOse who are disabled: grants for "reasonable' home
improvements (i.e.: to repair roofs, or other repairs that would strengthen the integrity
of the homes structure, or to make the home more 'accessible' for the disabled I I.e.:
non cosmetic repairs) AND PLEASE make the knowledge of HOW TO ACCESS
these grants available to the public!!!
. Community based, as opposied to school based, youth programs and homework
centers
. Propaganda, a program to give our city a good name and to erase the negative
feeling most have towards SB. This would enhance almost .every program discussed
in this survey. We need to make S8. a desirable place to do business and to live. All
property values would rise witl1 a good propaganda program.
. Appreciate the opportunity to give some input in the decision making process.
. A: I would like to see a City tax on all monies sent out of this country. B: We should
wage a city-wide war on ALL gang activity, including tagging. C: I would like to see
other types of music at the Orange Show, instead of Rap and Rave. This venue used
to showcase the best and brightest.
. There are way too many people going hungry in our city right now. Many of which
are seniors and children. We, need to support more charitable food distribution of
offset the large amount of job losses etc. to good families. Nobody in America should
be going hungry.
. Communication with the Public (Available also in other languages)
· I think there is a need to brin~1 the residents together to build a feeling of community
and pride in our city. More community events and more publicity for those events
. We need to make all businesses that sale illegal drug related items i.e.: pipes, rolling
papers etc. to be policed. The Smoke Shops have clients who are themselves or

know people who are on drugs or sale drugs. They sell bongs and crack pipes and I
don't like them in my neighborhood.
~ First of all, PLEASE learn how to spell the name of our city-it's SAN BERNARDINO-
not SAN BERNADINO. This glaring error just makes the whole thing look bogus.
o Listing from 1-10 isn't a true indication as so many are equally important and cannot
properly be ranked.
o I would like to see programs which encourage citizens to volunteer in needed areas
and not just put aU the responsibility on city government.
o Ages 55 and up and disabled people need .places to live that crime is low and they
can be safe and can affor<l the rent. These people cannot work any longer while
young people stay on Section 8 for years. It is those that can no longer be of use that
are ignored.
o JOBS JOBS JOBS DUH. STOP SPENDING MONEY ON PEDOPHILE DAY CARE
for crack babies and get the people who live here jobs. Stop hiring people who live in
other cities.
o All homes that are boarded up something needs to be done to them they just create
problems for the community, make them affordable to 1st time buyers and remodel
them to look presentable. 80% of the time homeowners take more pride in the
community
o Political honesty, integrity and sincerity. A demonstrated interest in the public's
needs.
o The questions in this survey seem to perpetuate the whole blight,graffiti, homeless
situation that we are already experiencing in SB. I would like to see SB retumed to its
old self. It has gotten so bad in the last few years and homeless shelters, Section 8
housing and housing for convicted felons are only increasing these issues. We need
to start reversing the issues that SB faces and this includes making SB a city where
people want to purchase property not just a place that property values are so low
that anyone can afford housing.
o What about increasing pOlice services? We need to increase street officers.
o Water conservation measures including assistance to owners to make water-wise
improvements to landscape.
o The need in this community is providing the youth in this community something to do
rather than join gangs. Our area needs a boys and girls club, we need basketballs
courts, tennis courts, activities for our youth to participate in. Movies or concerts in
the park. Wildwood park is such a beautiful park but there is nothing going on there
to bring families there to enjoy it. Business suffers because kids have nothing to do
but shop lift. Kids need to be a good part of the community but here there is nothing
to so them how.
o No more low housing. Example: Waterman Gardens, it just brings more crime into
San Bernardino
o Although my zip code is 92346, I live in an area that is zoned into the City of San
Bernardino. I definitely feel that the City needs to stop using funds to develop more
low income housing and focus on I~sing those funds to develop housing for seniors.
o If you have monies that you want to know how to spend, maybe you have over taxed
the citizenry.
o The city should focus on garnering volunteerism and community pride - to change
the culture and climate of San Bemardino - so civic pride must be restored.
o Quit approving strip malls as there is already an over abundance of them and lots of
vacancies. Be new business friendly instead of running new businesses out of town

weuld this beautify the city but it weuld make the city mere energy efficient.
. I feel that the ;hemelessness in the city ef San Bernardino should be addressed due
te the fact that now cemplete families are becoming homeless due to the econemy.
This weuld help a let of families if we were able te access lew income housing for
peeple whe weuld not nermally qualify fer lew income hOusing but due te the
econemy are now part ef a ene income family,such as myself. We alse need
afferdable health care. Thank. you fer understanding the needs of the citizens ef San
Bernardine.
. If you want te make San Bernardine a great city again,eliminate/greatly lewer
cerporate taxes within the city limits and create a safe envirenment that businesses
will want te ceme te and stay in San Bernardine. Then lewer the sales tax te entice
censumer revenue so people will come te San Bernardino te shcpand spend
melley. Then lower the preperty taxes. This will start te revitalize the city making
mere peeple want to buy hemes here. Then c",rrent hemeewnerswill with their ewn
meney fix up their own heuses, making the neighborheods mere attractive. This will
make ether peeple want te live here and buy hcuses, and shep and spend and werk.
Eventually this city will be as prospereus as it ence was. Please de net spend it en
pregrams that threw geed meney away and leave the residents with unsafe
cemmunities, pet hele ridden streets, empty buildings, fereclosed hemes, unusable
dirty unsafe parks, and an undesirable place te .live and werk. Let the private secter

That man will be used by Ged in a great way and lead this city back te a great place

. City of San Bernardino
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan
End a wonderful image update. Last but certainly not least, the abundance of ugly,
old, crime-ridden, section 8 apartment complexes needs to be drastically reduced!
. The city requires full time, full paid elected officials to represent and work on behalf
of the residents. Staff is too focused on priorities set by a few insid.e City hall rather
than the people. Full time Councilman will mean fulllirne focus .and results.
. I really would like to see the City to complete a parks and recr~ati.on plan to
implement parks and community services to underserveGl areas of the City. I live in
the northern part of the City and there are no community centers in this area.
. There needs to be more opportunities for recreation (especially an aquatic center,
great than theClOl for physical rehabilitation and physical fitness
· I think there is a need to have more police on regular patrols. There is never any
pOlice presence in my neighborhood. Patrolling helps eliminate graffiti and
vandalism.
· I believe that the highest priority should be establishing jobs and businesses in S.B.
to create tax dollars for the public services help. Establish housing that is affordable,
and help stabilize the loss of foreclosure. Some meetings to get ideas in how to
solve the building and housing vacancy for efficiency. Maybe allowing assistance
with new homeowners that reduce the empty house that usually has weeds growing
and vandalized. Let's not plant trees and repair sidewalks until the major changes
are made. Parents should be responsible for there children's activities but volunteer
big brother programs and ideas prevent the city using funds for more important
projects. Maybe creating support groups with people with hiv/aids and other medical
needs could also save the city project money. We need to have a nice lunch meeting
for the publiC and allow residents to express there vision's of what the real needs are
which ones will take care of themselves, and where volunteers could solve problems
that burden the city. I would love to eat a good lunch, pay 15.00 with other residents
and share my ideas. I would like to rationalize my ideas of priorities and explain the
reasoning.
. Job development
. Entertainment for our community and youth
. More Police to enforce the laws, panhandling, vagrancy, and squatters. More of the
unused and abandon buildings torn down. Beautification of Highland Ave. and
improvement of the look of the business. We need stricter civic laws that govern
business and residential areas. We have enough low income housing; that is all we
have! We need to attract industry which attracts and retains high paying
professionals. What happened to using Norton Air Force Base as a shipping hub?
. Many residents "desperate for the American Dream" living in the City of San
Bernardino lost their homes prior to all the "loan mod" activities and based on the
restructuring of loans can afford to pay mortgages as they are now, but because of
foreclosures can not get a home now. Given an opportunity a special program would
assist these persons in stable jobS to once again obtain dream home with financial
education ciasses and assistance from the city. I work in the social services field
and have seen many families couch surfing with their families because they do not
want to go the motel and would never go to the Salvation Army with their children.
Some are too ashamed and live in outer motels using a great de.al of their pay
checks. These families would be a great asset to the community. The city should
buy some of the houses, rehab them, turn them over to a non-profit like the IECM
churches, include renters insurance or whatever it takes to cover City's liability,
include financial education, Civic government meetings; City Council, School Board
meetings, Credit Union Meetings etc. a year long program at minimum creating

points for community involvement with option-te-buy. 50 vested families strategically
placed within the City of San Semarelino would make a difference Coldwell Bankers
should jump on it -I see more blue and white signs falling down around fhecity than
still standing - I bet the houses are taking a beating inside too or did they receive
enough of our bailout money to weather the storm? If they are wailing 3 more years
in hopes that they can come strong there may not be enough standing to build on.
. A downtum in the market is a great lime to develop, bolster and extend existing
redevelopment plan areas. Also we should be developing strong planning elements
that will better posit/on our city for larger CDBG and transportation ailocations in the
future. With better funding, we can, leverage our assets, resources, and political
capitol to establish strong community partners. This will allow us to spread the
maintenance obligations and to synergize program development. We need.a strong
downtown draw. By pushing facade,programs, demolish grants (if we have them),
and aggressively assembling land we can lay the ground for large marquee
redevelopment projects. Tr'ansportlltion corridors are poor and cosmetically
unappealing. Many funding sources' can be used to address this is;sue. Last and
most important, the city has completely failed in branding itself. Much work needs to
be done here.
. I have found it very disheartening that with the economic down tum Our city has
taken money away from Our schools and removed teachers which crowed the class
rooms even more so. I am stammered how when push comes to shove financially,
money is easily obtained by cutting Spending from other departments. Has anyone
thought to cut the mayors money or the money he gets to spend with in his own
department. The last place money should be taken from is from our schools. This is
of the highest priority to me.
. We desperately NEED to give 40th Street a face lift. Sadly, San Bernardino has
such potential due to its central location and it is quickly spiraling down.
. Dilapidated/abandoned houses. Could these be rented by subsidies if only
temporarily to avoid neighborhood blight.

Community Development Citizens Advisory Committee Meeting
The City of San Bernardino provided a draft of the AI to its Community Development
Citizens Advisory Committee Meeting for their review and solicited comments, questions
and feedback from the Committee.
Community Development.Cilizens Advisory Committee Meeting
Date: March 25, 2010
Time: 6:00 PM
Location.: Economic Develo ment A enc ,201 North E Street, EDA Board Room
The meeting began with a presentation of the City of San Bernardino Five Year
Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice to the five
Committee members in attendance. This was followed by a question and answer session
between the Committee, City Staff and Veronica Tam and ASilociates. The following two
comments were received:
. Foreclosure on SectionB property owners is becoming a problem. Committee
member is aware ,of Section B Voucher recipients who are being evicted with little
notice because the property owner is in foreclosure and has not alerted the Voucher
recipient.
. Would like to see a senior recreation and service center built in the City. There is no
space for seniors to have activities and services and San Bernardino is an aging
community in need of senior services.

City of San Bernardino
FY 2010-2011 Action Plan
Executive Summary
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 the 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 also 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.
In 1974 the Housing and Community Development Act was passed by the United States
Congress and signed into law, which created the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Program. In 1992 the U. S. Congress created the HOME Investment Partnership
Act Program (HOME) to expand affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate
income people. The City of San Bernardino is a Participating Jurisdiction and receives an
annual formula allocation of funds under the CDBG program. These funds benefit low and
moderate income neighborhoods and persons (with incomes up to 80 percent of the Median
Family Income or MFI)' and aid in the prevention and elimination of slum and blighted
conditions. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).
The City's objective through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is
to provide a viable urban community by providing decent housing, a suitable living
environment, and economic opportunities principally for persons of low and moderate
income. The City has detailed its approach for developing goals and objectives that will have
a long-term stabilizing impact on City neighborhoods in its Five-Year Consolidated Plan,
which was adopted in 2010 according to HUD requirements.
Each year, the City prepares an action plan based on the entitlement grants it receives from
HUD. For the 2010-2011 Program Year, the City anticipates receiving federal entitlement
funds in the amount of $5,468,418 under the following programs:
. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program: $3,603,119
. HOME Partnership Investment Act (HOME) Program: $1,709,310
. Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG): $155,989
These figures are based on the allocations received by the City for FY 2009-2010.
Congressional appropriations for the CDBG and HOME programs have not yet been
adopted for FY 2010-2011. Therefore, it is unknown at the writing of this report the exact
amounts of CDBG and HOME funds the City will receive for the upcoming year. Under
HUD's direction, the City is advised to use the same levels of funding frem prior year.
Should the FY 2010-2011 allocations deviate from prior year, the City will proportionally
adjust the funding for the proposed projects.
The income limits used by the CDBG program are different from State of California income limits for programs
funded with State funds or authorized by State legislation (such as the California Redevelopment Act). State
housing programs usually extend assistance to households with incomes up to 120 percent AMI.
Executive Summary

City of San Bernardino
FY 2010-2011 Action Plan
This Action Plan provides an explanation of the City's planned use of funds and serves as
the City's annual funding application to HUD. The Plan includes the following components:
. Citywide Priorities
. Resources Available
. Geographic Distribution
. Service Delivery and Management
. Priority Investment Plan
. Planning and Administration
. Lead Based Paint Reduction Strategy
. Overcoming Barriers to Affordable Housing
. Institutional Structure
. Coordination
. Monitoring
. Specific Program Requirements
This is the first Action Plan for the 2010-2015 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. A detailed
discussion of the City's goals is also included.
The City of San Bernardino encourages residents to become involved in the planning and
implementation activities of the Annual Action Plan. The City involves its citizens in
determining needs, issues and the designing of programs and activities to address those
needs and issues. The City also 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.
As required by HUD, the City follows a Citizen Participation Plan in the planning and
evaluation of programs contained in this Action Plan. Involving residents and stakeholders is
necessary to accurately reflect the housing and community development needs of the City's
residents. The City followed the Citizen Participation Plan outreach, noticing, and hearing
requirements. This Action Plan has been developed through a collaborative process that
included the participation of residents, service providers, and City staff.
As part of the Action Plan development, the Community Development Citizen Advisory
Committee (CDCAC) held a public hearing on January 21, 2010 to consider projects and
activities for use of federal funds. The public hearing was held at the Economic
Development Agency Board Room. In total, more than 15 residents and representatives of
service provider agencies attended this meeting, in addition to the five Community
Development Citizens Advisory Committee members. On March 25, 2010, the CDCAC held
a public hearing to review the Draft FY 2010/11 Annual Action Plan for CDBG, HOME, and
ESG funds. On May 3,2010, the City conducted a public hearing to receive oral and written
comments on the draft 2010-2011 Annual Plan and adopt the Action Plan.
The Draft Action Plan will be available for public review for a 30-day period beginning March
30,2010 and ending April 30, 2010. The Draft Plan will be available at the San Bernardino
City Hall pUblic counter and the fOllowing public libraries: Norman F. Feldheym Central
Library, Dorothy Inghram Branch Library, Howard M. Rowe Branch Library, and Paul

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 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan. The circumstances under
which the City will not support such applications are:
. There is no demonstrated ability by the applicant to carry out the activity/project in a
timely manner.

2. Leveraging Private and Non-Federal Funds
Local funds will be leveraged to the greatest extent possible by using it as "seed money" or
local match for programs funded by state or federal government andlor private enterprise.
Financial assistance may be provided as grants or loans, and may include equity
participation.
3. Matching Fund Requirements
HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME)
All participating jurisdictions must contribute or match 25 cents for each dollar of HOME
funds spent on affordable housing. The HOME statute provides for a reduction of the
matching contribution requirement under three conditions: 1) fiscal distress, 2) severe fiscal
distress, and 3) for Presidentially-declared major disasters. When a local jurisdiction meets
one of the above mentioned distress criteria, it is determined to be in fiscal distress and
receives a fifty percent (50 percent) reduction of match. If a local jurisdiction satisfies both
of the distress criteria, it is determined to be in severe fiscal distress and receives a one

hundred percent (100 percent) reduction of match. The City continues to be 100 percent
exempt from Matching Fund Requirements relative to the Federal HOME Program.
Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program
In-kind resources and private donations will be utilized by the non-profit service providers
with the ESG Grant. Other eligible public/private sources will be actively pursued when
feasible.
C. Geographic Distribution
The City's EDA, administrator of the various federal programs and other redevelopment
housing programs, will concentrate most of its housing 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. Public services will be also provided on a citywide basis for
eligible residents. Public facilities and improvement projects and code enforcement
activities will target areas with 51 percent or more of low- and moderate-income persons.
D. Service Delivery and Management
The EDA has the lead responsibility for the development and implementation of the
Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plans for the use of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds.
As the lead agency for implementing the City's Redevelopment Housing Implementation
Plan, EDA coordinates the use of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds, along with redevelopment
housing set-aside funds to address the various housing issues in the community. 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 new construction, rehabilitation
and special needs housing issues in FY 2010-2011.
Numerous projects require the need to involve private developers, as well as non-profit
developers, in order to enhance affordable housing in the City. The 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 used
in conjunction with the implementation of housing rehabilitation programs, grants for mobile
home parks, infill housing, senior housing, and new construction in order to provide
affordable housing opportunities in the City.
EDA also coordinates with the various City departments and divisions (Fire, Code
Enforcement, and Public Works), as well as nonprofit service providers to deliver the
programs and activities outlined in this Action Plan.

FY 2010-2011 Action Plan
The funding amounts in Table 3 are based on estimates from Fiscal Year 2009-2010
allocations. As of March 2010, the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 allocations were not yet available.
The actual allocation amounts for Fiscal Year 2010-2011 could be revised by as much as 10
percent, according to HUD. Revisions to allocation amounts will adjust the objectives and
funding assumptions in this Action Plan.
The following summarizes the City's Strategic Plan priorities and identifies those FY 2010-
2011 activities that address these needs.
Priority: Preserve and Rehabilitate Existing Single-Family Dwellings
Program H-1: Mobile Home Grant Repair Program
Although the compact nature of mobile homes generally reduces maintenance costs, the
cost of maintenance as units age and deteriorate can overextend a lower or moderate
income household's budget. The Mobile Home Grant Repair Program, supported by the
Economic Development Agency and administered by NHSIE, provides grants up to $5,000
for mobile home repairs.
Five-Year Objective: Estimated 100 mobile homes to be rehabilitated over the next
five years, for an average of 20 units rehabilitated annually.
FY 2010-11 Proposed Funding: No funding allocated for FY 2010-11
FY 2010-11 Proposed Accomplishment: n/a
Program H-2: Single-Family Beautification Loan/Grant Program
The Single-Family Exterior Beautification Program assists homeowners who are occupying
their dwellings and whose incomes do not exceed 120 percent of the median income. The
program provides financial assistance of up to $15,000 to homeowners for exterior
improvements to their property. As a condition of receiving this assistance, property owners
are required to attend a "Preventative Maintenance" class conducted by one of the City's
local non-profit partners, Neighborhood Housing Services of the Inland Empire (NHSIE).
Five-Year Objective: Estimated 500 households to be assisted over the next five
years, for an average of 100 households assisted annually.
Funding: Redevelopment Set-Aside funds
FY 2010-11 Proposed Accomplishment: No specific accomplishment identified
Program H-3: Elderly/Special Needs Minor Repair Grant Program (Old Timers Grant)
The Old Timers Foundation, a local non-profit corporation, performs minor and emergency
home repairs for low income homeowners (80 percent and below median Income). Repairs
cannot exceed $1,000 per housing unit. Seniors (60 years or older), disabled persons or
recipients of SSI are eligible for this program. Qualified repairs include: plumbing (i.e., sink
fixtures), replacing of doors, screer.s, and window glass, and minor electrical repairs.
Outreach for the program is conducted at various Senior Centers throughout the City, and
by word-of-mouth.
Five-Year Objective: Estimated 425 households to be assisted over the next five
years, for an average of 85 households assisted annually.

Priority: Improve Neighborhood Conditions through Code Enforcement and
Abatement of Dilapidated Structures
Program H-4: Code Compliance's Neighborhood Revitalization
As an older city, many of the City of San Bernardino's neighborhoods are experiencing signs
of decline. Many of the City's low income neighborhoods have higher incidents of code
violations. A number of factors influence this higher rate, including an older housing stock, a
lack of return on income investment, and lower income residents with limited resources for
housing maintenance. As a result, the Code Compliance Department has divided the City
into six revitalization areas that are located within low income census tracts. Two Code
Compliance officers are assigned to each of the following areas:
. Between West 14th Street on the north, West 13th Street on the east and North "K"
Street on the west, and the 1-215 Freeway on the east.
. West Baseline Street on the north, West 9th Street on the south, Western Avenue on
the west, and North Mt. Vernon on the east.
. 18th Street on the north, 13th Street on the south, North "D" Street on the west, and
North Sierra Way on the east.
. West King Street on the north, West Rialto Avenue on the south, North Mt. Vernon
Street on the west, and North "K" Street on the east.
. Between North Sierra Way on the north and West 40th Street on the south.
. Along the 1-215 Freeway between Lakewood Drive and Little Mountain Drive.
Code Compliance's Neighborhood Revitalization efforts work in concert with the
Redevelopment Agency's Housing Revitalization Programs and the Preventative
Maintenance and Homebuyer Education classes provided by Neighborhood Housing
Services of the Inland Empire (NHSIE), one of the City's local non-profit partners.
In addition to conducting property inspections, Code Compliance strives to improve the
residential environment 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.
Five-Year Objective: Estimated 25,000 properties to be inspected over the next five
years, for an average of 5,000 properties inspected annually.
FY 2010-11 Proposed Funding: $1,542,646 CDBG

Five-Year Objective: Estimated 1,500 persons to be assisted over the next five
years, for an average of 300 persons assisted annually.

home within the City limits. Eligible properties can include condominiums, town homes, and
single-family detached homes. The Homebuyer Assistance Program provides financial
assistance (of up to 20 percent of the purchase price) that may go towards down payment
,
and closing costs. The homes purchased under this program may be located in any census
tract in the City, as long as the dwelling is used as the homebuyer's principal residence and
the home remains affordable for a period of not less than forty-five (45) years.
Five-Year Objective: Estimated 250 households to be assisted over the next five
years, for an average of 50 households assisted annually.
Funding: Redevelopment Set-Aside funds, Private funds

F. Planning and Administration
During the upcoming five-year Consolidated Plan period, the City will continue to administer
the CDBG, HOME and ESG programs in compliance with program regulations and
requirements. Up to 20 percent of CDBG funds can be used by the City to support the
general administration of the CDBG program.
G. Lead Based Paint Reduction Strategy
The City's Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Strategy can be 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.
The City currently integrates lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities into existing
housing inspection and rehabilitation programs. The Economic Development Agency (EDA)
provides referrals to and works cooperatively with the County's Lead-Based Paint Removal
Program to coordinate efforts to reduce lead-based paint hazards through testing. The
County also receives funds from the State Department of Community Services for the
development of education and to raise awareness of lead-based paint. Additionally,
educational materials are provided to residents through the San Bernardino Redevelopment
Agency's Rehabilitation Program, which informs residents of lead hazards, as well as how to
get tested, report, and remove the hazard. The Agency is also remediating and stabilizing
80 percent of rehabilitated properties by the removal or encapsulation of lead-based paint.

H. Overcoming Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City recently undertook a major effort to eliminate constraints, with respect to land use
regulations, by developing and adopting a new Zoning Code that unified and simplified the
City's development regulations and processes. That effort was followed by a reorganization
of the City to unify the various development-related departments into a single Development
Services Department and a one-stop permit counter.
Moreover, the City is in the process of making the following additional amendments to the
Municipal Code in order to further reduce barriers to affordable housing:
Corridor Improvement Program
The City will facilitate investment and intensification along its underutilized corridors by
codifying the development and lot consolidation incentives proposed in the General Plan
Land Use Element Corridor Improvement Program. The four Corridor Strategic Areas,
Mount Vernon, E Street, Baseline, and Highland, are generally characterized by
underperforming strip commercial, vacant or underutilized parcels, deteriorating structures,
and inconsistent facades and signage. The Corridor Improvement Program is an optional
package of policies, regulations, and incentives intended to stimulate investment and
development in the Corridor Strategic Areas. While the underlying land use designations still
apply, the property owner may request, and the City may choose to apply, aspects of the
Corridor Improvement Program necessary to achieve the desired results. Key incentives
include: allowing increased densities for housing and mixed-use projects within 500 feet of a
transit stop, increasing density and FARs for mixed-use projects that replace strip
commercial on arterials, and increased density for projects that combine parcels (lot
consolidation). Furthermore, Code Enforcement activities in this area will encourage
violators to demolish unsafe buildings through existing demolition programs and educate
property owners of new opportunities available through the Corridor Improvement Program.
General Lot Consolidation Incentive
The City will amend the Development Code to incentivize lot consolidation for projects that
promise to commit to management plans and provide on-site management. Small, individual
lots offer limited development potential, and generally cannot support on-site property
management. Development opportunities could be increased through a small-lot
consolidation program that offers a 15 percent density bonus to projects with a residential
component that are committing to a maintenance plan and having on-site management. This
encourages a more efficient use of the land while ensuring adequate long-term maintenance
and oversight of a property.
Action Plan: One Year Use of Funds
Page 29
City of San Bernardino
FY 2010-2011 Action Plan
Density Bonus Provisions
The City will facilitate higher density and affordable housing development by amending the
development code to reflect the latest amendments to State density bonus law. Density
bonus provisions reward developers providing affordable housing to seniors or families with
an increase in density and reduced building requirements, such as reduced parking,
reduced setbacks, and other factors that decrease the cost of housing production. Density
bonus projects can be an important source of housing for lower and moderate income
households.
Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance
The City will reduce governmental constraints to housing for disabled persons by adopting a
Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance. The City of San Bernardino does not currently
have a formal process for requesting exemptions from government regulations for the
purpose of creating housing accessible to disabled persons. A Reasonable Accommodation
Ordinance will enact a process for disabled individuals (or those acting on their behalf) to
make requests for reasonable accommodation for relief from burdensome land use, zoning,
or building laws, rules, policies, practices, and/or procedures.
Emergency Shelters
The City plans to adopt a permanent emergency shelter ordinance, define emergency
shelters in the definitions section of the Development Code, and create development and
management standards in accordance with Senate Bill 2.
Transitional and Supportive Housing
The City will amend the Development Code to adequately define transitional and permanent
supportive housing and permit these uses based on unit type, in accordance with Senate Bill
2.
Streamlined Processing
The City is committed to continuing the streamlining of development activities and
regulations and will continue to analyze potential programs that seek to eliminate land use
constraints, particularly as related to the provision of new housing and rehabilitation of
existing housing. The City is considering amendments to the Municipal Code that will allow
increased administrative authority for staff or Zoning Administrator to grant discretionary
approvals for housing projects, administrative relief for lower cost housing and density
bonus programs, and deviations from the Development Code for lower cost and senior
housing projects. In addition, the City will continue to evaluate fees to identify those that may
be waived and/or decreased in order to encourage lower cost and senior citizen housing.
The City and EDA will continue dialogue and project coordination with various public/private
agencies involved in imple,llenting 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.

I. Public Housing
1. 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 Capital Fund 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.
2. 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 a
jurisdiction-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.
Action Plan: One Year Use of Funds
Page 31
City of San Bernardino
FY 2010-2011 Action Plan
J. Institutional Structure
The Economic Development Agency (EDA) of the City of San Bernardino is the lead agency
for the development and implementation of all of the City's housing and community
development programs. The Agency is responsible for the preparation and implementation
of the five-year Consolidated Plan, annual Action Plans, and any amendments to either
Plan. In addition, the Agency is responsible for preparing the Consolidated Annual
Performance Evaluation Reports (CAPERs), which reports the progress achieved during a
given fiscal year.
Implementation of the Consolidated Plan requires the efficient leveraging of multiple funding
sources - federal, state, local, and private resources. These funds create housing and
economic opportunities for low and moderate income households, particularly those with
special needs.
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. The City and EDA will also continue to coordinate the execution
of a regional homeless assistance plan with a countywide Homeless Coalition and the
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
. AFL-CIO
. Veterans
. Building Industry Association
. Habitat for Humanity
. Local colleges
. Job training groups
The participation of the City and EDA in this cooperative effort enables and facilitates the
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.
Gaps in Service Delivery System
The most significant gap in the service delivery system is the lack of sufficient funding to
address the City's extensive needs. To bridge this gap, the City actively pursues additional
funding opportunities for housing and community development. The City also encourages
public/private partnerships to maximize the effective use of resources.
Action Plan: One Year Use of Funds
Page 32
City of San Bernardino
FY 2010-2011 Action Plan
K. Coordination
Many projects involve the coordinated efforts of public, private and quasi-public agencies
and organizations. For example, the Agency coordinates the development and execution of
a regional homeless assistance plan with a countywide Homeless Coalition and a Local
Coordinating Group.
The Economic Development Agency will continue to meet with public and other housing and
supportive service providers to use all available resources to the maximum levels of
effectiveness. Meetings with these agencies will occur regularly throughout the fiscal year
to endorse applications for funding and to discuss cooperative ventures. The City and EDA
will also continue dialogue and project coordination with the various public/private agencies
involved in implementing the City's housing goals in order to receive input on regulations,
codes, and ordinances that could potentially have adverse effects on the development of
affordable housing.
L. Monitoring
The City of San Bernardino follows strict internal monitoring procedures to ensure funds are
used appropriately and effectively. Subrecipients are monitored through quarterly reports
and onsite visits by the grants coordinator. Affordable housing development projects are
monitored to ensure compliance with housing quality standards with City staff performing
site visits, inspections, and auditing tenant files. In addition, property management is
required to submit reports documenting compliance with income restrictions.
The City will continue to 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 of planned
activities, as described in the Plan, as well as other information that describes the progress
and successes of activities. The Five-Year Consolidated Plan priorities will be evaluated
through a comparison of the goals set out for the fiscal year and the productivity
characteristics and completion data for each program or activity implemented for the
accomplishment of those goals.
1. Performance Measures
The City has been continually working to develop a system that measures productivity and
program impact.
Productivity
The Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) is used to track expenditures
and accomplishments of CDBG and HOME funds. This information is subsequently used by
staff to prepare the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) and to
evaluate future funding applications.
Program Impact
Action Plan: One Year Use of Funds
Page 33
City of San Bernardino
FY 2010-2011 Action Plan
An appropriate performance measurement system would also include a component that
measures program impact. Program impact reflects the extent to which activities yield the
desired results in the community or in the lives of persons assisted.
Output-Based Performance
Outputs are direct products of a program's activities. They are typically measured in terms
of the volume of work accomplished, such as number of low income households served,
number of items processed, or number of units constructed or rehabilitated. The processes
described above provide the department with the necessary level of information to satisfy
the "outputs" component.
Outcome-Based Performance
Outcomes are benefits that result from a program or activity. Outcomes typically relate to a
change in conditions, skills, knowledge, status, etc. Outcomes could include improved
quality or quantity of local affordable housing stock, improved or revitalized neighborhoods
or improved quality of life for program participants.
The City intends to require each subrecipient of federal funds to describe beyond
quantitative accomplishments how their programs and/or activities provide a more
comprehensive, far reaching level of improvement to each individual benefiting from the use
of federal funds.
M. Specific Program Requirements
The "Listing of Proposed Projects" in Appendix D details the City's Priority Description and
One-Year CDBG Funds Investment Plan for the City of San Bernardino. Proposed housing
activities primarily involve assistance for housing rehabilitation and code enforcement.
Proposed non-housing activities include public facility improvements and the funding of a
multitude of public services/agencies. A majority of the publiC service agencies funded
provide counseling, food, job training, child care and serve the City's seniors,
children/adolescents, youth programs, shelters, etc., and households in general.
