The new housing community development strategy will integrate the following submissions into one consolidated plan document: the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy(CHAS),the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)Final Statement,the Home Investments Partnerships(HOME)Program Description,and the Emergency Shelter Grant(ESG)Application. The statutes for the grant programs set forth three basic goals which are closely related to the major commitments and priorities of HUD. Each of these goals must primarily benefit low-and very low-income persons. First,the programs are to provide decent housing. Included within this broad goal are the following: assist homeless persons to obtain affordable housing;retain the affordable housing stock;and increase the availability of permanent housing that includes structural features and services to enable persons with special needs to live in dignity. Second,the programs are to provide a suitable living environment. This includes improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods;increasing access to quality facilities and services;reducing the isolation of income groups within areas by deconcentrating housing opportunities and revitalizing deteriorating neighborhoods;restoring and preserving natural and physical features and special value for historic,architectural,or aesthetic reasons;and conserving energy resources. The third major statutory goal of the programs is to expand economic opportunities. Within this goal are creating jobs accessible to low-and very low-income persons;providing access to credit for community development that promotes long-term economic and social viability; and empowering low-and very low-income persons in federally assisted and public housing achieve self-sufficiency. The consolidated strategy and plan furthers the statutory goals through a collaborative process whereby a community establishes a unified vision for community development actions. Consolidating the submission requirements offer local jurisdictions a better chance to shape the various programs into effective,coordinated neighborhood and community development strategies. It also creates the opportunity for strategic planning and citizen participation to take place in a comprehensive context,and to reduce duplication of effort at the local level. As part of the new Consolidated Plan requirement,all jurisdictions are required to hold a minimum of two(2)public hearings during each program year cycle in order to help identify housing and community development needs and to review the proposed use of funds. The first of these two(2)Public Hearings was held December 5, 1994. It is now appropriate to schedule the second Public Hearing for May 15, 1995. The Public Notice contained in the attached exhibit has been published in local newspapers pursuant to HUD regulations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BJL:LJW,consplan(dle) COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 05101/1995 Agenda Item Number: EDA/DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT RE: PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR 1995/1996 CONSOLIDATED PLAN May 1, 1995 page 2 Recommendation Based upon the above,it is appropriate to set the Consolidated Plan Public Hearing for May 15, 1995 at 3:00 p.m.in the Council Chambers.

CONSOLIDATED PLAN SUMMARY-The Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive five-year strategy that addresses the use of Federal grant/entitlement funds(such as Community Development Block Grant,Home Investment Partner Act,and Emergency Shelter Grant Program)for the purpose of meeting the goals of providing decent housing,a suitable living environment,and expanded economic opportunities,principally for low-and moderate-income persons.

The Consolidated Plan is composed of three parts: 1)The first section of the Consolidated Plan evaluates the Housing and Community Development Needs for the City of San Bernardino. This includes an assessment of housing needs for extremely low,low-and moderate- income families,including the needs of homeless individuals and families. In addition,a housing market analysis was completed that includes a review of housing;2)Based on this information,a five-year strategic plan was developed which includes priorities for assisting categories of residents by income level,objective statements,proposed programs,as well as accomplishments that are expected to be achieved in the next five years;3)An annual Action Plan provides a one-year investment plan which outlines intended use of resources, sets goals of the numbers of individuals and families to be assisted by income level,and describes activities to be undertaken.
