Staff report presented by Beverly Luttrell, Associate Planner. Councilmember Gutierrez questioned why Best Buy has not complied with all of their conditions and the Masi project is being asked to do certain things. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated it is because Best Buy ran into some problems with Caltrans so they were given some time to complete the landscaping, but that the conditions for both projects are the same. Councilmember Gutierrez questioned why some trash areas have to be covered and some do not. Brad Buller, City Planner, explained that any center built in the last three to four years has to have covered trash areas. Councilmember Williams felt the City should move forward with whatever sign program we now have and not get into the same situation as Best Buy. Councilmember Biane stated he felt the City should work with the developer and that he supported the appellant. Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the Council was: Michael Scandi~o, 11871 Foothill, spoke about the things they have done so far going above and beyond what was required of them for this project. He stated they are there to preserve the history of this site. He showed drawings of the trash enclosure as the City wanted it to be. He did not agree with the 9 - 11 foot trash enclosure structure, but felt the standard 6 foot high enclosure with landscaping and stucco would be better. He stated they don't understand why their signs have to be approved before the building permit is issued for the first building. He stated he did not see why the landscaping has to be as is stated in the conditions of approval. He felt there were projects throughout the City that had exceptions to them City Council Minutes February 15, 1995 Page 5 Brad Buller, City Planner, stated this sign program is consistent with all projects. He stated it can be modified as needed at any time throughout the project. There being no further response, the public hearing was closed. Brad Buller, City Planner, went into each condition being appealed and explained the City's position on the conditions as opposed to what Mr. Scandifio has stated. Mayor Alexander stated he felt the City has worked very hard with the applicant on this project. He felt the City has taken a lot of time with them, but felt there comes a time to take a stand to get this project done and support the Planning Commission on this matter. Councilmember Williams stated she concurred with Mayor Alexander on this. She felt the $10,000 should be designated to go to the Chaffey-Garcia House. She felt the trash enclosure issue was still open. She stated she also supported the Planning Commission's conditions. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he would uphold the Planning Commission on condition #-8, but that he does not agree with #9. He felt #15 should be referred back to the Planning Commission or allow the applicant a chance to develop something. He stated he supported the Planning Commission on #20. Councilmember Curatalo stated he would go along with the Planning Commission's decision and concurred with Councilmember Williams' suggestion of the $10,000 to go to the Chaffey-Garcia Barn. Councilmember Biane stated he felt the City should help the developer and felt they are missing an opportunity to show the business community that the City supports them by supporting the Planning Commission's decision.

Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public comment. Addressing the City Council were: Officer Brown, 1350 W. 14th Street, Upland, did not feel WETIP with Crime Stoppers really did their job. He felt something else was needed to assist with solving crimes. He didn't feel WETIP went out of their way to help someone and that you do have to pay a fee to have WETIP help you catch a criminal. Cindy Fielding, 6230 Haven, stated she agreed with the reward system. She did not feel the police department had enough manpower to catch the criminals. She stated she supported the reward system. She felt criminals should have to contribute into this system. Bill and Miriam Brownell of WETIP gave background information on how their program was started and how it operates. Mrs. Brownell stated there is no fee if you do not want your reward to go over $1,000. She suggested that possibly neighboring cities give a donation for the larger rewards that are needed. Councilmember Curatalo asked for clarification of fees charged. Mrs. Brownell explained how the donations work and that there is no charge to help someone find the person who committed the crime. Officer Brown felt more money should be raised to get someone to come forward with information because he did not feel $1000 was enough. He felt the City should assist WETIP in this area. Councilmember Williams asked what the asset seizure money was used for. Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager, stated it is determined by the State Legislature how that money is spent. Captain Bieberdorf, Police Department, stated the funds are earmarked by the legislature, but that the ideas brought up could be explored. Mayor Alexander stated he would like to see a greater reward for the violent cdmes that are committed. He felt possibly a couple members of the City Council should work on setting up some kind of program for the additional reward. Councilmember Gutierrez felt extraordinary cases should have additional money added for rewards. Councilmembers Curatalo and Gutierrez stated they would work on a report to come back to the Council at the March 15 meeting. Councilmember Willlares asked that the asset seizure money also be looked at. Gary Christian, President of the Chamber of Commerce, pledged the Chamber's support to get the business community involved in this program. City Council Minutes February 15, 1995 Page 9 14.

Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public comment. Addressing the City Council were: Sylvia Wieland commented about the old Public Safety Commission and what they had done in the past. She felt they did a good job and were needed. She stated she felt the City needed to be a safe place and that there needed to be some kind of a safety group other than the City Council who people could go to. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he would like for her to be in one of the positions for the safety issues. George Yankovich of Rancho Cucamonga talked about why he felt the Public Safety Commission was needed and how important it was to the City. He stated he was concerned with the selection process and its members for the task force also. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated it is sometimes good to get a diversity of members also, not just people with a public safety background. Mr. Yankovich offered to show the City Council the laser fingerprint machine he is currently installing throughout the County. John Van Doren felt it was a good idea to have a forum where the citizens can freely express their safety concems. He felt the City is lucky to have the police chief offering to work with the residents on these issues. Councilmember Williams stated she liked the suggestion of staff.

DISCUSSION OF RESIDENTIAL SPRINKLER ORDINANCE NO. 426 (Oral Report) Chief Michael, Fire District, explained that Ordinance 426 was approved and then amended by Ordinance 434. The Council asked various questions about the Ordinance. Chief Michael and Bill Makshanoff, Building Official, explained the effectiveness of the Fire Sprinkler Ordinance and about the permits that have been issued for residential fire sprinklers. Additional questions were asked of staff about how the sprinklers function. Councilmember Gutierrez asked if the Fire District felt that houses should be retrofitted that do not have residential sprinklers. Chief Michael, Fire District, stated the most cost effective way to put the sprinklers in would be to do so at the time of construction. He said to go back and retrofit homes is something he has never seen done, or for a community to mandate this. He stated he is willing to work with someone to go back and do this if that is Council's direction. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he was concerned about the cost of sprinklers and that it might keep someone from purchasing a home because of the increased cost associated with the sprinklers. Councilmember Curatalo asked how long it would take to work with the Building Industry Association (BIA) and come back with a report to the Council to try to work things out. Chief Michael, Fire District, stated 60 to 90 days. Mayor Alexander felt this would be a long process. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he would like to get the BIA's input and then come back to the Council again. Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public input. Addressing the City Council were: Frank Williams, BIA, stated he is not opposed to fire sprinklers. He stated they have led in the campaign for fire safety; He also distributed a hand out. He stated they do not feel the fire sprinklers should be mandatory. He felt there should be a no cost ordinance. He felt if the Council is serious about sprinklers, there should be a retrofit program. He felt someone buying a home should have the choice if they want the sprinklers or not. He stated he would like to address any workshop that takes place. He did not think the workshops should be with staff, but with the Council. He added he did not think 60 to 90 days was needed because it was a difficult and cut and dry issue. Russ Blewitt, former President of the BIA, stated he had a problem with mandatory fire sprinklers. He felt discussions could be completed in 30 days with the City. He felt if the Fire Department provided them with the numbers, they could prove their point. John Van Doren, 11186 Corsica, pointed out the value statement that was in the display case in front of the Chambers. He felt safety was important and that the sprinklers were a good idea because it was a safety feature. He commented about the City being one of the safest in the State of California. Gary Kendrick stated he did not feel the City should give up the sprinkler ordinance now. He felt it should be left intact. He felt the residents should run the City, not the builders. City Council Minutes March 1, 1995 Page 9 Ernie Mansfield of Rancho Cucamonga, stated he would be happy to pay for the sprinkler system. He felt people would be happy to pay the extra money to have then installed. There being no further response, public comments were closed. Mayor Alexander felt it would be a good idea for a workshop and to put closure on this in 45 days. Councilmember Willlares stated she would like to hear from the public. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated 60 days would be appreciated to further work on this. J. IDENTIFICATION OF ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING J 1. Councilmember VVilliams stated she would like a report on temporary use permits, in particular for the corner of Vineyard and Foothill, because of the complaints that came up at Christmas and Halloween. J2. Councilmember Willlares brought up the political sign issue and the signs left from "cat/dog" shows and that they are not being taken down. She felt this should be revisited. K. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC K1. Gary Kendrick stated there is a school board member that does not live in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. He stated Mr. Collins is registered to vote in Victorville. He asked that the Council contact him if they have any questions. He asked that they do something as individuals. K2. Ernie Mansfield of Rancho Cucamonga stated he was here to have an update on Route 30, but that no discussion took place on it even though it was on the agenda. Mayor Alexander explained what the City has done in the last six months regarding this issue and that staff can bring him up to date on this matter. L.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: May3,1995 Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager Brad Buller, City Planner Cindy Norris, Associate Planner/CDBG Coordinator CONSIDERATION OF THE DRAFT CONSOI,IDATED PLAN. THE ANNUAl, COMMUNITY DEVEI,OPMENT BI,OCK GRANT FUNDING AI,I.OCATIONS FOR FY 1995-96. AND AMENDMENTS TO THE CITIZENS' PARTICIPATION PLAN -- The review and adoption of the Federally required Consolidated Plan, which covers the five-year period from FY 1995-1999; the Annual Action Plan for FY 1995-96, including the final selection of projects for the Community Development Block Grant annual application, based on a grant of $1,024,000 and $37,644 in Program Income; and review of required amendments to the City's Federal Citizens' Participation Plan. RECOMMENDATION The City Council conduct a public hearing and take public testimony regarding the Consolidated Plan, Amendments to the Citizens' Participation Plan, and annual review of projects; and adopt the attached resolution approving the Consolidated Plan making all findings, determinations, certifications and adopting policies, therein authorizing the Mayor to submit the Consolidated Plan to HUD and any amendments thereto. BACKGROUND Since the adoption of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act in 1990, the Federal government has required jurisdictions to develop a more comprehensive long range planning format through which to address the use of Federal funds (such as Community Development Block Grant). The first planning effort required by HUD was the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy, or CHAS. The CHAS was a comprehensive document that evaluated all aspects of housing in the community and developed strategies to meet identified housing needs. However, the CHAS only evaluated housing needs and did not look at other community development needs. Additionally, it added an extensive paperwork burden and did not coordinate with other Federal submittal requirements. As a result. HUD has developed a new system that is intended to coordinate and consolidate as many Federal requirements as possible into a single plan. The result of this effort is the Consolidated Plan. CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CDBG DRAFT CONSOLIDATED PLAN FY 1995-96 May 3, 1995 Page 2 ANALYSIS THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN The Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive five-year strategy that addresses the use of Federal grant/entitlement funds (including CDBG funds) for the purpose of meeting the goals of providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic oppommities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The Consolidated Plan combines the application and reporting requirements for four Federal formula grant programs and it replaces the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) and the Community Development Block Grant Final Statement. The Consolidated Plan is composed of three parts: 1) The first section of the Plan evaluates the Housing and Community Development needs for the City. 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 available homeless and special needs facilities, as well as a review of barriers to affordable 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. In addition, non-housing community development needs were addressed; 3) From the prior information, an Annual Action Plan was developed that provides a one-year investment plan which outlines intended use of resources, sets goals for the number of individuals and families to be assisted by income level, and describes activities to be undertaken. An executive summary of the Consolidated Plan is included as Attachment A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ANNUAL PROJECT FUNDING CDBG funds are provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to cities and counties based on a formula which considers the community's population, extent of poverty, and age of housing stock. To be eligible for CDBG funding, activities must at least meet one of the two following criteria: 1) Improve the living environments or employment opportunities of low- and moderate-income persons, either by providing benefits directly to lower-income persons or by providing improvements to areas occupied primarily by lower-income persons; 2) Prevent or eliminate community blight or blighting influences. In addition, CDBG regulations provide that at least 70 pement of all funds must be directed to activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons. Of the activities proposed for fiscal year 1995-96, 100 percent benefit low-and moderate-income persons. 4/ CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CDBG DRAFT CONSOLIDATED PLAN FY 1995-96 May 3, 1995 Page 3 This year's grant allocation of $1,024,000 represents a 28 percent increase over last year's, up from $800,000. The City received a total of 18 proposals, of which 12 were for public service related activities. In evaluating proposals, first priority was given to those projects that were in progress and on-going such as Southwest Cucamonga street improvements, Lions Center West ADA Improvements, and the Home Improvement Program. Capital Improvement: With regard to Capital improvement projects, the Engineering Division, in conjunction with the Consolidated Plan, developed a five-year improvement program which is outlined in the Strategic Plan and included in Attachment B. The program is based on target area data assessment, field research, and citizen request. Of primary concern was the completion of the Southwest Cucamonga streets and related improvements. Construction of 9th Street will complete the original target area. Improvements to Tapia Via Drive and Ranchefia Drive are the next priorities because of their proximity to the Southwest Cucamonga target area and based on prior citizen request. Monte Vista Street, between Amethyst and Archibald, will also be considered a priority. However, Monte Vista has not yet been approved as a qualified target area by HUD. It is not located in a Census Block Group that itself qualifies; therefore, a special survey for this street was completed in February to obtain the necessary income information. Community Facilities: Community facility improvements are intended to be provided, to the extent possible, based on CDBG eligibility requirements. While the Lions Center complex is not located in a qualified target area, nor does it serve a targeted clientele, handicap improvements to the facilities are eligible. Funds to complete the extensive improvements required at Lions West, to bring it into conformance with ADA requirements, have been banked for the past two years. Additional funds will be provided this year in order to allow completion of the improvements. Only minor handicap improvements are eligible and required at Lions East, which should be completed this year as pan of a larger City Rehabilitation effort. Home Improvement: The City's Home Improvement program has been in existence since 1990. The program offers deferred payment loans of up to $25,000, and grants of up to $5,000. Since the program's inception it has been overwhelmed with requests for assistance from both the single- family and mobile-home community. There are currently 46 residents on the waiting list for single- family rehabilitation and 27 residents on the mobile-home waiting list. With the funds available to this program, the City has been able to complete 22 units on average over the last three years, with 26 units completed in the 1993-94 fiscal year. Many of those assisted in the last year required emergency roof repair/replacements because of the past wet winter season. Because of funding limitations, the program was only able to complete one loan request. The remaining 25 units assisted were funded with grants. Units receiving assistance through loans typically require a larger amount of funds resulting in fewer residents overall that can be assisted. However, the program's goal is to increase the number of loans, as this provides return Home Improvement income in subsequent years. Public Services: Federal regulations allow communities to use up to 15 percent of their grant allocation to fund public service activities. The amount recommended for FY 1995-96 is the same as in the previous year, as shown in Attachment C. [n prior years, there were concerns with increasing the number of public service providers because of the uncertain nature of the funds and priority of on-going capital improvement projects. Additionally, those projects that were funded met the priority of assisting an immediate public health and safety need, such as food and shelter. CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CDBG DRAFT CONSOLIDATED PLAN FY 1995-96 May 3, 1995 Page 4 A youth prevention program sponsored by the YWCA was added at the City Council's direction during the prior program year. Should additional public service providers be added in this program year, it would be staffs recommendation that the transitional homeless shelter program, provided by Foothill Family Shelter, be considered in order to provide a comprehensive homeless shelter/services program in conjunction with programs already receiving funding. Homelessness, and near homelessness, is a problem in every jurisdiction and for the region as a whole in the Inland Empire. The City currently funds assistance for short term emergency needs, but does not address longer term assistance to help families transition into permanent housing. A summary of the public service provider applications is provided in Attachment D along with an Evaluation Checklist provided in Attachment E. Program Recommendations: The current recommendations for program funding for the 1995-96 fiscal year are as follows: ESTIMATED FY 1995-96 FY 1995-96 FY 1994-95 NEW TOTAL REPROGRAM At .l .OCATION AMOUNT ADMINISTRATION 0 128,400 128,400 CAPITAl, IMPROVEMENT 9th Street Design/Construction Wheelchair Ramps Sidewalk Repair Tapia Via Drive Design Lions Center West Lions Center East 590 0 0 0 204,470 0 264,000 20,260 22,760 30,000 228,520 35,350 264.590 20.260 22.760 30000 32.990 35 350 HOME IMPROVEMENT Home Improvement Oldtimers' Foundation 20,000 * 0 247,804 8,000 267,804 8,000 PUBI.IC SERVICES Graffiti Removal Fair Housing Landlord Tenant House of Ruth Homeless Outreach West End Hunger-SOVA YWCA 0 0 0 0 430 0 0 27,510 11,300 8,570 7,600 7,570 7,000 7,000 27,510 11,300 8,570 7,600 7,570 7,000 7,000 * Includes Program Income CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CDBG DRAFT CONSOLIDATED PLAN FY 1995-96 May 3, 1995 Page 6 A summary comparison of CDBG fund allocations for fiscal years 1994-95 and 1995-96 is included in Attachment C. Program Income: Program Income was derived from several sources in th.e last year, the sale of the Ledig House, repayment of deferred loans, and reimbursement by the Cucamonga County Water District for work completed on a waterline. A total of $28,051 in funds were reimbursed from the sale of the Ledig House. An additional $7,745 received in payment from a deferred loan which was repaid in a prior year, but not budgeted, and will therefore be included as a carryover. These housing related funds, totaling $35,796, are to be programed to the Home Improvement Program. An additional $9,593 was reimbursed from construction of a waterline. These capital funds will be programmed to the Tapia Via Design project. CITIZENS' PARTICIPATION PLAN The City is required to adopt a Citizens' Participation Plan that sets forth policies and procedures for citizen participation with regard to Federal grant/entitlement programs. The City's Citizen Participation plan has been amended in conformance with provisions of the Consolidated Submission Final Rule, Section 91.105, and is included in the Consolidated Plan. CORRESPONDENCE Notice of availability of the draft Consolidated Plan, of proposed annual funding allocations and of the public hearing was published one month prior to the meeting, on April 4, 1995, in the Inland Valley Dally Bulletin, as a display ad. Notice was also published in the LaVoz newspaper on April 6, 1995. Notices were also mailed ~o adjacent public agencies, including the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County; area public service providers; public housing residents; and agencies that submitted applications for CDBG funding.

Revised regulations for 1995 consolidate the planning and application requirements of four Federal formula grant programs into one single submission, they are: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grant ('ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). This consolidated submission replaces the previous Consolidated Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) and Final Statement applications. The Five-Year Consolidated Plan, for FY 1995 to 1999, is based on the last CHAS submittal, which covered the period from 1994-1998. Both the Consolidated Plan and the CHAS are five- year planning documents which: 1) identify housing needs and problems; 2) analyze market conditions and resources; 3) set priorities and adopt strategies for addressing the identified needs; 4) allocate resources; and 5) contain an annual plan which identifies federal funds expected to be used, indicate the activities on which they will be spent and set goals for the number and type of households to be assisted by the applicable federally-funded programs. Additionally, the Consolidated Plan will include a plan for use of non-housing funds under the CDBG program. PROCESS TO DEVELOP PLAN The City of Rancho Cucamonga is the designated lead agency in the development of this plan. The process involved in developing the Consolidated Plan required the involvement of various City departments as well as contact with various State, County, and Social Service agencies, including the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County, as a means to acquire data and assess community needs. The City of Rancho Cucamonga was involved in a cooperative effort with the cities of Ontario and Upland to obtain information concerning available services and facilities in the immediate regional area. In addition, City staff conducted combined written and phone surveys of local homeless and special needs providers. A list of those agencies contacted or interviewed regarding housing needs of children, elderly, frail elderly, disabled, persons with HIV/AIDS, and the homeless is provided in Appendix B. Census data used for preparation of the document was obtained either from HUD directly or from the Southern California Association of Governments' (SCAG) Statistical Data Office. Information obtained from SCAG included such items as Census Block Group Maps and the distribution of minority residents. Information concerning incidence of lead-based paint was obtained from the California Childrens Services (CCS) program of the San Bernardino County Health Department and from the State Child Health Development Program. SUMMARY OF NEEDS COMMUNITY PROFILE Income 21.3 percent of all households have incomes below 80 percent of the area median. Based on tenancy, 37.7 percent of all renter households have incomes below 80 percent of the median; whereas, 15 percent of owner households have incomes below 80 percent. In evaluating poverty status, it is found that in all age categories, a greater proportion of those below poverty level are female, with the largest proportion, 11.1 percent for women 65 years and older. Family Type 78 percent of all elderly renter households have incomes below 80 percent of the area median with 56 percent having incomes below 50 percent of the median and 35 percent with incomes below 30 percent of the median. Elderly homeowners are similarly in need with 53 percent having incomes below 80 percent of the median, 28 percent with incomes below 50 percent, and 10 percent with incomes below 30 percent of the median. 46 percent of large renter households have incomes below 80 percent of the median, with the largest proportion, 29 percent, falling in the moderate income category and 17 percent with incomes below 50 percent Cost Burden/Severe Cost Burden 43.3 percent of all renters experience housing cost burden as do 37 percent of all owner households. 18.7 percent of all renter households experience severe cost burden, whereas 10.3 percent of owners experience severe cost burden. Elderly households are disproportionately represented with 74.7 percent experiencing cost burden and 45.8 percent having severe cost burden. Based on Table 6, a majority of all renter households within each family category with incomes below 80 percent of the median experience cost burden. A majority with incomes below 50 percent of the median experience severe cost burden. Based on Table 6, a majority of all owner-occupied households with incomes below 50 percent of the median experience severe cost burden. Overcrowding 1(~.1 percent of all renter households and 3.0 percent of all owner households are overcrowded. Large tenter occupied households are disproportionately represented with 77.1 percent of extremely low, 60.0 percent of low, and 35.6 percent of moderate income households overcrowded. 2 47 Substandard Condition 1,063 low/moderate income renter units, 11.2 percent of total uniU, are estimated to be substandard with 882 units suitable for rehabilitation. 987 low/moderate owner occupied units, 4 percent of the total units, are estimated to be substandard with 819 units suitable for rehabilitation. Housing Problem A majority of all low/moderate income households experience some type of housing problem. Minority Representation A large proportion of Black, low income households, 61.8 percent, are small families compared to 45.4 percent of all low income households. Of renter-occupied, low income, Hispanic households, 29.8 percent are large, compared to 12 percent of all low income renter households. Minority households also experience greater incidence of housing problems with 59.1 percent of minority renter households experiencing problems compared to 49 percent for the City as a whole, and 48.9 percent of minority owner households are compared to 39 percent for the City as a whole. Extremely low income, Black renter and owner households, in particular, have a significant problem with 100 percent of all households having some problem, while 100 percent of extremely low income Hispanic households having a housing problem. Homeless Surveys have identified between 25 and 156 homeless in the City at any one time. In every case, the majority of those individuals were identified as Hispanic males. However, it is possible that in recent months the numbers have declined due to new vagrancy laws passed by the City prohibiting the solicitation of day labor. Special Needs In evaluating special needs populations, the City has identified the following categories: elderly and frail elderly, disabled, persons with drug and alcohol addictions, persons with ADS or related diseases, female-headed households, large families, and public housing residents. In each case, the nature and extent of the special needs populations have increased in past year and are likely to continue to do so. Lead Paint Hazard 1,746 low/moderate income households are estimated to have incidence of lead-based paint. The Child Health and Disabilities Prevention Program of San lkrnardino County, recorded 10 cases of lead poisoning of lOug/dl in Rancho Cucarnonga; nine of those cases were in the 91730 ZIP code area. MARKET AND INVENTORY CONDITIONS HOUSING MARKET SUMMARY Housing Mix In 1990, 70 percent of the homing stock was owner occupied. Multi-family housing increased from 17 percent of the total housing stock in 1980 to 30 percent in 1990, with the largest increase in housing with five or more units; an increase from 775 units in 1980 to 5,471 in 1990. Vacancy The vacancy rate was identified at 7.5 percent in 1990, up from 4.8 percent in 1980. The vacancy rate was higher, 14.9 percent, for multi-family units with five or more units. This may be because of lag time for absorption of newly constructed units. Bedroom Mix 84 percent of all owner-occupied units have three or more bedrooms, while only twenty- eight percent of rental units have three or more bedrooms. In 1990, 177 rental units and 311 homeowner three bedroom units were identified as being available to extremely low and low income households. Housing Availability There is an inadequate supply of small size (1-2 bedroom) owner units for small owner households. There is a demand for 5,144 units. There is a limited supply of large rental units. In 1990, there was a demand for 1,298 units. Age of Housing Stock 56 percent of the City's housing stock has been built since 1979, with 95 percent built since 1960. Individual older units are scattered throughout the City with a few concentrations in areas designated as low income target areas as well; North Town, Southwest Cucamonga, and Monte Vista Street. Housing Cost Ownership housing costs have declined significantly in the last five years. While reliable data is difficult to obtain, TRW monthly housing price comparisons indicate a 6 percent price decrease for this period. Interest rates have declined dramatically, increasing housing affordability and stimulating sales. 4q · Rental housing costs have remained flat, or have possibly declined in the last four years. Housing Affordablity ' A total of 663 renter and 829 owner occupied units were available to extremely low and low income homeowners in 1990. There is an inadequate supply of housing available to extremely low and low income households. There was a demand for 2,371 units affordable to these income levels in 1990. Assisted Housing There are 11 assisted multi-family units, with a total of 906 assisted units available as of February 1995. The Housing Authority of San Bernardino has 16 scattered site public housing units in the City. As of July 1, 1994, there were 195 Section 8 participants in the City. As of July 1, 1994 there were 150 residents on the waiting list for public housing and 166 residents on the waiting list for Section 8 housing. There are 46 residents on the City's Home Improvement Waiting list for single family rehabilitation assistance and 27 residents on the mobile home rehabilitation waiting list Target Areas There are six identified low income target areas in the City. Five areas qualified based on the 1990 Census and the quartile method. The sixth area was qualified based on a special survey. Barriers and Constraints to Housing The majority of significant constraints on the production of affordable housing are because of non-governmental constraints such as the lack of available financing, employment reductions, land costs, and market absorption. 5 Renter Priority Needs Summary Table PRIORITY HOUSING NEEDS (houleholcll) Small Large Cost Burden · 30% Cost Burden · 50% Physical Dfifects Overcrowded Cost Burden · 30% Cost Burden · 50% Physical Defects Overctowde<l Cost Burden · 30% Cost Bumln > 50% PhySiCll Deflctl Cost BuKlen · 30% Cost Burden · 50% Ektely PRIORITY HOMELESS NEEDS Outrelc~ Assee,,s,'nent Emergency SheItem : Tranmtlwtal Sheltws Pen~anent Sul:C~tNe Houseg Permanent Housing Priority Need Level High.

Additionally, the determination of priorities was based upon evaluation of identified commtmity needs and available resources. The Priority Summary Needs Table illustrates the City's priority needs. Areas of need are assigned one of four priority designations, which are defined as follows: High Priority: Activities to address this need will be funded by the City during the coming five-year period. Medium Priority: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded during the coming five-year period. Low Priority: The City will not fund activities to address this need during the five- year period. The City will consider certifications of consistency. No Such Need: It has been found that there is no need or the City shows that this need is already substantially addressed. No certifications of consistency will be considered. The following Priority Needs Summary Table provides the priority needs designations as discussed above. Objective Statements Based on analysis of community needs, existing market conditions, available resources, and the prior discussion on priority designation, objectives, and prograras were developed in each of four areas; Housing Affordability, Homeless, Other Special Needs, and Non-Housing Community Development Needs.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: May 3, 1995 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager FROM: William J. O'Neil, City Engineer BY: Lucinda E. Hackeft, Associate Engineer SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE ANNUAL ENG~ER'S REPORTS AND RESOLUTION FOR THE LEVY OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS WITHIN LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS NOS. 1, 2, 3A, 3B, 4, 5 6, 7 AND 8 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 95/96. NO INCREASE OF ASSESSMENT RATE IS PROPOSED. RECOMMF, NDATION: It is recommended that City Council hold a Public Hearing and approve the Annual Engineer's Reports and Resolution establishing the assessment rates for Landscape Maintenance Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3A, 3B, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. It is also recommended that there be no increase in assessment rates in these districts for Fiscal Year 1995/96. BACKGROUND/ANAl ,YSIS Below is an itemized analysis on a district by district basis. To summarize, it is recommended that assessment rates not be increased in any of the Landscape Maintenance Districts for the FY 1995/96. Reasons for this recommendation include water costs savings due to a combination of water conservation efforts, last yeats wet winter and mild summer. Water conservation efforts include a program to computerize the irrigation systems for all of the DisU'ict's maintained landscape areas. So far, all of the district's parks and approximately 25% of the landscape areas within the districts are on the system. In many of the districts the tax delinquency rate has decreased and back taxes have been paid with interest and penalties thereby increasing the revenue in those districts. In some districts an increase in the amount of landscape area to maintain has caused an increase in the amount of maintenance and operation costs. These costs will be offset by increases in revenue. In past years any available prior year carryover was used to keep assessments below the annual assessments revenue requirements. In some districts this is still true and has allowed the assessment rate to remain constant. The following, along with reference to the Preliminary Engineers Reports, identifies proposed FY 95/96 rates. The Preliminary Engineer's Reports identifies the required budget for each district and any carryover used to reduce rates. j 7S CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS May 3, 1995 Page 2 Cucamonga County Waster District (CCWD) will not be increasing its water rates in the first half of the FY 95/96 but there may be an increase in January of 1996. This is due to the fact that CCWD is in the middle of a water conservation study and the results will not be available until later on in the year. If there is an increase in January it will be applied to all users in the City including the landscape maintenance districts and will directly affect the operating expenses of these districts. There is sufficient capital within the districts operating budgets this year to absorb the rate increase from CCWD without raising the assessment rates. This is because of water conservation efforts by the City such as Caisense, moisture sensors and Xeriscape landscaping techniques, last year's wet winter and mild summer, lower tax delinquency rates and district carrTovers. In LMD No. 7 there is a fund balance of over $400,000. It is recommended these funds be utilized for construction of the Northeast Park located on East Avenue north of Summit Avenue. The City has received grant funds for this park. The utilization of the LMD fund balance will allow construction of a 7-9 acre park. This would be the only park in the northeast area. A tax delinquency amount is added to each dislrict's budget to cover anticipated delinquencies in tax payments. If the delinquencies are less than expected, funds within the district can be added to the districts fund balance. There is no increase in rates in any of the districts for the Fiscal Year 1995/96. Therefore according to the Landscape and Lighting Act, we are not required to send any notification by mail individually to any property owner of this hearing. Hearing Notices were advertised in the newspaper. Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 - General City It is recommended that the assessment rate remain at $92.21 for the FY 95/96.

This factor along with a 94/95 carryover has allowed the recommended assessment rate to remain constant. FY 95/96 Assessment Rate: The FY 95/96 assessment rate is $92.21, this is no increase over FY 94/95 rate. The following itemizes the assessment rate for the district: Unit No. of Assess.

Background: Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 (LMD #2) represents landscape sites throughout the Victoria Planned Commumty. These sites are associated with areas within Victoria and as such any benefit derived from the landscape installation can be directly attributed to those parcels within that community. Because of this, assessments required for this district are charged to those parcels within that planned community. The sites maintained by the district consist of parkways, median islands, street trees, paseos, commumty Trails and parks. The 32.37 acres of parks in Victoria consist of Kenyon Park, Victoria Groves Park, Vintage Park, Windrows Park and Ellena Park. Ellena Park, which is 4.87 acres will be accepted into this district for maintenance this fiscal year. Ellena Park is located on Ellena East at Kenyon Way and will come on line in November of 1995. The breakdown of maintained areas is as follows: 94/95 95/96 Ground Cover and Shrubs 47.99 47.99 Tuff 40.13 40.13 Parks 27.50 32.37 Comm-nil;y Trails 3.00 3.00 Total Area in LIVID ~2 118.62Acres 124.96 Acres The ground cover, shrubs and tuff areas are maintained under contract by a private landscape maintenance company while the Community Trails are maintained by the City's Trails and Application Crew and the parks are maintained by the City's Park Maintenance Crews. Projected Costs: The majority of the budgeted costs for LMD #2 are for direct maintenance of turf, ground cover and shrubs. These functions, along with tree maintenance and certain irrigation system repair and testing are performed through a Contract Services Agreement the City has with a private landscape maintenance company. The City's Trails and Application Crew maintains the equestrian trails and the City's Park Maintenance Crews maintain the parks within the district. The projected costs to operate and maintain LMD #2 are as follows: Proposed Maintenance Budget for 1995/96 Regular Payroll Overtime Salaries Pan Time Salaries Fringe Benefits Maintenance and Operations Vehicle Maintenance and Operations Equipment Maintenance Mileage Emergency & Routine Vehicle & Equipment Rental Contract Services Landscape Maintenance Tree Maintenance Capita/Expenditures Capital Improvement Projects Capital Vehicle Outlay Capital Equipment Outlay Capital Outlay./Building Improvement General Liability Water Utilities Electric Utilities Telephone Utilities Subtotal: $385.750.00 $5.000.00 $5.580.00 $142 730.00 $62 930.00 $10 000.00 $2 000.00 $0.00 $1,000.00 $651,090.00 $10,000,00 $126.230.00 $17 750.00 $13 600.00 $2 000.00 $12 270.00. $324 170.00 $20000.00 $700.00 $1,792,800.00 Assessment Administration and Generai Overhead Tax Delinquency Subtotal: $145,190.00 $47.814.00 $193,014.00 Total Revenue Required: $1,985,814.00 Less: 94/95 District Carryover <$277,754.00> Assessment Revenue Required $1.708.060.00 For FY 95/96 the district budgeted $2,000.00 for Capital Outlay/Bui/ding Improvements for restroom roof repair at Windrows Park $13,000 for Capital Outlay/Equipment for 50% of a Bac Vac Mower and $60000 for a Blower Line Trimmer; $10,500 for 10% of 6 one-half ton pickups with utility bodies for Capital Outlay/Vehicle and $7,500 for 12% of a 1.5 ton pickup with a 35' aerial tower.

Analysis: In FY 94/95, the assessment rate for LMD #2 was $422.00. It is recommended this rate not increase for the FY 95/96. Part of the reason that the rate did not increase is due to the fact that water usage is down partly due to the implementation of the Catsense Moisture Control imgation system and partly because of the increase of rainfall last season, the decrease in tax delinquency and the back payment of taxes which include interest and penalties. There were no new assessment units added to the district this year.

O'Neil, City Engineer BY: Lucinda E. Hackett, Associate Engineer SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE ANNUAL ENGINEER'S REPORTS AND RESOLUTION FOR THE LEVY OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS WITHIN STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS NOS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 AND 8 FOR FISCAL YEAR 1995/96. NO INCREASE OF ASSESSMENT RATE IS PROPOSED. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City council hold the Public Hearing and approve the Annual Engineer's Reports and Resolution establishing the assessment rates for Street Lighting Maintenance District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. It is also recommended there be no increase in assessment rates in these districts for Fiscal Year 1995/96. BACKGROUND/ANAl .YSIS Below is an itemized analysis on a district by district basis. To summarize, the assessment rates in all eight of the Street Lighting Maintenance Districts are not recommended to be increased this fiscal year. These assessments cover the actual costs of the districts. Southern California Edison has advised the City that there will be a rate decrease of 1.76% for street lights. Therefore electrical charges are expected to remain stable .and the current assessment rate will cover the actual costs of the districts. In prior years State Gas Tax Funds were used to subsidize the districts. At the present time, each district is able to stand on its own without additional funding from other sottrees. In some districts there is an increase in the number of street lights being maintained however these will not affects the assessment rate at this time. Edison charges for traffic signals are also included in the applicable districts. In addition, Operations and Maintenance charges for traffic signals, will also be borne by the applicable districts. In past years any available prior year carryover was used to keep assessments below the annual assessment revenue requirements. This policy continues for the FY 95/96 and will allow the assessment rates to remain stable. The following, in conjunction with reference to the Preliminary Engineer's Reports, identifies proposed FY 95/96 rates which are not recommended for an increase from the FY 94/95 rates. The Preliminary Engineer's Reports identifies the required budget for each district and any carryover used to offset maintenance costs. There is no increase in rates in any of the districts for the Fiscal Year 1995/96. Therefore according to the Landscape and Lighting Act, we axe not required to send any notification by mail individually j CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS May 3, 1995 Page 2 to any proper~3', owner of this hearing.

As more assessment units are annexed to the district it is expected that the street light-to-assessment unit will be reduced thereby reducing the assessment rate.

Background: Street Light Maintenance District No. 3 (SLD #3) is used to fund the maintenance and/or installation of street lights and traffic signals located within the Victoria Planned Community. Generally this area encompasses the area of the City east of Deer Creek Channel, south of Highland Avenue, north of Base Line Road, and west of Etiwanda Avenue. It has been determined that the facilities in this district benefit the properties within this area of the City. The sites maintained by the district consist of street lights on local streets and traffic signals (or a portion thereof) on local streets within the Victoria Planned Community. Typically, street lights are installed by private development as a condition of a development project's approval. Traffic signals and street lights can be installed by development or as a City capital improvement project. Historically, the installation of street lights and traffic signals has not been funded with Street Light District funds, however, this is permitted under the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. Any new street lights in areas to be maintained by the District, will become pan of the active work program at such time as these new areas are annexed into the District. The normal process will be the dedication of the areas to the City, at which time a sufficient non-refundable deposit will be made by the developer to the City. This deposit will provide for costs of energizing and six months of ordinary and usual maintenance, operation and servicing of the street lights in each development at the time of initial operation of the lighting system. The costs will be based on the number and type of street lights and based on Southern California Edison Company's rate for street lights. Immediately upon energization of the street lights, those street lights will become a pan of the work program of the distnct.

O~eil, City Engineer BY: Lucinda E. Hackett, Associate Engineer SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE ANNUAL ENGINEER'S REPORT AND RESOLUTION FOR THE LEVY OF THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THE PARK AND RECREATION IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (PD-85) FOR FISCAL YEAR 1995/96. NO INCREASE OF ASSESSMENT RATE IS PROPOSED. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council hold the public hearing and approve the Annual Engineer's Report and attached Resolution authorizing the levy and collection of assessments within Park and Recreation Improvement District (PD-85) for Fiscal Year 1995/96. BACKG ROUND/ANA I ,YSIS: Park and Recreation Improvement District was created to provide funds to finance the cost of consauction, maintenance, operation and debt payment of Heritage Community Park and Red Hill Community Park. Heritage Community Park is a 40 acre facility located on the southwest comer of Hillside Road and Beryl Street. Red Hill Community Park is 42 acres and is located on the southwest comer of Base Line Road and Vineyard Avenue. The District boundary includes all of the City of Rancho Cucamonga with the general exception of land east of the Deer Creek Channel and the Victoria and Terra Vista Planned Communities. Cucamonga County Water District (CCWD) will not be increasing their water rates in the first half of the FY 95/96 but there may be an increase in January of 1996. This is due to the fact that CCWD is in the middle of a water conservation study and the results will not be available until later on in the year. If there is a rate increase in January it will be applied to all users in the City including PD-85 and will directly affect the operating expenses of this district. There is sufficient capital within the district's operating budgets this year to absorb the rate increase from CCWD without increasing the assessment rate. This is because of water conservation efforts by the City such as Catsense, moisture sensors, last yeaxas wet winter and mild summer, lower tax delinquency rates and district carryovers.

ANNUAL ENGINEERS REPORT CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PD-85 Fiscal Year 1995/96 I rove . William J~ O'~ity Engineer City of Rancho Cucamonga Annual Report PD-85 Fiscal Year 1995/96 AUTHORITY FOR REPORT This report for the 95/96 fiscal year is prepared pursuant to the order of the City Council of the City ofRancho Cucamonga and in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter l, Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, being Division 15, Section 22500 of the Streets and Highways code. Provisions for this annual assessment are included in Chapter 3 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. The purpose of this report is to set forth findings and the assessment analysis for the annual levy of assessments for the Parks and Recreation Improvement District No. PD-85, thereaa°ter referred to as "the District". This District, using direct benefit assessments, has been created to provide funds to finance the cost of construction, maintenance, operation and debt payment of Heritage Community Park and Red Hill Community Park in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. FINDINGS Section 22573, Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, requires assessments to be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. The section states: "The net mount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net mount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements." The means of determining whether or not a parcel will benefit from the improvements is contained in the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7, commencing with Section 5000 of the Streets and Highways Code, State of Califorma). The 1972 Act also provides for the classification of various areas within an assessment district into benefit areas where, by reason of variations in the nature, locatic;n, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of all territory receiving substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements and may consist of contiguous or noncontiguous areas, As the assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are considered a user's fee, not a tax; and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA. Properties owned by public agencies, such as a city, county, state, or the federal government, are not assessable without the approval of the particular agency and, normally, are not assessed. Cmain other parcels used for railroad ~e right-of-way, public utility transmission right-of-way, and common areas are also exempt from assessment. The assessment for mobile home parks will be based upon underlying lot acreage. DISTRICT ANALYSIS A. Improvement District Boundary B, D, The improvement district includes all of the City of Rancho Cucamonga with the general exception of land east of Deer Creek Channel and the Victoria, Caryn & Terra Vista Planned Commumties. All parcels of real property affected are more particularly described in maps prepared in accordance with Section 327 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, which are on file in the office of the San Bernardino County Assessor in the Hall of Records, 172 West Third Street, San Bemardino, Califorma and which are hereby made a pan hereof by reference.

A. Definitions The District is divided into three categories for the purpose of determining the assessments as follows: CATEGORY A - includes parcels based on the number of existing residential units within certain ranges of parcel size. CATEGORY B - includes all parcels not defined in Category A or Category C. CATEGORY C - includes exempt parcels. Exempt parcels were discovered by searching the County Assessor's computer tapes for those parcels that are listed as exempt by the Assessor or which have an assessed value of less than $500. In conducting the search, several parcels were included as exempt that show parcel sizes in excess of 1.5 acres and type codes of, for cP. o example, residential or agriculture. These parcels were added back into the rolls and assessed. Formula The assessment formula is based on actual land use information contained in the current San Bernardino Assessor's computer files and Assessor's parcel maps. Category A: All parcels containing existing residential dwelling units and meeting the following conditions. Parcel Size Range Number of Existing Res. Dwelling Units/Parcel Less than 1.5 acres and 1.51 to 3.5 acres and 3.51 to 7.0 acres and 7.01 to 14.0 acres and 14.01 to 25.0 acres and 25.01 acres & larger and I or more dwelling units 2 or more dwelling units 4 or more dwelling units 8 or more dwelling units 15 or more dwelling units 26 or more dwelling units Category A is based on the number of existing residential units. The actual assessment for Bond Debt Service per existing residential dwelling unit may decrease each year as more residential units are built within the improvement district. Maintenance costs, however, are expected to increase annually and will somewhat offset the anticipated decrease in assessments due to new development. Category B: All parcel not deftned in Category A or Category C. Category C: All exempt parcels as defined below: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. All properties currently tax exempt; All public ownerships; Railroad m~nline rights-of-way; Major utility transmission fights-of-way; Mineral rights; Parcels so small they currently cannot be built upon; All normally assessable parcels within an assessed valuation of less than $500 and 1.5 acres or less: and Summary of Preliminary Assessment Amounts Category A: The preliminary estimated assessment rate which will be levied during fiscal year 1995/96 is $52.00 per dwelling unit for those parcels in Category A. Category A parcels containing more than one residential dwelling unit will be assessed for an amount equal to $52.00 times the number of dwelling units. Category B: The assessment which may be levied for parcels within Category B during fiscal year 1993/94 shall be according to the following schedule: Definition less than 1.50 acres 1.51 acres to 3.50 acres 3.51 acres to 7.0 acres 7.01 acres to 14.0 acres 14.01 acres to 25.0 acres 25.01 acres & larger Category C: The assessment shall be $0.00 for Category C parcels.

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) 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 combines the application and reporting requirement for four Federal formula grant programs and it replaces the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Final Statement. 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 Rancho Cucamonga. 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 available homeless and special needs facilities, as well as a review of barriers to affordable 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 for the numbers of individuals and families to be assisted by income level, and describes activities to be undertaken. Document Availability: The Consolidated Plan will be available for public review and comment from April 4 through May 3, 1995 at the following locations: City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division 10500 Civic Center Drive City of Rancho Cucamonga Public Library 7368 Archibald Avenue Rancho Cucamonga Lions Center 9161 Baseline Road Rancho Cucamonga Neighborhood Center 9791 Arrow Route Copies of the Plan are available upon request at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division.

........................................................... 156 SUMMARY OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS PURPOSE FOR A CONSOLIDATED PLAN Title I of the National Affordable Housing Act established the requirement that State and local governments which apply for direct assistance under certain Federal programs must have a housing strategy which has been approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Revised regulations for 1995 consolidate the planning and application requirements of four Federal formula grant programs into one single submission, they are: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with ADS (HOPWA). This consolidated submission replaces the previous Consolidated Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) and Final Statement applications. The Five-Year Consolidated Plan, for FY 1995 to 1999, is based on the last CHAS submittal, which covered the period from 1994-1998. Both the Consolidated Plan and the CHAS are five- year planning documents which: 1) identify housing needs and problems; 2) analyze market conditions and resources; 3) set priorities and adopt strategies for addressing the identified needs; 4) allocate resources; and 5) contain an annual plan which identifies federal funds expected to be used, indicate the activities on which they will be spent and set goals for the number and type of households to be assisted by the applicable federally-funded programs. Additionally, the Consolidated Plan will include a plan for use of non-housing funds under the CDBG program. PROCESS TO DEVELOP PLAN The City of Rancho Cucamonga is the designated lead agency in the ~levelopment of this plan. The process involved in developing the Consolidated Plan required the involvement of various City departments as well as contact with various State, County, and Social Service agencies, including the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County, as a means to acquire data and assess community needs. The City of Rancho Cucamonga was involved in a cooperative effort with the cities of Ontario and Upland to obtain information concerning available services and facilities in the immediate regional area. In addition, City staff conducted combined written and phone surveys of local homeless and special needs providers. A list of those agencies contacted or interviewed regarding housing needs of children, elderly, frail elderly, disabled, persons with HIV/AIDS, and the homeless is provided in Appendix B. Census data used for preparation of the document was obtained either from HUD directly or from the Southern California Association of Governments' (SCAG) Statistical Data Office. Information obtained from SCAG included such items as Census Block Group Maps and the distribution of minority residents. Information concerning incidence of lead-based paint was obtained from the California Childrens Services (CCS) program of the San Bernardino County Health Department and from the State Child Health Development Program. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION As required in Subpart B of the final rule, a jurisdiction must take steps to ensure adequate public participation. To achieve this end, a public hearing was held on October 19, 1994, at the City Council Chambers. A quarter page display ad concerning this meeting was published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on October 7, 1994. Additionally, display ads were published in two minority newspapers, LaVoz and The Precinct Reporter, on October 6 and 7, 1994. Notices of the meeting were mailed to approximately 48 public and private area agencies, organizations, and individuals. Notices were sent to public housing residents. Notices in both English and Spanish were also posted in public locations including the City Hall, Neighborhood Center, Lions Center, and the City Library. A second public hearing was held on May 3, 1995, at which time the draft Consolidated Plan was considered and project applications for the 1995 program year were evaluated. Notice of the hearing and availability of the draft plan, including a summary of the proposed plan, were published as a display ad on April 4, 1995, in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, 1 .a Voz. and The Precinct Reporter. Notices of the meeting were mailed to area public agencies, public housing residents, and interested community organizations and individuals. Following the final public hearing, notice concerning availability of the approved document for a 30-day review period was published on April 4, 1995. Notice was provided by publishing a summary of the Consolidated Plan in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and the minority paper LaVoz which described its purpose and contents, indicated the beginning and ending dates of the review period, and provided the locations where the document was available for review. The public comment period opened April 4, 1995, and closed May 3, 1995. No comments were received during the 30-day review period. METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES The methodology used for compilation of the Consolidated Plan included: 1) Analysis of data from published sources including the City of Rancho Cucamonga's Five-Year CHAS, Community Profile, and Housing Element; 2) Personal telephone interviews with public officials and representatives of various social service agencies and organizations; and 3) previous surveys, reports, and other available data. The published data, reports, and interviews represent the best available sources of information currently available. Data for the evaluation of special needs was often not available in published form and instead was often provided verbally over the phone. The available published and written data sources utilized include the following: 2 1980 Census 1990 Census - Summary Tape Files 1 and 3 provided by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) Databook published by HUD The City of Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency's Affordable Housing Strategy The San Bernardino County Homeless Coalition 1992 Homeless Census Final Report The 1993 Homeless Survey of the West End of San Bernardino County and the City of Pomona in Los Angeles County, prepared by Sidney M.

Based on tenancy, 37.7 percent of all renter households have incomes below 80 percent of the median; whereas, 15 percent of owner households have incomes below 80 percent. In evaluating poverty status, it is found that in all age categories, a greater proportion of those below poverty level are female, with the largest proportion, 11.1 percent for women 65 years and older. Family Type 78 percent of all elderly renter households have incomes below 80 percent of the area median with 56 percent having incomes below 50 percent of the median and 35 percent with incomes below 30 percent of the median. Elderly homeowners are similarly in need with 53 percent having incomes below 80 percent of the median, 28 percent with incomes below 50 percent, and 10 percent with incomes below 30 percent of the median. 46 percent of large renter households have incomes below 80 percent of the median, with the largest proportion, 29 percent, falling in the moderate income category and 17 percent with incomes below 50 percent Cost Burden/Severe Cost Burden 43.3 percent of all renters experience housing cost burden as do 37 percent of all owner households. 18.7 percent of all renter households experience severe cost burden, whereas 10.3 percent of owners experience severe cost burden. Elderly households are disproportionately represented with 74.7 percent experiencing cost burden and 45.8 percent having severe cost burden. Based on Table 6, a majority of all renter households within each family category with incomes below 80 percent of the median experience cost burden. A majority with incomes below 50 percent of the median experience severe cost burden. Based on Table 6, a majority of all owner-occupied households with incomes below 50 percent of the median experience severe cost burden. Overcrowding 10.1 percent of all renter households and 3.0 percent of all owner households are overcrowded. Large renter occupied households are disproportionately represented with 77.1 percent of extremely low, 60.0 percent of low, and 35.6 percent of moderate income households overcrowded. Substandard Condition 1,063 low/moderate income renter units, 11.2 percent of total units, are estimated to be substandard with 882 units suitable for rehabilitation. 987 low/moderate owner occupied units, 4 percent of the total units, are estimated to be substandard with 8 19 units suitable for rehabilitation. Housing Problem A majority of all low/moderate income households experience some type of housing problem. Minority Representation A large proportion of Black, low income households, 61.8 percent, are small families compared to 45.4 percent of all low income households. Of renter-occupied, low income, Hispanic households, 29.8 percent are large, compared to 12 percent of all low income renter households. Minority households also experience greater incidence of housing problems with 59.1 percent of minority renter households experiencing problems compared to 49 percent for the City as a whole, and 48.9 percent of minority owner households are compared to 39 percent for the City as a whole. Extremely low income, Black renter and owner households, in particular, have a significant problem with 100 percent of all households having some problem, while 100 percent of extremely low income Hispanic households having a housing problem. Homeless Surveys have identified between 25 and 156 homeless in the City ~tt any one time. In every case, the majority of those individuals were identified as Hispanic males. However, it is possible that in recent months the numbers have declined due to new vagrancy laws passed by the City prohibiting the solicitation of day labor. Special Needs In evaluating special needs populations, the City has identified the following categories: elderly and frail elderly, disabled, persons with drug and alcohol addictions, persons with AIDS or related diseases, female-headed households, large families, and public housing residents. In each case, the nature and extent of the special needs populariota have increased in past year and are likely to continue to do so. Lead Paint Hazard 1,746 low/moderate income households are estimated to have incidence of lead-based paint. The Child Health and Disabilities Prevention Program of San Bernardino County, recorded 10 cases of lead poisoning of 10ug/dl in Rancho Cucamonga; nine of those cases were in the 91730 ZIP code area. 9 NEEDS ASSESSMENT Extremely Low (0-30 Percent) and Low Income (0-50 Percent) Individuals or households falling within the extremely low and low income categories are often unable to find affordable housing and services. This need is particularly acute for those in worst case situations with incomes below 30 percent of the area median income, otherwise called extremely low income. Individuals or households that are disproportionately represented are generally represented at least 10 percentage points higher in a category than the percentage of persons in the category as a whole. INCOME As shown in Table 1, a large proportion, 18.7 percent, of all renter occupied households are low income with 9 percent in the worst case category, extremely low (EL), and 9.7 percent in the low (L) income category. Of all owner households, 7 percent are low income with only 3 percent falling within the extremely low category.

CHAS Databook tables show 9,479 tenter-occupied households and 24,090 owner-occupied households while the Census shows 9,997 renter-occupied households and 23,638 owner-occupied households. A review of Table 2(c) indicates that a slightly larger proportion of minority households are low and moderate income as compared with the proportion of low and moderate income households in the City as a whole, 10 percent. Based upon the 1990 Census data, 15 percent of all Hispanic and Asian and Pacific Islander householders are low and moderate income, while 13 percent of Black and Native American households are low and moderate income. 10 CHAS Table 1A Population & Household Data Natno of jun~hcllo{'l: City of Rancho Cucamonca A.

Of elderly renter households, 56 percent fall within the low income category with a significant 35 percent in the extremely low income category. Of elderly owner households, 28 percent are in the low income category with 10 percent of those being extremely low income.

Of total low income Black-renter families, 61.8 percent are small, as compared to 45.4 for all other small renter households; whereas, 26.7 percent of all low income Hispanic-renter households are large as compared to 9.8 percent of all other large-renter households. Large, Hispanic, owner-occupied households are also disproportionately represented with 29.8 percent with incomes below 51 percent as compared to 12 percent of total large owner households with incomes below 51 percent. 12 Table 4 PERCENT OF HOUSEHOLDS WITH INCOMES BELOW 51% HAMFI BY FAMILY TYPE, TENANCY, AND ETHNICITY HOUSEHOLD TYPE Total Elderly Small Large RENTER 1,777 20.0 45.4 9.8 Minority 747 12.9 50.1 20.6 Black 173 12.7 61.8 9.8 Hispanic 480 15.4 50.8 26.7 OWNER 1,706 42.4 29.5 12.0 Minority 600 21.8 36.7 26.5 Black 86 38.4 32.6 16.3 Hispanic 339 26.3 31.9 29.8 Source: CHAS Databook Table 7 COST BURDEN A large proportion of renter households experience some cost burden. Table 5 shows that 43.4 percent of all renter households experience cost burden with 18.7 percefit experiencing severe cost burden. Elderly renters experience the most severe cost burden with 74.7 percent paying more than 30 percent of their income on rent and 45.8 percent paying more than 50 percent of their income on rent. Table 6 shows further, when evaluating cost burden within each income category that the majority of all extremely low and low income renter and owner households are cost burdened: 83 percent of all EL and 91 percent of all L income renters with 72 percent of all EL and 74 percent of all L income owners burdened. When evaluating severe cost burden, Table 4 shows that a greater majority of elderly households, 45.8 percent, experience severe cost burden. Again Table 6 indicates that the great majority of all EL and L income renters and owners in all family groups experience severe cost burdens. 13 Table 5 PERCENT OF TOTAL HOUSEHOLDS WITHIN EACH FAMILY CATEGORY WITH A COST BURDEN GREATER THAN EITHER 30% OR 50% OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME BY INCOME CATEGORY 0-30 HAMFI 31-50 HAMFI 51-80 HAMFI 81-95 HAMH ENTER > 30 > 50 > 30 > 50 > 30 > 50 > 30 > 50 Elderly 34.0 27.0 18.0 15.2 17.1 2.5 3.1 1.1 Small 6.4 6.1 8.8 7.9 14.5 2.8 4.6 0.2 Large 5.9 3.6 8.3 8.3 24.8 5.0 3.3 0.0 Other 4.2 4.2 7.2 6.4 13.9 4.6 6.2 0.4 Total 7.5 6.6 8.8 7.9 15.6 3.6 4.9 0.3 OWNER Elderly 7.5 6.9 10.2 5.4 6.8 2.9 1.1 0.3 Other 1.5 1.4 2.1 1.8 4.2 2.3 3.7 1.4 Total 2.1 2.0 3.0 2.2 4.4 2.4 3.4 1.3 Source: CHAS Databook Table 5 Percentage of total number of households, 9,479 renter households and 24,090 owner households.

As shown in Table 7, the majority of all large renter families in the EL and L income categories, are overcrowded. Unfortunately, the CHAS Databook does not specify incidence of overcrowding for large-owner families so a direct comparison is not possible. However, for the purposes of completing the CPS Priority Table, estimates on the number of overcrowded households for renter households by family type and income have been provided.

It is estimated that 83 percent of these units are suitable for rehabilitation, 198 rental units and 365 owner units. In order to provide analysis of many of the factors considered above, HUD has cross-tabulated three variables to determine the proportion of households in the City that are experiencing "housing problems," as shown in Table 8. The three areas considered include the number of households that: 1) occupy units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or plumbing); 2) live in overcrowded conditions; and 3) have a housing cost burden or have a severe housing cost burden. 16 As indicated in previous analysis, a majority of all EL and L income householders have some type of housing problem. Extremely low income, renter-occupied, Hispanic households are disproportinately represented with 100 percent experiencing some type of housing problem. By comparison, 100 percent of all Black, owner-occupied, extremely low and low income households experiences some type of housing problem.

Table 4 provides information that of small-renter families, Blacks have a larger representation (61.8 percent) than of the total renters (45.4). However, for large-renter families, Hispanics are significantly over-represented with the number of households more than double (26.7 percent) those of the total renters (9.8 percent) in this income group. The distribution for owner-occupied families shows Hispanics exceed by more than half (29.8), the proportion of large families (12.0 percent). In evaluating the number of households with any housing problems, as shown in Table 12, minority households are over represented with 100 percent of Hispanic extremely low income, renter households having some type of housing problem. Of owner households, 100 percent of the extremely low and low income, Black homeowners have some type of problem. 17 Moderate Income (51-80 Percent) INCOME In 1990, 11 percent of the City's total households had incomes below 80 percent of the area median. A vast proportion of those households had significant housing problems with the result that many of these households are unable to find affordable, safe housing to meet their needs within a reasonable cost range. FAMILY TYPE/TENANCY As indicated in Table 1, it was found that 19 percent of all renter households and 8 percent of all owner household fall within the moderate-income category. In evaluating by family type, as shown in Table 2, large family renters were found to have a disproportionate number of moderate-income households, with 29 percent of all large households falling within this income category as compared to 19 percent of total renter households falling in this category. Additionally, the proportion of moderate-income elderly homeowners, 25 percent, significantly exceeds the percent of low-income homeowners for the City as a whole, 8 percent. COST BURDEN Table 6 shows that the majority of all moderate-income households, 69 percent, are cost burdened, with 83 percent of all moderate-income renters and 56 percent of all moderate-income owners being cost burdened. Table 5 indicates that moderate-income renter households have a greater incidence of being cost burdened, 15.6 percent, than any other income category as do owner households, at 4.4 percent. When evaluating based upon family type, it is found that large- renter households are disproportionately burdened. The largest propo_rtion of burdened, large- renter families fall within this category with 24.8 percent cost burdened. A much smaller proportion of low-income households have a severe housing cost burden. Table 6 indicates that 25 percent of all moderate-income households are severely cost burdened with 19 percent of moderate-income renters and 31 percent of moderate-income owners severely cost burdened. OVERCROWDING Based upon family type, it was found that large renter-occupied families are disproportionately represented with 35.6 percent in overcrowded situations as compared to 14.5 percent of total moderate renter-occupied households. 18 SUBSTANDARD CONDITION In consideration of substandard housing, it is estimated in a later portion of this document, Table 20, that 88 percent of all substandard housing was occupied by lower-income households and that 824 low-income rental units and 547 low-income owner units were substandard. It is estimated that 83 percent of these units, 684 rental units and 454 owner occupied units, are suitable for rehabilitation. Table 10 and Table 12 provides further analysis on the number of households experiencing a housing problem in 1990. A majority, or 73 percent, of all moderate-income, owner and renter households experienced some form of housing problem, as defined in the earlier section. This is a significant proportion when compared to the City as a whole, in which 42 percent of all households experience a housing problem. In evaluating the incidence of housing problems by ethnicity, Table 8 indicates that minority owner households have a significantly greater incidence of housing problems, 85 percent, when compared to moderate-income owner households as a whole, 59.3 percent. For renter households there is no appreciable difference in proportion of households experiencing housing problems by ethnicity. MINORITY REPRESENTATION In evaluating the percentage of households with some type of housing problem, as shown in Table 8, 85 percent of minority homeowners have some type of housing problems, as compared to 59 percent of moderate-income homeowners as a whole. Middle Income (81-95 Percent) INCOME Approximately 7 percent of all households in the City were determined to be middle income in 1990, with 9.6 percent of all renters and 5.3 percent of all owners in this group. FAMILY TYPE/TENANCY Table 3 provides a distribution of family type by income and tenure. Analysis of this table indicates that there does not appear to be a significant over representation by any family group. However, elderly renter households show a decreased proportion for the first time, as 78 percent of all elderly renter households had incomes below 80 percent of the median. COST BURDEN In considering cost burden, a review of Table 5 and Table 6 shows that a slight majority, 60 percent, of all middle-income households experienced a housing cost burden. When evaluated by tenancy, it is found that 51 percent of all renters and 66 percent of all owners experienced a housing cost burden. 19 When evaluating severe cost burden, the proportion of households in this category is significantly less with the exception of "other" households, with 47 percent of rental households and 28 percent of owner households experiencing severe cost burden. Based on family type, the proportion of elderly renters is significant when compared to the total households in this category as shown in Table 5. OVERCROWDING Unfortunately it is not possible to assess overcrowding in middle-income families as this data is not provided in the Census or CHAS tables. However, it is interesting to note, based on an analysis of Table 7 and CHAS Databook Table 8, that there were an estimated 959 overcrowded rental households of which 52 percent are in the extremely low, low, or moderate income categories. That leaves an additional 461 households or 48 percent of the overcrowded households which fall in the middle or other income categories. This is similarly true for owner households wherein only 33 percent of the overcrowded households fell in the extremely low, low, and moderate income categories and a whopping 67 percent, 484 households, are in the middle income or above categories. One explanation for this may be the increased number of extended families that are living together, particularly the situation where adult children move back home as they are unable to afford the cost of housing on their own. SUBSTANDARD CONDITION For the purpose of estimating the number of substandard units in the City, in an earlier section the assumption was made that all substandard units were occupied by extremely low, low, and moderate income households. Therefore, it is estimated that there are no middle income substandard units. In evaluating the proportion of middle income households that are experiencing housing problems, as shown in Table 6, it was found that the majority of renters, 61 percent, and owners, 69 percent, have some type of housing problem. Large, renter-occupied families had the greatest proportion of housing problems, while elderly, renter households had the fewest. While the total number of households in the middle-income category experiencing a housing problem, (66 percent) is significantly less when compared with extremely low, low, and moderate income households, it is still higher than the 42 percent of total households in the City. MINORITY REPRESENTATION In assessing the needs of middle-income households, Table 2 (c) indicates that Naive Americans have the largest percentage of households in the moderate income category, 11 percent, with Hispanic households having the next largest proportion at 8 percent, as compared to the City as a whole, 7 percent. Unfortunately, very little other data is provided on the distribution of minority households within the middle-income category. 2O Individuals with Disabilities and Persons with HIV/AIDS Actual statistical data and information on things such as income, cost burden, and overcrowding concerning those with disabilities and HIV/AIDS is not available. However, assumptions may be made that a large proportion in these categories fall in the extremely low, low, and moderate income categories and are, therefore, likely to have problems with cost burden and substandard housing. THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMELESSNESS In the last two years, a total of three surveys have been prepared with the purpose of determining the number of homeless individuals in the west end regional area. Two of the surveys were prepared by the San Bernardino County Homeless Coalition, in February and November of 1992, while the third was conducted by the Center for Community Affairs of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, in May of 1993. Methodology and resulting data varies between surveys; however, they do serve to provide a snapshot of the homeless population at various periods of time and together probably provide a pretty good indication of the character of the population in this area. The San Bernardino County Homeless Coalition is organized into seven local coordinating groups. The West End Coordinating group encompasses the immediate regional area and includes the following communities: Chino, Chino Hills, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and Upland. Their first survey was conducted on February 13, 1992, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Unfortunately, in the week before the survey was taken, the area experienced extensive rainfall and it was felt that the number of homeless were undercounted as many of the areas where they typically congregate were flooded. However, although the number of homeless identified may have been low for the County as a whole, 2,801 persons, the numbea, of homeless counted in Rancho Cucamonga was a fairly significant 156 individuals. As a result of their concerns about an undercount, the Coalition conducted a second survey in November 1992. This survey occurred over a three-day period. Again, the Coalition experienced a problem during the survey in this area in that they did not have enough volunteers available to obtain an accurate count. While the number of homeless identified in the County was greater than in the previous survey, 3,081, the count for Rancho Cucamonga was significantly lower with 39 persons. The third survey conducted over several weeks through the California Polytechnic University Pomona under the direction of Sidney Blumner Ph.D. was completed in May of 1993. Teams of students conducted the interviews. In order to attempt to avoid double-counting, the interviewers would ask those interviewed if they had answered a similar survey in the last two weeks. Additionally, the area covered differed from the first two in that Pomona was included and Chino Hills was not. A total of 329 persons were interviewed of which 25 were from Rancho Cucamonga. 21 Table 9 summarizes the comparable results of these three surveys for the west end region as well as for the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

In assessing the data in Table 9, it is immediately apparent that the numi~er of males far outweighs the number of females who are identified as homeless. It is interesting that the Cal Poly Survey identifies an even much larger proportion of males to females. Reasons for this may have been that the May 1993 survey was primarily conducted on the street and not in feeding centers. Also, that the students may not have been able to easily identify homeless females as opposed to males. The proportion of males is consistently higher in Rancho. Cucamonga than in the West End Region. This is reflective of the fact that the western section of Arrow Route in the City has historically been a draw for day laborers who congregate daily in specific locations along this route. This would also explain the fact that the survey results show a larger proportion of Hispanic individuals in Rancho Cucamonga as compared to the West End. However, it should be noted that since this survey was last taken, the City has passed an anti-loitering law that has significantly reduced the numbers of individuals that are seen on the streets. Of real concern is the number of children identified as being homeless; at least 35 percent of those who were surveyed in the West End were under the age of 18. This data appears to be generally consistent for the two Homeless Coalition surveys. The May 1993 survey found a lower incidence of the numbers of children, 8 percent between the ages of 10 and 20. This would seem to be consistent with the fact that families with children would be less likely to be on the street rather than in a shelter environment. Of even greater concern, however, is the proportion of 23 these children who are not in school. Of the respondents answering this question, it was found that 19 to 26 percent or more of the children between the ages of 5 and 18 are not in school, with the percentage as high as 33 percent in Rancho Cucamonga's November survey results. Table 10 provides a summary of the number of individuals assisted through the area's homeless shelters and facilities. In comparing this data with information on available shelters and facilities provided in Table 10, it is clear that the number of persons in need far outweighs the available shelter capacity in this area. Needs of Sheltered and Unsheltered Homeless In evaluating the extent of the population which is sheltered vs unsheltered, survey results tended to vary, with the May survey indicating a large proportion of homeless who are unsheltered whereas the Homeless Coalition surveys indicated a larger proportion of sheltered individuals. Of interest is that the number of persons staying with relatives or friends is fairly large in all cases, but especially in Rancho Cucamonga. Additionally, in all surveys the number of individuals without shelter, whether sleeping in cars, vacant buildings, or outside is fairly high and appears to be slightly higher in Rancho Cucamonga than the West End as a whole. There may be several explanations for this. One, the fact that the South end of the City has a large Hispanic population and historically has served as a draw for day laborers, many of whom are recent illegal immigrants looking for work and to relocate in this country. As a result, there may have been a large proportion of transient males in the area looking for work and shelter. Secondly, is the fact that there are relatively few organized shelter programs in the area and none located within Rancho Cucamonga. Of the shelters operating in the area, those that offer extended length of stay or support services generally limit assistance to family households, while emergency shelters generally operate on a first come first serve basis. Also, it has been generally found that more _women with children and families will seek shelter assistance. Verbal information from service providers indicate that fewer Hispanic individuals will seek shelter assistance because they often have a family or community network to rely on. Table 10 provides a summary of area shelters and facilities available in the region. Subpopulations Evaluating reasons for homelessness may give an indication of the various subpopulations. This information is tabulated in Table 7 for the west end region. The three most significant factors cited were job loss, eviction, and alcohol/drug abuse. Table 10, presents an analysis of family types and subpopulations of individuals utilizing the available shelters and services in this area. Additionally, it should be noted that the nature of the population reported is dependent upon the philosophy and practices of the particular shelter provider. For example, the Pomona Valley Council of Churches and the Foothill Family Shelter tends to provide transitional shelter services to two parent families with children. In fact, a significant proportion of those assisted through area shelters were identified as single parent or two parent families with children. It is only in more long standing, front line organizations that appear to assist a larger proportion of single individuals and even in that case the number of women assisted tends to outweigh the number of males. 24 Surprisingly few of the shelter facilities identified that they assist populations with significant problems such as Mentally Ill, Alcohol and Drug problems, or AIDS. The most significant proportion identified were women fleeing domestic violence. Rural Homeless/Farmworkers According to the 1990 Census, there were 357 persons working in farming, forestry, and fishing occupations, or less than 1 percent of the 50,963 total employed persons living in the City. There is no information with which to desegregate farmworkers from the above listed occupations. Based on the absence of agricultural production in the City, it is assumed that there are very few individuals dependent upon such jobs. Citrus and vineyard agriculture was already in decline at the time of the City's incorporation in 1977. There is no agricultural zone in the City. As a consequence of the small population and rapidly declining agricultural production, no statistical need for housing has been identified for rural homeless or farmworkers. Needs of Persons Threatened With Homelessness In reality, given some instances of bad luck, many persons are at risk of becoming homeless. Especially in these current times with the economic recession and high unemployment rate, more persons than ever are coming closer to the risk of homelessness. For the purposes of this discussion, the at-risk population is defined as renter households with incomes below 30 percent of the area median income and paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing with no support network such as the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. As discussed in the earlier section on extremely low income needs, it was identified in Table 1 that a total of 9 percent of all renter households and 3 percent of all owner-occupied households were in worst case situations with incomes below 30 percent of the area median. Table 6 indicates that 78 percent of all extremely low income households have a housing cost burden greater than 30 percent. In evaluating by tenancy, it is shown that 83 percent of all extremely low income renters, or 1,548 households, have a housing cost burden. It is this group in particular that is most in need of affordable rental housing. Unfortunately, housing for persons in this income bracket is limited, because of the large subsidies needed to bring rents down to affordable levels. The need for housing for persons at this income level will only continue to increase as new low paying, service-oriented retail and industrial sector jobs are added to the City's economy. As a result, much of the Redevelopment Agency's 20 Percent Set Aside monies will be utilized toward providing affordable housing units in the City for persons at this income level. HOMELESS POPULATIONS AND SUBPOPULATIONS TABLE The information provided in Table 10a was based on the last survey conducted in May of 1993. It is obvious in looking at the data that the majority of those surveyed were individuals available in the street. As a note, those individuals who indicated that they were staying with friends, relatives, or in motels were identified as staying in Emergency Shekers. A review of Table 10 will provide an evaluation of the numbers and make-up of the homeless population in shelter situations. 26 Populations with Special Needs Other Than Homeless As discussed in the prior section which provided an inventory on the supportive housing for non- homeless persons with special needs, information for the Consolidated Plan was gathered by using extensive mail and phone surveys. Numerous State, County, and local organizations were also contacted to obtain information on the number of persons with special needs. A listing of agencies and persons contacted in provided is Appendix B of this document. It should be noted that in many cases it was possible to estimate the number of households or individuals in a particular category; however, reliable estimates of the numbers who need supportive housing is not generally available. ELDERLY AND FRAIL ELDERLY Based on the analysis conducted above, a large proportion of the elderly population in the City is in need, whether economically or through some type of dependency. The 1990 Census identified a total of 5,082 persons over the age of 65 in Rancho Cucamonga. According to National percentages, approximately 14.4 percent of all seniors, 73 1 individuals, are considered frail elderly, defined as having at least one Activity of Daily Living (ADL) limitation. A total of 433 elderly renter households and 646 owner households have been identified as requiring some type of housing assistance. Therefore, it is estimated that 63 of these lower-income, renter households and 93 owner households are frail elderly in need of assistance. Further discussion of both the elderly and frail elderly will be provided based on survey results obtained by staff. Most agencies surveyed did not specifically differentiate services between the elderly and frail elderly. Only one agency, the Pomona Valley Community Center indicated that they specifically assisted frail elderly individuals. It appears that there are a significant number of elderly and frail elder_ly individuals in the City who are receiving various services from area organizations. The Social Security Department indicates that approximately 509 individuals are currently receiving benefits. One agency, Fraize Institute indicated that they actually provided supportive emergency housing specifically for seniors. Two area agencies provide services to help the elderly and frail elderly remain independent. In 1993, Rolling Starts, which provides referral in-home care and other related types of services, assisted a total of 8,000 individuals of which approximately 800 were from Rancho Cucamonga. The Pomona Valley Community Center, which provides assistance to the frail elderly to help keep them in their homes, assisted approximately 250 persons in 1993 of which 30 were from Rancho Cucamonga. Finally, the Agewise Program, which provides mental health services to the elderly, assisted 500 persons throughout San Bernardino County, of which 75 were from Rancho Cucamonga. Demographics clearly show that the elderly population in need is rapidly increasing, because of the fact that the population is generally aging and that people are living longer. The needs of the elderly are related to four main issues: Income: People over 65 are usually retired and live on a fixed income. Health Care: Elderly generally have a higher rate of illness and dependency. Transportation: Many seniors use public transportation; however, a significant number of elderly have disabilities and require alternative means of transport. 27 Housing: Many elderly live alone and rent. Those that live in their own homes may be unable to take care of routine maintenance and repairs. The housing needs of the elderly and persons with disabilities who required supportive services include, in addition to architectural design features, access to health care, grocery stores, pharmacies, and a convenient economical means of transportation. Housing programs available to help the City's elderly include rehabilitation assistance through the Home Improvement Program, continued enforcement of the City's Senior Housing Overly Zone and it's provisions, as well as possible development of future senior housing through the Redevelopment Agency's 20 Percent Set Aside Funds. DISABLED General National estimates indicate that 1 percent of the adult population meets the definition of severe mental illness on the basis of diagnosis, duration, and disability. This indicates that approximately 1,126 Rancho Cucamonga residents have a severe mental disability. The nationally accepted percentage of the population which can be categorized as developmentally disabled is 1 to 3 percent. This figure is published by the Association for Retarded Citizens. Thus, between 1,126 and 3,378 individuals in Rancho Cucamonga are developmentally disabled. An estimated 6,740 Rancho Cucamonga residents had work, mobility, or self-care disabilities in 1990. If the estimated numbers of these populations that are mentally or developmentally disabled are subtracted from the total estimated disabled population, then between 4,488 and 2,236 individuals probably have some type of physical disability. _ Of the agencies located in the City's service area, only one facility was identified as providing housing to a specific group, the State facility Lanternman Developmental Services, located in Pomona, which provides assistance to developmentally disabled individuals only. They have approximately 1,002 beds and provided assistance to 35 new cases last year. Of the three remaining responding agencies surveyed, none provided supportive housing, but did provided support and referral services to other housing providers. The Rancho Cucamonga Counseling Services provided mental health counseling to approximately 4,908 individuals in San Bernardino County last year. The State Department of Rehabilitation provided job training and placement services to approximately 1,000 disabled persons in the West End region last year, and the West End Special Education Program provided educational assistance to approximately 9,800 persons in San Bernardino County of which 257 were from Rancho Cucamonga. From a housing perspective, there are three different types of disabled persons with varying housing needs: 1) the developmentally disabled, 2) the physically disabled, and 3) the mentally disabled. These three groups, especially their low-income members, often share a common housing need during the restoration process from a serious disability. This may range from 28 requiring institutional care to facilities allowing for partial or complete independence. This need is first to have a transitional group quarters which includes on-site professional or paraprofessional support. The second common need is to have very low or low-cost housing into which to move when the individual no longer requires institutional or group support. Social Service professionals interviewed agree that of these two housing needs, the need for low-income housing is the most urgent. Housing needs of the disabled are further compounded by design and location requirements which may be more costly. Special needs of households with wheelchair-bound or semi- ambulatory individuals for example, may require ramps, holding bars, special bathroom designs, wider doorways, lower cabinets, and elevators. 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. Accessible housing may also be provided through senior housing developments. PERSONS WITH ALCOHOL OR OTHER DRUG ADDICTIONS The San Bernardino Office of Alcohol and Drugs indicated that 1 out of every 10 persons will become an alcohol or drug abuser. An estimated 11,259 individuals are estimated to have a drug and/or alcohol problem in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Consistent with the potentially large number of individuals in the population that may have drug or alcohol problems, the number of service agencies and shelter beds to assist persons with alcohol and/or drug abuse far outnumber those available to other special needs groups. The list of the agencies available is provided in Appendix D. Affordable housing opportunities for individuals whose lives have been overwhelmed by their addictions as well as early intervention treatment continues to be important to prevent those in the worst cases from becoming homeless. PERSONS DIAGNOSED WITH AIDS OR RELATED DISEASES The Inland AIDS Project, which is located in Montclair, indicated that they assisted a total of 934 people in 1993 of which 19 were from Rancho Cucamonga. A total of 16 individuals from Rancho Cucamonga were assisted in 1994. Overall, the number of clients has steadily increased from previous years, with the caseload increasing 825 percent since 1989. Altogether, a total of 70 AIDS cases have been reported in this City since 1983. With the growing rate of reported cases of persons with AIDS/HIV there is an increasing need for housing and related services for these people. The Inland AIDS Project states that affordable housing for persons living with g/AIDS is a "priority requirement" as over 80 percent of their clients are SSL/SSP recipients who receive approximately $603/month (effective September 1993), and that, in general, housing of all types continues to be a major problem. 29 FEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDS Since 1980, there has been a significant increase in the number of single parent families, up from 5.9 percent of all households in 1980 to 9.2 percent in 1990. The number of female-headed, single parent households, 7 percent, far exceeds the number of male-headed, single parent households, 2.2 percent; although the proportions in both categories have increased. In 1980, 1.3 percent of single- parent households were male while 4.6 percent were female. The income levels of single parents, whether male or female, generally fall below the area median income with females being significantly lower. The mean income in 1989 of a male head of household, without a spouse but with children, was $34,781, while the mean income for female head of household, without a spouse but with children, was $27,813. The median income for the Riverside/San Bernardino area was $37,273, while the median income for the City was $46,193. The mean income for the City was $51,841. In addition to female-headed, single-parent households generally earning a lower income, a larger proportion of these homeholds have incomes below poverty level. Of the single parent families with related children under the age of 18, 65 male households, or 9.9 percent, are below poverty level, while 384 female headed households, or 18.8 percent, are below poverty level. LARGE FAMILIES Large families are comprised of five or more persons. These families represent a homing concern became of both the difficulty in finding adequate-sized homing units and the resulting high costs associated with these larger units. These large families suffer disproportionately from overcrowding and an inability to pay. In 1980, there were approximately 2,723 large families representing 16 percent of the City's households. Of these 84 were renter-occupied units. As shown in Table 11, the overall proportion of large families has decreased slightly since 1980 from 16 percent to 15.1 percent in 1990. However, the share of large families in renter occupied units has increased significantly from 3.1 percent in 1980 to 11.2 percent in 1990. The increase in renter-occupied units is probably because of the increased availability of rental units. Table 11 NUMBER AND PERCENT OF LARGE FAMILIES BY TENURE FOR 1980 AND 1990 Owner Occupied Renter Occupied TOTAL Source: 1980 and 1990 Census 1980 CENSUS Number Percent 2,639 18.4 84 3.1 2,723 I 16.0 1990 CENSUS Number 3,971 1,123 5,094 Percent 16.8 11.2 15.1 3O PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENTS Residents qualifying for public housing are low income, paying more than 50 percent of their income for housing, or are living in substandard units. These individuals are at significant risk for homelessness. Often, the receipt of housing subsidies are not adequate to ensure that these individuals will be able to obtain permanent housing on their own at some future date. Additional supportive services should be provided to assist individuals in many areas including job training, budgeting, and home maintenance. The Housing Authority of San Bernardino County provides programs as possible, such as resident training and family self sufficiency. As of July 1, 1994, there were 11 public housing households in the City and 195 Section 8 residents. There is a significant waiting list for both programs, 150 for public housing and 166 for Section 8, indicating a significant need for extremely low income housing LEAD BASED PAINT HAZARDS As mandated in Title X, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, jurisdictions are required to identify and consider preventative measures to remove lead hazards. According to HUD in their Technical Assistance Bulletin 1, those typically at greatest risk for lead poisoning are lower income families with children in older rental properties that are poorly maintained. Table 12 indicates the number of lower income renter and owner occupied units that are estimated to have lead-based paint. It should be noted that the presence of lead-based paint is of itself not a hazard, unless the paint is in poor condition. However, it does present a latent or potential problem that may, at some future time, be released and cause harm. Table 12 ESTIMATED INCIDENCE OF LEAD BASED PAINT BY TENANCY AND INCOME Number of Low and Moderate Estimated Number of Households Tenure Income Households with Lead-Based Paint Renter 1,469 974 Owner 1,214 772 TOTAL 2,683 1,746 Source: CHAS Databook Table 9, 1990 Census 31 There were a total of 36, 117 housing units in Rancho Cucamonga in 1990. It is estimated that 4.8 percent of all housing units in the City have lead-based paint present. Of occupied rental units, 9.7 percent are estimated to have lead-based paint, whereas 3.3 percent of all owner occupied units are estimated to have lead-based paint. Table 13 provides a breakdown of the number of units by age that are available to low income families that are estimated to have lead-based paint. The majority of the units fall in the age category from 1960 to 1979 and it is possible that many of these units are still in good condition and, therefore, do not present an immediate hazard.

These two agencies coordinate efforts to identify, treat, and assist lower income fimilies. The CHDP was funded in November of 1991. During 1994, 10 cases of lead poisoning of 10ug/dl were identified in Rancho Cucamonga. Nine of those cases occurred in zip code 9 1730 and one was reported in zip code 91701. Programs provided through this agency are available to children whose families are on welfare or have incomes within 200 percent of the poverty level. CHDP works with 21 area physicians as part of a physician referral program for blood testing. If a child is identified with an elevated blood lead level (10ug/dl or gr~/ater) CHDP provides follow-up, treatment, education, and information. If a child has two blood draws that are over 15ug/dl then CHDP investigates the home. Samples are taken and results are sent to the homeowner along with a list of individuals to contact to abate the problem. If a child has a blood lead level over 20ug/dl then they are referred to California Children's Services, (CCS), who then provide case management. 32 MARKET AND INVENTORY CONDITIONS HOUSING MARKET SLIMMARY Housing Mix In 1990, 70 percent of the housing stock was owner occupied. Multi-family housing increased from 17 percent of the total housing stock in 1980 to 30 percent in 1990, with the largest increase in housing with five or more units; an increase from 775 units in 1980 to 5,471 in 1990. Vacancy The vacancy rate was identified at 7.5 percent in 1990, up from 4.8 percent in 1980. The vacancy rate was higher, 14.9 percent, for multi-family units with five or more units. This may be because of lag time for absorption of newly constructed units. Bedroom Mix 84 percent of all owner-occupied units have three or more bedrooms, while only twenty- eight percent of rental units have three or more bedrooms. In 1990, 177 rental units and 311 homeowner three bedroom units were identified as being available to extremely low and low income households. Housing Availability There is an inadequate supply of small size (1-2 bedroom) owner units for small owner households. There is a demand for 5,144 units. There is a limited supply of large rental units. In 1990, there was a demand for 1,298 units. Age of Housing Stock 56 percent of the City's housing stock has been built since 1979, with 95 percent built since 1960. Individual older units are scattered throughout the City with a few concentrations in areas designated as low income target areas as well; North Town, Southwest Cucamonga, and Monte Vista Street. Housing Cost Ownership housing costs have declined significantly in the last five years. While reliable data is difficult to obtain, TRW monthly housing price comparisons indicate a 6 percent price decrease for this period. Interest rates have declined dramatically, increasing housing affordability and stimulating sales. Rental housing costs have remained flat, or have possibly declined in the last four years. 33 Housing Affordablity A total of 663 renter and 829 owner occupied units were available to extremely low and low income homeowners in 1990. There is an inadequate supply of housing available to extremely low and low income households. There was a demand for 2,371 units affordable to these income levels in 1990. Assisted Housing There are 11 assisted multi-family units, with a total of 906 assisted units available as of February 1995. The Housing Authority of San Bernardino has 16 scattered site public housing units in the City. As of July 1, 1994, there were 195 Section 8 participants in the City. As of July 1, 1994 there were 150 residents on the waiting list for public housing and 166 residents on the waiting list for Section 8 housing. There are 46 residents on the City's Home Improvement Waiting list for single family rehabilitation assistance and 27 residents on the mobile home rehabilitation waiting list TargetAreas There are six identified low income target areas in the City. Five areas qualified based on the 1990 Census and the quartile method. The sixth area was qualified based on a special survey. Barriers and Constraints to Housing The majority of significant constraints on the production of affordable housing are because of non-governmental constraints such as the lack of available financing, employment reductions, land costs, and market absorption. ' 34 GENERAL MARKET AND INVENTORY Tenure, Type, and Size of Units Housing growth in the City more than doubled, (123 percent) between 1980 and 1990. Rental housing in general has increased 290 percent over the ten year period as compared to an 89 percent increase in owner occupied housing in the same time period. Table 14 illustrates the distribution of owner-and renter-occupied housing units by housing type as reported in the 1980 and 1990 Census. While owner-occupied housing accounts for the majority of the City's housing stock, the amount of owner-occupied housing has decreased from 83 percent in 1980 to 70 percent in 1990. This change has occurred became of the increase in the amount of multi-family housing stock. In particular, rental housing with five or more units increased from 30.1 percent in 1980 to 54.7 percent in 1990.

In 1990, the vacancy rate for buildings with two or five or more units was significantly higher than for other unit types. These higher rates may have been caused by a lag for market absorption of newly constructed units. Additionally, there is concern that adequate care was not taken to verify the occupancy status of every unit in the larger apartment complexes at the time the Census was taken. Ideally, the renter occupied vacancy rate should be 5.0 percent and the owner occupied rate should be 2.0 percent.

As indicated in Table 16, there is an inadequate supply of small size (1-2 bedroom) owner units for small owner households. While some small size households may choose to reside in larger units, they may be overextending themselves financially. On the other hand, larger renter households face overcrowding because of the limited supply of large renter units. 36 Table 16 HOUSING AVAILABILITY Persons Per HH Number of Households Number Number of Units Difference between of Households & Bdrms Units Owner Renter Owner Renter Owner Renter 1 2,802 2,623 0-1 612 3,965 -2,190 + 1,342 2 6,282 2,988 2 3,328 4,114 -2,954 + 1,126 3 + 14,554 4,386 3 + 20,610 3,088 + 6,056 -1,298 Source: CHAS Data Book Table 3 and 1990 Census Number of Bedrooms Table 17 provides information on the number of bedrooms by unit type within the City. Approximately 66.3 percent of all units have three or more bedrooms. However, when examining by unit type, 84 percent of all owner units have three bedrooms while only 28 percent of rental units have 3 or more bedrooms. Of the remaining rental units, there is almost an even split between the number of one and two bedroom units. Age of Housing Stock Table 18 shows that approximately 56 percent of all housing units in the City were built after 1979, with 95 percent of all units built since 1960. As a result, the general condition of the City's housing stock is good and as long, as it is properly maintained, should continue to provide adequate housing. Map 3 illustrates the distribution of the City's housing stock by age as based on 1980 Census Block Groups. Concentrations of housing stock in age categories from 1975 or earlier are typically located in specific areas, however, there are individual older units scattered throughout the City. The area with a concentration of units built prior to 1939 is also in an area that has a high concentration of minority, low income residents. 37 CHAS Table 1 B arket & Inventory Conditions City of Rancho Cucamonga A.

While it is not possible to determine the number of units that meet this criteria exactly, the number of units may be estimated by evaluating specific factors that would indicate that a unit does not meet the above criteria. 39 In determining the number of units that are substandard, it was assumed that all substandard units are occupied by low and moderate income households. Factors used in the assessment included the estimated incidence of lead based paint, lack of complete plumbing facilities, lack of complete kitchen facilities, lack of any heating fuel, and units that were vacant and boarded up. These amounts were then divided into estimated categories of renter versus owner and low and moderate income. Table 20 provides the summary assessment of each of the factors listed above.

Additionally, more than one substandard factor may be present in a single residence; however, because of the inability to cross tabulate this data, each incidence is counted as a separate unit. Therefore, it is possible that the estimate provided is higher than the actual number of substandard units in the City. 4O In order to estimate the number of units which are substandard but suitable for rehabilitation, the same proportion was used that had been used previously in the City's Housing Assistance Plan (HAP), 83 percent. It is estimated that 1,701 units are suitable for rehabilitation while 349 units are not. The definition of those units that are substandard but suitable for rehabilitation is that the value of the improvements will not exceed 80 percent of the loan to value ratio of the unit, with exceptions possible in the case of an historically significant structure. Cost of Housing Housing cost is often the largest cost burden on a household. Therefore, housing cost in a community can have a significant impact on the ability of its residents to afford adequate housing opportunities. OWNERSHIP HOUSING COSTS Housing prices in the City and surrounding region continue to decline, but reliable data for the City and the region is not available. For example TRW occasionally publishes "most recent month data." For the month of January 1989, sales of new and resale of single-family detached and attached homes in the City averaged $170,927. For January 1994, the average price was $161,356. This small sample indicates a 6 percent price decrease for the five year period. Figures released by TRW for May 1994 set the median home price at $127,294, indicating a 34 percent price decrease for the same period. Perhaps even more important, home prices for all ZIP codes within the City are still declining. In addition to housing cost, interest rates have a direct impact on the affordability of home ownership. Interest rates for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage hit a low of 6.74 percent in October 1993, but by June 1, 1994, 30 year rates had risen to 8.5 percent. These are conditions that stimulate home sales. In the first half of 1994, home sales increased, responding to rising interest rates. RENTAL HOUSING COSTS As with ownership housing, rental housing has not risen significantly in the last three years and, in fact, may be less in some cases. In January of 1990, and again in March of 1993, the City's Planning Division conducted a survey of 32 rental projects.. The results of those surveys are presented in Table 21. For both bachelor and 1 bedroom units the upper range of each rent category has been reduced. In the remaining categories there have been increases, but none over $55. When compared with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Fair Market Rent Schedule for the Riverside-San Bernardino PMSA for 1993, upper end rents in Rancho Cucamonga are generally higher, although, Fair Market Rents do fall within the rent ranges for each type of unit. The result of this is that individuals in the HUD voucher programs may have some difficulty finding qualifying units in the City. 42 Table 21 CITY APARTMENT SURVEY SLIMMARY RENT RANGE AND FAIR MARKET RENT COMPARISON 1980-1990 Unit Type January 1990 Survey 1990 FMR March 1993 Survey 1993 FMR Bachelor 4 10-595 430-250 470 1 bdrm/1 bath 450-725 494 460-700 555 2 bdrms/1 bath 550-750 577 530-850 647 2 bdrms/2 baths 565-795 570-850 3 bdrms/2 baths 625-975 750 760-1,025 838 Source: City of Rancho Cucamonga planning Division Availability of Housing to Lower Income Households Table 22 below, identifies those units available to various lower-income categories, as based on the annual contract rent or mortgage at the time of the 1990 Census. As can be seen, there were relatively few units available to extremely low and low income households and even fewer three bedroom units available. This indicates that the lower-income, large families may have a difficult time finding adequate housing that will not result in a significant cost burden. ' However, it should be noted that much has changed on the economic scene since 1990 and it is estimated that a larger proportion of the housing stock is available to lower income families.

While the City does have a "surplus" of housing units available to moderate income (51-80 percent), these would more likely benefit those at higher incomes.

However, the numbers presented in this table for the various income groups are not inclusive. Availability of Housing for Those With Special Needs DISABLED Since the 1979 edition, the Uniform Building Code (UBC), Title 24, has required some type of handicap accessibility in multi-unit residential projects. The 1991 UBC, which was adopted by the City in August 1992, requires that all ground floor, single-story units in which there are less than three units per building, make all units handicap accessible. However, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law on July 26, 1993, allows that disabled persons may make reasonable modifications to any rental unit provided that any changes be reversible at the cost of the tenant. 44 Additionally, City staff conducted a survey of 32 apartment complexes in the City to determine the number of existing handicap units by unit type. Of these, six complexes indicated that they did not have any specific units that were accessible to the handicap; most of them were smaller complexes, under 100 units, or they were older units. Of the remaining complexes, managers reported a total of 74 existing handicap accessible units of which 49 were one bedroom, 23 were two bedrooms and 2 were three bedrooms. Most managers appeared to be aware of ADA requirements and indicated that any unit could potentially be available to handicap individuals. ELDERLY/FRAIL ELDERLY There are several facilities in the City that are available to either elderly or frail elderly residents. Of these projects, there are a number of units that are required to be held available to low-income seniors through the requirements of development agreements that were entered into at the time of project approval. The following is a list of these projects and the number of units or spaces available. One option that is available to assist elderly and/or disabled persons remain in their homes is offered through the Oldtimers Foundation, which is a subrecipient agency, through the City's CDBG program. The Oldtimers will provide minor home and emergency repairs on an immediate basis to lower-income individuals and seniors including the installation of handicap ramps and other similar improvements.

However, providing this housing becomes difficult because of the progressive nature of the disease. As it progresses, individuals may no longer be able to work and require subsidized housing. Currently, housing available includes existing conventional housing that may be subsidized by agencies such as Inland Aids Project (IAP) on a short-term basis. Otherwise, IAP has the only designated residential AIDS shelter int he area. As a means of determining the housing needs, the City of Riverside will be using HOPWA funds to conduct a two-county study on housing needs and evaluation long-range solutions to homelessness for persons with HIV and AIDS. FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN Generally, families with children require units with a larger number of bedrooms. In evaluating the number of units identified in the 1990 Census, 28 percent of the occupied rental stock had three or more bedrooms. The City's apartment survey, conducted in March of 1993, found that the rent range for three bedroom units was between $760 and $1,025 a month. The HUD Fair Market Rent for three bedroom units in 1993 was set at $838, which is above the mid-point of the rent range. This indicates that many of these units will be out of the reach of lower income renter families. Table 14, above, indicates that there are relatively few three bedroom units available to low and moderate income renters and owners. Amendments to the Fair Housing Act of 1988 make it illegal to discriminate against persons based on familial status. However, observational information provided by the City's Housing Mediation service provider indicates that covert discrimination may occur against families with children under the guise of such things as occupancy, location, and type of head of household. Families may be restricted to having less than two persons per bedroom. They may be prevented from being allowed to locate on the second floor under the guise of safety with concern over children falling down stain. Managers may also subtly discriminate against a female head of household with children as this is not a traditional family structure. 46 Low Income and Racial/Ethnic Concentrations INCOME The median income of Rancho Cucamonga residents was $46,193 in 1990. In comparison, the median family income of the Riverside-San Bernardino area was $37,273 for 1990. Table 2 illustrates Income Distribution of City Residents by Race and Ethnicity. Approximately 21 percent of all households in the City could be classified as low/moderate income (0-80 percent) in 1989. However, for all racial/ethnic categories other than white, the percentage of low/moderate income residents exceeded that of the City's average, with black residents having the highest percentage of lower income households, (28 percent), followed by Hispanics (27 percent), Asian and Pacific Islanders, (26 percent) and Native Americans, (23 percent). Income distribution and ethnicity can be further considered based upon tenancy as shown in Table 24. The percentage distribution of lower-income households are generally higher for all minority renter households.

Five target area designations are based on the 1990 Census and are shown in Table 25. The sixth, Monte Vista Street, was qualified by special survey. All six areas are identified on Map 2. Areas of low income concentration are defined as those Census Block Groups where the percentage of low income households exceed 33.07 percent (based on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's area median income determination and the quartile method determination). In areas where special surveys are conducted, 51 percent or more of the residents are identified as low income. 47 Table 25 1990 CENSUS BLOCK GROUP AND PERCENT LOW INCOME DISTRIBUTION Census Tract Block Group Percent Low Income 21.00 6 74.75 21.00 3 56.50 20.01 7 48.39~ 21.00 7 36.80 20.01 4 35.06 21.00 2 34.69z Source: Department of Housing and Urban Development, 1990 Census t The City believes that the data gathered for this Census Block Group was an error, and that this area does not in fact qualify as a low-income target area as it is all new large lot development. 2 In accordance with Section 570.208(a)(1)(ii) of the Federal CDBG regulations, concerning the quartile method, all block groups with 33.07% or greater concentration of low-income population are qualified target areas. POVERTY STATUS As of 1989, there were 5,516 persons in the City identified as being below poverty level. This represents 5.6 percent of all persons for whom poverty status has been determined. Of those identified as below poverty level, 41 percent were male and 59 percent were female. Poverty status is defined as the average annual income for a family of four which is below $12,674 in 1989. This is a National figure with no adjustments for regional or cost of living variations. When reviewing poverty status by age and sex, as shown in Figure 1, it is found that for both male and female persons for whom poverty status is determined those between the ages of 0-17 years have a higher proportion of persons below poverty level. It is also found that in all age categories, females have a greater percentage of persons below poverty level with the highest proportion found for women 65 years and older.

Three of these block groups have a concentration of minority residents of over 50 percent. The majority of these block groups have a higher Hispanic concentration. 50 Table 26 MINORITY CONCENTRATION BY CENSUS BLOCK GROUP IN 1990 Total Census Block Minority Percent Percent Percent Percent Percent Tract Group Percent Hispanic Black Indian Asian Other 21.00 6 96 92.0 2.0 1.0 0.9 0.10 20.01 7 89 0.0 81.0' 8.0 0.0 0.00 21.00 7 59 48.0 5.8 1.0 4.0 0.20 22.02 9 46 32.0 11.0 0.2 2.0 0.20 13.02 9 43 30.0 7.0 0.3 2.0 0.00 21.00 2 42 29.0 7.0 0.4 5.0 0.10 21.00 4 42 21.0 16.0 0.5 4.0 0.10 21.00 3 40 29.0 6.0 0.8 4.0 0.00 20.06 2 39 20.0 11.0 0.5 7.0 0.20 20.01 4 39 30.0 3.0 0.3 5.0 0.20 20.01 8 38 21.0 6.0 0.2 11.0 0.20 20.01 3 36 20.0 5.0 0.3 10.5 0.20 20.01 1 35 15.0 9.0 0.3 10.0 0.20 20.01 2 322 19.0 6.0 0.4 6.0 0.40 Source: Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 1990 Census It is believed that dan reported for this Census Block Group was in error and that in fact this area does not have as high a minority concentration as was reported.

LOW/MODERATE INCOME AND MINORITY CONCENTRATION In evaluating the correlation between percent of low/moderate income with percentage of minority concentration, it was found, as shown in Table 27, that every block group with a concentration of low/moderate income residents also had a higher concentration of minority households. This is reflective of the existence of several distinct Hispanic communities in the City.

PUBLIC HOUSING The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino was created and formally organized in July 1941. The Housing Authority is a political entity operating independently from other governmental agencies, whose primary objective is to provide affordable housing for extremely low income rental families within San Bernardino County. In Rancho Cucamonga the Housing Authority's activities involve a Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment Program and a scattered site public housing program. 53 The Housing Authority currently operates 16 scattered-site, public housing units in Rancho Cucamonga. Of these units, there are 2 one-bedroom units, 4 two-bedroom units, 3 three- bedroom units, and 7 four-bedrooms units. Table 28 provides a breakdown of current tenants and applicants who are on the waiting list by unit type and ethnicity. Section 504 needs assessment indicates the need for nine accessible or adaptable units in this geographical area. The Housing Authority has met those needs. The 16 public housing units are stated to be in generally good condition. However, because of the age of many of the units, lead based paint is a concern. The Housing Authority states that they intend to pursue an aggressive program to abate or manage all lead based paint hazards that may exist. Eleven of the units are included in the Housing Authority's 1995 Comprehensive Grant Application. Information on the location of these units is available in the City offices. The Housing Authority does not anticipate the loss of any of these units in the foreseeable future. Currently there are no plans to combine efforts or jointly fund activities that are covered by the Housing Authority's Comprehensive Grant Program. This is primarily because of the fact that the Public Housing units in the City are scattered site single family units and not entire complexes.

The Housing Authority does not anticipate losing any of the units under lease. However, the service population in the Section 8 program is more transitory than that in public housing, and historically there is approximately 5 percent movement. As of July 1, 1994, the allocations were fully leased up and there were no unused vouchers or certificates. It is anticipated that this will be the case in the foreseeable future. Applicant Qualifications and Waiting Lists The waiting list for Section 8 housing contains 6,048 names. Applications for all bedrooms closed December 23, 1989. The list for one bedrooms closed September 15, 1994. The Public Housing waiting list has approximately 3,000 names and remains open. All of the applicants meet at least one of the federal preferences with the most common being that the family or individual is paying more than 50 percent of their income toward rent or are housed in a substandard unit. The San Bernardino County Housing Authority additionally extends preferences to veterans and to residents of the county. 55 Improving Management and Operation of Public Housing Units The Housing Authority has outlined several system-wide improvements that will improve the management and operation of public housing units in Rancho Cucamonga, as well as throughout San Bernardino County, over the next five years. Utilizing improvement monies from the Comprehensive Grant Program, the Housing Authority is planning improvements in the areas of occupancy, maintenance, management and accounting. In order to ensure that public housing goes only to responsible and qualified participants, improvements in leasing procedures are planned. More thorough screening and resident selection mechanisms are being pursued. In addition, the Housing Authority is developing plans to more aggressively make the benefits of public housing known to groups traditionally under served by the program. Specifically low-income families, students, and participants in job training programs. The Housing Authority is also committed to improving the maintenance and support systems currently in place. Improved material controls, work order and job tracking systems, as well as preventative maintenance programs and ongoing employee training, will result in better service to our residents and superiorly maintained units. In the accounting and property management areas, improvements are planned in the areas of rent collections, utilizing a centralized payment system, and ever increasing automation. Every branch office is to be computer linked resulting in more timely information exchanges. Improving the Living Environment of Public Housing Residents Because of the age of many of the units, lead based paint is a concern and a potential danger for the low income families residing in public housing. The Housing Authority will pursue an aggressive program to educate residents and abate or manage any and all lead based paint hazards that may exist. The Housing Authority plans to continue to support and expand the Family Self-Sufficiency program under which participants receive financial incentives and support services as the endeavor to become economically self sufficient. Plans to expand the program to Public Housing residents as well as Section 8 participants are under way. Additional economic opportunities will be offered through an expanded resident employment and training program. Resident employees will be trained in the management and abatement of lead based paint hazards. 56 Additional means with which the Housing Authority will continue to improve the living environment of public housing residents include, in addition ~o strategies to address health and safety issues and social service support, and economic opportunities, security, and customer service. Public Housing resident surveys have consistently identified security as a paramount issue for residents. Improved lighting, additional fencing and security doors and windows are planned for most complexes. Finally, a major focus of the Housing Authorities' Five-Year Plan is a refocusing on customer/resident services. Through improved management systems in maintenance and ongoing staff training, the Housing Authority plans to be a more effective and efficient agency. Improved services, particularly in maintenance, should contribute to an ever improving living environment for residents. OTHER ASSISTED UNITS There are currently 11 multiple-family projects in the City which received assistance through various avenues including the County of San Bernardino Department of Economic and Community Development's Mortgage Revenue Bond Program, State Bond Financing, City of Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency, and HUD. A description of each of these units and the type of affordability control is provided in Table 30 following. The level of assistance of these units is set to benefit low income families earning 80 percent or less of the median income for San Bernardino/Riverside. 57 Z 0~ ~oo ~ ' o~ 0 ~ zao ~i 8 Z 0 0 aaca co 0 i'-, ~ 0 ~ ~Z~O~O ~o- <o~< <o~< A survey of these projects on August 5, 1993, found an average vacancy rate of 2.2 percent. In many cases, projects indicated that they had waiting lists and that any available units would be rented immediately. INVENTORY, FACILITIES, AND SERVICES FOR THE HOMELESS AND PERSONS THREATENED WITH HOMELESSNESS Information concerning facilities and services available to the homeless was obtained by mail and with a follow-up phone survey conducted by the Planning Division. Information obtained from the City of Upland's Special Needs Survey has also been included. Tables 31 and 32 provide a summary of the facilities and services available to Rancho Cucamonga residents. While the majority of the facilities discussed are not located within Rancho Cucamonga, they do provide assistance to its residents. A listing of facilities contacted and their addresses are located in Appendix A. Generally, all of the organizations contacted also provide services to those who are low-income and at risk of becoming homeless. While several organizations provide direct utility assistance, other services, provided includes food distribution and assisting to families on the brink of homelessness by allowing them to direct their available capital into rent and utilities rather than food. Inland Mediation Board assists those at risk of homelessness as well by providing fair housing counseling and landlord/tenant mediation services. Other services generally available include referral, advocacy, counseling, education, training, and job counseling. 60 ::::::::::::: ,;,:,:,:.;.:,:~:!:~:~;!:"1 III III ':':';';':':' III i:i:i:i:i:!:~':i:i:i:i.i:i::::::::::::' :;::;;:;:;::; ......

Source: planning Division Survey August 1993 62 INVENTORY OF SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR NON-HOMELESS PERSONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Information for this section was gathered by staff using extensive phone and mail survey techniques. Numerous State, County, and local organizations were contacted to obtain information on services and facilities for special needs populations. Additionally, the communities of Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, and Upland combined efforts to gather and share information concerning special needs. It should be noted that the majority of organizations and facilities that are discussed below are not, in fact, located within Rancho Cucamonga (service addresses are listed in Appendix B). However, the service areas of these groups are often fairly extensive and encompass at least the west end regional area if not even broader service areas. A listing of the number and type of supportive housing available is provided in the discussion section of each special needs group evaluated. While obtaining information on types of services and facilities, agencies were also queried on their efforts to coordinate services with other agencies. It was found that in addition to working with other federal, state, county, and local jurisdictions, many agencies themselves are interconnected and rely upon one another to provide comprehensive client assistance. An example may include an agency that provides non-housing related services to a special needs population such as the elderly, disabled, or persons with AIDS, and who refers those clients in need of housing assistance to a local homeless service provider such as HOPE or Catholic Charities, who in turn refers clients with special needs to appropriate service providers. No one agency has the capacity to provide complete and comprehensive services and the majority of facilities in the west end regional area are aware of and share assistance and information with one another. Of the agencies contacted, two indicated that they specifically provide assistance to persons leaving hospitals to ensure that they do not become homeless. These two programs include the Homeless Mentally Ill Program and Inland AIDS Project. The following is a discussion of the facilities and services available by identified special needs group. Elderly and Frail Elderly For purposes of this document, the term elderly will be defined as any person over 62 years of age. The definition for frail elderly will be defined as any person over 75 years of age or over 62 years of age and in need of assistance to perform routine activities of daily living such as bathing, eating, etc. A discussion of the services provided to these two groups has been combined as only one of the organizations contacted had a specific program set up to primarily assist the frail elderly. Another problem in evaluation the services was that there is no standard definition used by these agencies. The definition for elderly varied from 55 to 65 years of age and no standard definition for frail elderly was used. 63 A total of six agencies were contacted or responded to the surveys. Of those, only one organization, the Frazie Institute, provides actual supportive housing. The remaining groups provide various forms of assistance, referrals, information, and counseling. The Age Wise program provides mental health services for any person 55 years of age or older. This includes supportive counseling, short-term mental health treatments, and group counseling. They also recruit, train, and supervise 40 older volunteers who act as senior peer counselors and reminiscence visitors. While Age Wise does not provide supportive housing, they do work with other agencies to prevent any of their clients from becoming homeless. Rolling Starts is a program with the main objective of keeping elderly and frail elderly from losing their homes or being institutionalized. Services provided include referrals for in-home care, low-income housing referrals, programs for social security recipients, Life Line (for emergency transportation), and Meals-On-Wheels. The Pomona Valley Community Center provides companionship services for the elderly and frail elderly in that they hire low-income elderly individuals to go into the frail elderly clients homes to assist with daily activities such as shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc. Their objective is to assist seniors to stay in their homes and independent as long as possible. Both the Department of Aging and Adult Services and the Inland Mediation Board provide information and referral assistance. Finally, as mentioned above, the Frazie Institute is the one organization that does provide temporary shelter services for low-income elderly persons who are 65 years of age or older. The Fraize Institute has 25 beds in a group home setting. - Disabled Discussions concerning physically, mentally, and developmentally disabled services and facilities will be included below. Of the organizations responding tO the survey, two provide assistance specifically to mentally ill persons, one to developmentally disabled persons, and two provide assistance to persons will all forms of disabilities. The definitions generally provided by the City in the survey form were as follows: Severely Mentally II1: Persons diagnosed with psychosis and the major affective disorders (e.g., bipolar, major depression, and/or the illness has lasted more than one year). Developmentally Disabled: I.Q. below 70. Physically Disabled: Physically handicapped or have an illness or impairment which impedes their ability to function independently. 64 Both the State of California's Department of Rehabilitation and the West End Special Education programs provide assistance to individuals with all types of disabilities; physical, mental, or developmental. The California Department of Rehabilitation assists individuals by providing intensive job training and job placement services. The West End Special Education Program provides educational services only for persons between the ages of 3 and 22. Services are provided through various school districts in the area. Lanternman Developmental Services provides a residential care facility, which is set up like a hospital with 1,286 beds for developmentally disabled persons. They provide medical attention, self-care assistance and training. They indicated that many of their patients will never be able to live independent lives, so for some Lanternman becomes their permanent home. The Rancho Cucamonga Counseling Services provides mental health services for seriously and persistently ill individuals and natural disaster victims. They provide crisis intervention; individual, group, and family psycho therapy; and partial hospitalization services. The Homeless Mentally Ill Program (HMIP) provides shelter, counseling, medical treatment, and medication for homeless people that are seriously and persistently mentally ill. They provide 60 beds in a group home environment. HMIP also works with the Salvation Army to provide additional shelter when necessary. HMIP also runs a case management program for persons who are returning to the community from a mental institution. The program ensures that their clients are placed in a stable living situation in order to prevent them from becoming homeless again. They also work with the State Department of Rehabilitation to help their clients find employment. The State Department of Social Services documents group homes for the disabled in Rancho Cucamonga based on State Licensing. Each home on the State's list has an indicated preference for the type of disabled person (developmentally, physically, or mentally) to be served and age range. Within the City, there are three small family homes, two of which have indicated a preference for developmentally disabled children between the ages of 0-17, and one with a preference for mentally disabled children. There is one group home identified which assists developmentally disabled children between 0-17. Eight adult residential homes, all serving developmentally disabled individuals between the ages of 18 and 59, are currently operating and two adult day care facilities assisting developmentally disabled adults are operating. Small family homes, group homes, and adult residential homes are able to se.rye up to six individuals, while the two day care facilities may serve up to 30 individuals. A listing of the above-referenced, State- licensed facilities is provided in Appendix C Persons with Alcohol or Other Drug Additions In attempting to obtain information on services and facilities many, organizations were contacted; however, most referred staff back to either the San Bernardino County Office of Alcohol and Drug Program (OADP), or to the Matrix Center. OADP provides such services as detoxification, counseling for adolescents, networking between programs, and education to employees and professionals about signs and symptoms of abuse and available services. OADP also provided a list of detoxification and recovery facilities within San Bernardino County which is reproduced in Appendix D. 65 The Matrix Center, which is located in Rancho Cucamonga, provides outpatient drug and alcohol treatment for one year in which clients are seen on a weekly basis. The center also works with the Homeless Outreach in Ontario to provide assistance to those clients at risk of homelessness. Other services include Bilingual Family Counseling, which provides services to individuals, families, and groups, and Inland Health Services, which provides methadone treatments and counseling. Persons Diagnosed with AIDS or Related Diseases There are two facilities available in the West End service area that provide assistance to persons with ADS or Symptomatic HIV Disease, the Inland AIDS Project and the Foothill AIDS Project. The Foothill ADS Project provides life care services including medical care, food assistance, group counseling, transportation, and in-house services. They do not, however, provide housing assistance. The Inland ADS Project (lAP), provides case management as well as sheker assistance. Clients that are homeless are referred to appropriate community-based resources. Last year, 20 percent of Inland AIDS clients were homeless. lAP also provides a residential AIDS shelter where residents receive home health, social, and mental health services from community providers. The Residential AIDS Shelter is a group residence under contract with the State Office on ADS to provide housing and food to homeless persons with ADS or Symptomatic HIV disease. The facility has eight beds available. Additionally, lAP works closely with hospital discharge planners to ensure that persons with AIDS/HIV who are returning to the community receive appropriate supportive housing in order to prevent homelessness. BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT Non-Governmental Constraints Actual housing production depends heavily on conditions outside the framework of government including regional economic conditions and the housing market. Pre-regional economic recession characterized the period from 1989 to 1994. A period of economic growth is predicted for the second half of the decade. HOUSEHOLD FORMATIONS SCAG (Southern California Association of Governments) predicts that 94 percent of the population growth through the year 2000 will result from a natural increase rather than domestic in-migration or foreign immigration. This shift may result in a larger household size and fewer new households in contrast to housing needs during the preceding three decades. Continuation of a soft housing market through the end of the decade may result. 66 EMPLOYMENT The loss of high-paying defense manufacturing jobs and high unemployment rates have characterized the first half of the decade. However, SCAG predicts that 10,000 new jobs will be created in the City between 1990 and the year 2000. The trend is toward lower paying retail and service sector jobs. MARKET ABSORPTION The City's vacancy rate has hovered above 6 percent since 1990. This rate would be low during a period of rapid housing production. However, in the context of low new housing production rates, it represents high availability of resale houses and slow absorption of new housing units. LAND PRICE AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS Raw land prices have declined substantially since 1989 as a result of the collapse of a period of heated land speculation. Because of the stabilizing influence of large ownerships, land cost is assumed to have remained relatively stable at pre-speculation levels. In the case of lender foreclosures, land cost have fallen lower than in the early 1980s. Construction costs are assumed to have kept pace with the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI has increased approximately 9 percent from 1989 through 1993. FINANCING Financing for raw land purchases is virtually unavailable. Construction financing is tight. Mortgage financing is available but interest rates are beginning to rise,. Consistent with Federal regulations, banks are promoting first-time buyer programs. Under low down payment for first- time buyer programs, monthly payments increase by the amount of mortgage insurance required. HOUSING PRICE Based on newspaper reports, housing prices in the City appear to have decreased 9 percent from 1989 through 1993, primarily reflecting a correction of land costs. PUBLIC OPINION Public opinion influences affordable housing locations and tenure. In the City, the public supports a variety of affordable, market-rate owner projects, including small lot developments, single-family attached housing, and first-time buyer loan programs. 67 Governmental Constraints An analysis of government regulations and policies in the City indicate that regulations in force are necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the community and, for the most part, are not an undue constraint on development. The City's zoning and development standards encourage a wide range of housing types, including single and multi-family, rental and ownership, and mobile homes. The resulting range of development scenarios increase the opportunities for residential development. BUILDING CODES AND ENFORCEMENT The City of Rancho Cucamonga has adopted, by reference, the State Uniform Administrative, Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, Housing, Building Security, Uniform Sign, and Abatement for Dangerous Buildings Codes. These codes are considered to be the minimum necessary to protect the public's health, safety, and welfare. Additional standards, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13D and 13R, have been adopted requiring that all new residential dwellings be constructed with an installed sprinkler system. This has been required in order to protect the public's health, safety, and welfare and is not considered an unnecessary constraint to housing. In addition to the standard code enforcement practices, the City encourages the preservation of significant historic structures through application of the State's Historic Building Code, Title 24, Part 8, of the California Administrative Code, which permits the use of original or archaic materials in reconstruction. The City's housing stock is generally in good condition because only 13.4 percent was constructed before 1970. However, for those structures which do need repair, the City enforces those standards and regulations which ensure reasonable and adequate-life safety but allows the exercise of judgement in the application of standards and regulations as permitted in the code so as to not unduly penalize older dwellings that were built under less demanding standards. PERMIT PROCESSING The City has implemented a series of actions to streamline the permit application process. The goal is to shorten the optimum processing time by 25 percent for all development, including residential projects. FEES AND EXACTIONS Fees and exactions on new development by the City and other agencies, including school and water districts, have increased an estimated 41 percent during the last five years. The increase reflects the higher cost of new infrastructure. Because land costs have declined as much as 50 percent during the same period, the actual price of new housing has decreased approximately 9 percent. 68 City fee schedules are reviewed and adopted annually. The methodologies to support fees and exactions are reviewed periodically. Fees and exactions ensure that new development will have adequate infrastructure and public services and therefore, are a prerequisite to development. Mello-Roos financing through formation of Community Facilities Districts provides an alternative means to finance a portion of new infrastructure. Their use raises concerns about perceived property tax burden and equity. These issues have been magnified by the low growth economy. Where bonds have been issued for required infrastructure, such as flood protection facilities, the burden of bond debt has increased to new homeowners and vacant land property owners in proportion to the reduction in anticipated new home construction. In the City, Mello- Roos financing has been used to form two districts in areas planned for move-up housing. Three of five school districts, including Chaffey Joint Union High School District which serves Rancho Cucamonga and other communities, use Mello-Roos financing. Since new schools are usually not built until after development occurs, bond repayment is generally distributed equitably among new owners. PROACTIVE SLIPPORT OF DEVELOPMENT The City proactively promotes development, emphasizing the location of new business and industry to the City. An increase in the job/housing ratio is a major benefit. The City, through its Redevelopment Agency, also promotes affordable housing production. UTILITY USER'S TAX City Council approved a Utility User's Tax of 4.6 percent which went into effect on July 1, 1993. The tax applies to telephone, water, gas, and electricity. The utility tax is intended to help preserve public safety service by stabilizing the finances of the City and the Fire District this year. It will directly counteract take-aways by the State. In addition, the tax will allow the City to gain greater independence from State actions thereby giving greater local control. Opportunities The readjustment in the real estate market which has occurred over the last three years coupled with the dramatically lower interest rates have benefitted homebuyers by making housing more affordable. Many existing homeowners have also benefited by refinancing to lower their monthly costs which also helps those at risk avoid loan defaults through refinancing. Additionally, in the last year the City of Rancho Cucamonga, along with many other area City's, revised their development review process in order to provided a shorter, more streamlined process. 69 STRATEGIC PLAN HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITY ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT The process involved in setting Rancho Cucamonga's priorities and determining the appropriate strategies and programs to address identified priorities were based upon the overall goal stated below. To develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities principally for low and moderate income persons. Additionally, the determination of priorities was based upon evaluation of identified community needs and available resources. The following discussion will provide an analysis of the basis for assigning relative priority to each category of priority need. Further identification of specific objectives, proposed accomplishments, obstacles to meeting needs, and geographic distribution of investment will be provided for each priority. Areas of need will be assigned one of four priority designations: High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), and No Such Need (N). These priority designations are defined as follows: High Priority: Activities to address this need will be funded by the City during the coming five-year period. Medium Priority: Low Priority: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded during the coming five-year period. The City will not fund activities to address this need during the five-year period. The City will consider certifications of consistency. No Such Need: It has been found that there is no need or the City shows that this need is already substantially addressed. No certifications of consistency considered. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY High Priority HI- Extremely low, low. and moderate income renters and owners, in all family categories, ex4~eriencing cost burden greater than 30 percent of gross income and extremely low and low income renter and owners experiencing severe cost burden greater than 50 percent. 70 The 1990 Census data indicates that all extremely low, low, and moderate income renters and owners have a tremendous housing assistance need. Data provides that a large majority of all tenters, 78 percent, and owners, 64 percent, households with incomes below 80 percent of the median experience cost burden, as provided in Table 6. A significant proportion of all households, 60 percent of owner households and 78 percent of renter households, with incomes below 50 percent of the median, experience a severe cost burden. In addition to cost burden, Table 6 indicates that a majority of all low and moderate income households experience some type of housing problem, (79 percent EL, 84 percent L, and 73 percent Mod). HUD has included in this category three factors: 1) occupy a unit that has physical defect (lacking a complete kitchen or plumbing); 2) are overcrowded; and 3) have a housing cost burden or severe housing cost burden. By comparison, when evaluating housing supply, Table 22 indicates that the number of units available to low and moderate income households is limited, with a significant unmet need of 1,203 available units for extremely low income households and 1,163 units needed for low income households. As a result of the limited availability of units, many low income households must overextend themselves or double up in overcrowded situations to obtain housing. Resources are currently available to provide assistance to this needs group, including public housing and Section 8 as well as the RDA's 20 Percent Set Aside Funds through the acquisition and restriction of existing rental units to new construction. H2 - l .arge related renter families in overcrowded situations with incomes below 80 percent of the median family income. The incidence of overcrowding for large renter families is significantly higher, 36.3 percent, than for all other renter households, 10.1 percent, as shown in Table 7. In evaluating based on income category, extremely low and low income large renter families are significantly disproportionately represented with 77.1 percent of all large, extremely low income renter families and 60 percent of all low income renter families in overcrowded situations. Even moderate income large renter families are over-represented with 35.6 percent overcrowded. Housing market constraints of affordability and availability play a significant role in the problem. As discussed in H1 above, there is an unmet need of 2,371 units available for extremely low and low income families. Compounding this problem is the lack of available large units for renter households as shown in Table 16. These is an unmet need for approximately 1,298 large (three or more bedrooms) renter units. The typically higher cost for available larger units results in larger families having to double-up or obtaining inadequate housing. Resources, through the City's RDA 20 Percent Set Aside Program are already obligated for use in developing additional large family renter housing. 71 H3- Owner households with incomes below 80 percent of the median with substandard housirtg. While the incidence of households with some type of homing problem is fairly high, 39 percent for all owner households, those in the low and moderate income categories are significantly over- represented. Based on income, 71.7 percent of all extremely low income owner households, 76.2 percent of low income households and 59.3 percent of moderate income households experience some type of housing problems. In evaluating current market conditions, there are approximately 1,416 owner units available to low and moderate income owner homeholds. Of these units, it is estimated in Table 19 that 987 units, 69.7 percent, are substandard. Of the substandard units, 83 percent, 819 units, are thought to be suitable for rehabilitation. This indicates that a significant proportion of the City's existing available affordable owner-occupied homing stock is in need of rehabilitation. In evidence of this need the City's waiting list for its single-family, owner-occupied rehabilitation program has 45 households on its waiting list and 31 households on the mobile home waiting list. The existing stock of housing available to low and moderate income households represents an important source of affordable housing in the community. It is important to keep it in good condition in order to continue it availability as well as to protect the welfare of those in need of low cost housing. There are resources currently available to assist in this area, which primarily include the City's CDBG program. However, it is possible that additional funds through the HOME program may come available in the following year to assist in preserving the City's housing stock. Medium Priority M1- Renter households in substandard conditions (0-80 percent MFIa. As discussed under priority H1, a majority of all renter households experience some form of homing problem. However, the City's stock of rental housing is comparatively new with the majority constructed between 1980 and 1990. Additionally, as shown in Table 21, there are far more units available to low and moderate income renter households than owner (3,054 units). In evaluating the incidence of substandard factors provided in Table 19, approximately 30 percent, or 1,063 low and moderate income rental units, are substandard. Of these units, it is estimated that 882 are suitable for rehabilitation. However, as with owner-occupied homing, it is important to keep all existing affordable housing in good condition so that it will not be lost from the City's affordable homing inventory as well as to protect the welfare of those in need of low cost homing. 72 There are currently no resources available for rental rehabilitation. However, it is possible through future involvement in the HOME program that rental rehabilitation funds may come available. M2 - Renter and owner households with moderate incomes experiencirtg a severe cost burden. The percentage of moderate income households experiencing severe cost burden drops in comparison with other lower income households. A total of 19 percent of all moderate income tenters and 25 percent of all moderate income owners experience severe cost burden. It is apparent that the majority of families in this income category are able to secure housing without experiencing severe debt. An additional reason may be that householders in this income category have access to housing that is also available to extremely low and low income families. Table 22 indicates that there is adequate housing, by a slim margin, to meet the demand of moderate-income households, plus the availability of lower-cost housing. As a result, the emphasis on increasing availability of homing to alleviate severe cost burden is less of a need for this income group. However, affordable housing for moderate-income households should continue to be encouraged. Resources may be used for this purpose in conjunction with provisions for affordable housing for other income groups in projects where a mix of income categories are provided for. Funds for this purpose may include RDA's 20 Percent Set Aside Funds. M3- Owner households with incomes below 80 percent of the median in overcrowded conditions. Overcrowding for owner-occupied households appears to be less of a~roblem than for renters; however, data provided in the CHAS Data Book does not provide a specific breakdown for large, owner-occupied families. A total of 3.4 percent of owner-occupied homeholds, other than elderly, experience overcrowding. The incidence of overcrowding is actually less for lower incomes. This may be because of doubling up of homeholds or older children working and contributing to the household income. When evaluating the homing market, overcrowding appears to be less of a problem. As shown in Table 16, there is a significant supply of large, three or more bedrooms, owner-occupied housing. Additionally, Table 22 indicates a slight surplus of available housing for moderate income homeholds. While not a significant problem, individual case situations may be addressed through the City's Home Improvement Program, which does allow for the construction of new bath or bedrooms if a need is identified for an eligible household. Low Priority L1 - Small related renter households in overcrowded conditions (0-80 percent MFI). 73 There is little data that indicates overcrowding is a problem for small related renter households. Census data provided in Table 7 indicates that large renter households have significant need. Additionally, review of housing availability in Table 16 does not indicate a lack of housing for these families. Small households may experience overcrowding in situations where families double-up to save on housing costs. However, documentation of this occurring is not available. It is not anticipated that resources will be allocated to address this specific situation. No Such Need N1- F. lderly renter households in overcrowded conditions. Elderly households are generally smaller in size. Additionally, elderly households either retain possession and live in an old family home or have found smaller residences after retirement. As a result, there is no data that indicates that elderly households in this City live in overcrowded conditions. No resources will be allocated to address this specific situation. Objective Statements Based on analysis of community needs, existing market conditions, available resources, and the prior discussion on priority designation, affordable housing issues can be grouped into three general categories: availability, affordability, and preservation. From these three categories, objectives for assistance are then formulated. AVAILABILITY There is currently a lack of quality available housing for households in the lower income categories particularly with regards to large rental units. In addition, of the stock that is available, much of it, especially owner-occupied housing, is in need of rehabilitation. The following objectives address housing availability issues: Conservation of the City's existing single family and multiple family affordable housing stock (this will retain the availability of existing affordable housing stock). Improve the access to affordable housing for all low/moderate income households with emphasis on the production of larger (three or more bedroom) rental units. Activities and Funds Based on the current housing market, low land costs, and lower interest rates, the climate is favorable for the acquisition and production of affordable housing. The primary activities that 74 will occur to address the above two objectives will involve acquisition of existing units and their rehabilitation if required, as well as the construction of new units. These activities will primarily be funded utilizing the Redevelopment Agency's 20 Percent Set Aside Funds and any potential leveraging of funds including HOME funds and tax credits. CDBG funds may be used for some single-family rehabilitation activities. The Housing Authority of San Bernardino may also be utilizing Federal funds to acquire additional public housing units. AFFORDABILITY Housing cost burden can often represent the largest debt that a household will have. As cost burden rises, families and individuals may have to do without other essentials that may jeopardize their health, safety, and welfare. Therefore, it is important that low cost housing be made available so that low and moderate income families can find adequate and decent housing. The following objectives address housing affordability needs: Provide direct rental assistance to extremely low and low income renter households to obtain or retain permanent housing. Increase housing opportunities for low and moderate income home-ownership, particularly through 1st time home buyer assistance. Activities and Funds Lower prices caused by the current housing market has resulted in greater accessability for low and moderate income buyers, thereby stimulating the availability of first-time home buyer programs. Additionally, the City will continue to support applications by the Housing Authority for rental assistance through their public housing and Section 8 Certificate/Voucher Programs. Additionally, should the City join the HOME consortium with the County of San Bernardino, direct tenant assistance may be provided as one of the programs. PRESERVATION Preservation of existing housing stock is the City's most economical means of continuing or increasing the affordable housing stock. While the City has a relatively new housing stock, with 95 percent of the units constructed since 1960, there are some areas with concentrations of housing built prior to 1940; and housing that is 20 to 30 years of age is beginning to require significant additional maintenance. The areas where there are concentrations of older housing also tend to have a higher concentration of lower-income households. With the lack of available funds, significant repairs may be put off resulting in deterioration as well as development of potential health and safety hazards, including increased exposure to lead-based paint. Census information indicates that approximately 69.7 percent of all owner-occupied housing and 30 percent of all renter housing available to low and moderate income households is substandard. 75 The following objectives address housing preservation needs: Rehabilitation of the City's existing housing stock with emphasis on owner-occupied housing. · Improvement of living conditions for low and moderate income households. Activities and Funding Regardless of the housing market climate, preservation of existing housing stock will be a priority activity in order to prevent the loss of existing affordable housing. Additionally, as the City's housing stock ages rehabilitation activities are necessary to assist in the correction of code and health and safety issues. The primary sources of funding for single-family owner rehabilitation include the CDBG program. Additional rehabilitation activities may be provided for both owner and rental housing in the next five years through the City's possible participation in the County HOME consortium. Additionally, the Housing Authority, through their Comprehensive Grant Program, will continue to improve the living environment of low income public housing residents. Obstacles to Meeting Under-Served Needs The primary obstacles to meeting under-served needs is the lack of available resources with which to provide affordable housing. In order to provide for those in the lowest income categories, tremendous subsidies are required. As a result, housing in this category may only be constructed with direct government assistance, such as in the case with the use of the RDA's 20 Percent Set Aside Funds. Through development of non-profit housing agencies that have been set up in the last two years, the North Town Housing Development Corporation and the Southern California Housing Development Corporation, they are able to work directly with the City in assisting with the provision of affordable housing. As a result, the amount of affordable housing in the City is increasing due to the efforts of these agencies. Housing Affordability Strategic Plan OBJECTIVF. 1 Conservation of the City's existirtg sirISle family and multiple family affordable housing stock. Program 1.1 Acquisition of existing multiple-family units to be held for future affordable housing. There is a significant number of affordable rental units that were originally funded using Federal, State, or local incentives. Many of these units are coming up eligible to convert back to market rate in the next few years. In addition, the Agency's intention is to acquire existing unrestricted units 76 and add income restrictions to all or a portion of the units. The Redevelopment Agency has entered into public/private partnerships with local non-profits to purchase and restrict units as affordable for at least a 30-year time period. Additionally, the Public Housing Authority has been increasing its stock of available public housing and may continue to do so over the next five years. Resources 1. (Local) RDA 20 Percent Set Aside Funds 2. (Federal) Public Housing Authority Acquisition and Rehabilitation Geographic Distribution Activities administered by the Redevelopment Agency will primarily be based in the identified redevelopment target areas. However, RDA's 20 Percent Set Aside Funds may be used outside these areas and may be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Housing Authority of San Bernardino County, in the past several years, has been actively involved in acquisition of single-family units throughout the City for scattered site public housing. Acconxplishments Over the next five-year period, the Redevelopment Agency's goal is to acquire and conserve the following number of multiple family units Acquisition of 400 non-restricted units of which 200 will be held for incomes below 50 percent of the area median and 200 will be held for households with incomes below 80 percent of the area median. Conservation of 268 restricted units of which 134'will be held for households with incomes below 50 percent of the median and 134 will be held for households with incomes below 80 percent of the area median. Program 1.2 Acquisition and Substantial Rehabilitation of existing single family homes. The Redevelopment Agency has undertaken a program in the North Town target neighborhood whereby homes are purchased by the local North Town Development Corporation and are then rehabilitated and will be sold or rented to low income households. 77 Resources (Local) RDA 20 Percent Set Aside (Federal) HOME Consortium Funds Geographic Distribution Activities have primarily occurred in the North Town target neighborhood. However, these activities may be carried out at other locations and may occur in the future in other target neighborhoods. Acconxplishments Within the next five years the Redevelopment Agency's goal is to acquire and/or rehabilitate 286 single family units of which 143 will be held for households with incomes below 50 percent of the median and 143 will be held for households with incomes below 80 percent of the area median. OBJF. CTIW. 2 Irrkorove access to affordable housirtg for all low/moderate income households. with emphasis on production of larger (.3 + bedroom) rental units. Program 2.1 New construction of affordable multi-family units. To increase the availability of affordable rental stock, the Redevelopment Agency, in conjunction with local non-profit d~velopment agencies, will pursue new construction of affordable units in its existing target areas. Emphasis has been placed on construction of units available to large families. Construction of a new 88 unit apartment complex which is currently underway in the North Town neighborhood has all units available to large families with 34 three bedroom, 44 four bedroom and 10 five bedroom units. Resources (Local) RDA 20 Percent Set Aside Funds (Federal & State) Low Income Tax Credits (Private) Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) Geographic Distribution As the Redevelopment Agency will generally take the lead on projects in this category, most will be located within the Redevelopment Agency's Project Area. 78 Accorr~lishments Within the next five-year period the Redevelopment Agency's goal is to construct 400 new multi-family units of which 200 will be held for households with incomes below 50 percent of the area median and 200 will be held for households below 80 percent of the area median. Program 2.2 Construction of single-family infill development in low/moderate income neighborhoods. To increase housing opportunities in the North Town neighborhood area, the Redevelopment Agency has been land banking vacant property in this area with the intention of developing single-family housing for rent or sale. Not only does this practice increase the supply of affordable housing, but it serves to enhance the neighborhood where many homes are older and poorly maintained. Resources (Local) RDA 20 Percent Set Aside Funds (Federal) HOME Consortia funds Geographic Distribution Currently, this activity has occurred in the North Town neighborhood, however, the Redevelopment Agency may operate similar programs in other tar_get neighborhoods in the City. Accomplishments The Agency estimates that they will be able to construct at least 200 new single family units in the next five years. Of these, 100 units will be held for households with incomes below 50 percent of the area median and 100 will be held for homeholds with incomes below 80 percent of the area median. OBJF. CTIVF-3 Provide direct renter assistance to extremeLv low and low income households in order to obtain or retain permanent housirtg. Program 3.1 Support applications by the Homing Authority of San Bernardino County for future Section 8 and public housing assistance. 79 Resources (Federal) Housing Assistance Funds from the Public Housing Authority such as Section 213. Geographic Distribution Housing Certificates and Vouchers may be utilized citywide. Public housing units are located throughout the City in a scattered-site concept. Accomplishments Continue to support assistance of at least 166 Section 8 applicants and 16 public housing applicants on an annual basis. Those assisted will have incomes below 50 percent of the area median. Program 3.2 Consider providing additional direct tenant assistance through participation in the County of San Bernardino's HOME Tenant Based Assistance program. Resources: 1. (Federal) San Bernardino HOME Consortium Funds. Geographic Distribution The assistance can only be used within the County's HOME Program area which includes all unincorporated areas in the County as well as within the jurisdictional boundaries of communities that participate in the County's HOME Consortium. Accomplishments As it has not yet been determined that the City will p.articipate in the County HOME Consortium it is not yet possible to specify accomplishments. OBJF. CTIVF. 4 Increase housing opportunities for low and moderate income home ownership, particularly through first-time home buyer assistance. Pro~,ram 4.1 Develop and administer Mortgage Bond or alternative programs as funds become available at competitive interest rates. 8O Program 4.2 This program would provide below-market interest rates for first time homebuyers whose incomes do not exceed 120 percent of the area median. Additionally, there are restrictions on the initial sales price of the homes. The feasibility of this program is driven by the housing market. In the past, housing prices have exceeded the price limits of the programs, which is set by HUD on an annual basis. Resources 1. (Local) RDA 20 Percent Set Aside Funds Geographic Distribution Available throughout the City for households whose incomes do not exceed 120 percent of the area median and for selected homes that would meet restrictions on the initial sales price. Accomplishments Unable to specify as the City has not yet set up the program. Consider implementation of a first-time home buyer program through the County's HOME Consortium. Should the City join the County of San Bernardino's HOME Consortium, one of the programs that would be available to City residents would be a first-time home buyer program. Eligible households whose incomes do not exceed 80 percent of the area median would qualify. Resources 1. (Federal) HOME Consortium Funds Geographic Distribution The program would be available citywide and would be based on the eligibility of the applicant and the selected unit. Accomplishments Unable to specify accomplishments at this time because of the fact that the City has not yet officially joined the HOME Consortium. 81 Program 4.3 Construction of single-family infill development in low/moderate income neighborhoods. To increase housing opportunities in the North Town neighborhood area, the Redevelopment Agency has been land banking vacant property in this area with the intention of developing single-family housing for rent or sale. Should the homes be offered for sale they will be available to low- income first-time homebuyers. Resources 1. (Local) RDA 20 Percent Set Aside Funds Geographic Distribution Currently this program is available in the North Town target neighborhood. However, this program may be utilized in other target area neighborhoods at a future date. Accomplishments The Redevelopment Agency in their Housing Production Plan estimates constructing 200 new single family units in the next five years. It is anticipated that 100 units will be available to households below 50 percent of the area median income and 100 will be available to households with incomes below 80 percent of the area median. OBJF. CTIVF, 5 Rehabilitation of the City's existing housing-stock with emphasis on owner-occupied housing. Program 5.1 Moderate rehabilitation of existing single family and mobile homes for extremely low, low, and moderate income homeowners. The existing housing stock is a primary source of affordable housing. It is, therefore, important to ensure that this stock is maintained in good condition. Many lower income homeowners are only able to barely afford to make their house payments. Because of cost of living they may be unable to pay for needed repairs. The City currently has a moderate rehabilitation program in place which is available to homeowners caring less than 80 percent of the area median income, and offers deferred payment loans of up to $25,000 and grants of up to $5,000, including emergency repair grants. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant 82 Geographic Distribution This program is available Citywide and is based on the eligibility of the applicant. Acconlplishments Based on past accomplishments, the City would expect to assist 130 households in the next five years. Program 5.2 Consider implementation of a rental rehabilitation program. While the need for rental rehabilitation in this City is not extreme as the majority of the City's multi-family housing stock has been constructed in the last ten years, there is a need among some older units, especially those which are older single family homes used as rental property. Therefore, should the City join the County's HOME Consortium, rental rehabilitation is one program offered that would be available to City residents. Resources 1. (Federal) HOME Consortium funds Geographic Distribution This program would be eligible citywide as it is based on applicant eligibility. Acconxplishments As the City is not yet a member of the HOME Consortium, the goals or accomplishments cannot be evaluated. OBJF.

(Federal) HUD Comprehensive Grant Funds. Geographic Distribution The Housing Authorities public housing units are scattered throughout the City. Accomplishments Improvements to 16 public housing units in five years. HOMELESS High Priority H1 - Assessment and Outreach and Emergency Shelter for Families, Individuals and Persons with Special Needs. Assessment and outreach are the first lines of defense toward evaluating and providing assistance to those who are homeless or near homeless. Emergency shelters provide the basis for development of a comprehensive homeless assistance program. It has been found that the sooner a person is able to come back from homelessness and get off the street, the less likelihood there is that individual's will remain homeless. Providing immediate assistance and advocacy in the early stages of homelessness or near homelessness will help individuals, families, and persons with special needs obtain and/or retain permanent housing. Based on several surveys conducted within the City over the last four years, the City's homeless population has been found to vary from 25 to 156 individuals. A large majority of these were Hispanic males, although in one study, approximately 25 percent of the homeless were identified as children. A review of homeless service and shelter counts, as indicated in Table 9, found that a significant number of those assisted in 1993 were families or female-headed households. For example, of the clients assisted by the agency HOPE in 1993, 30 percent of those assisted were female heads of households, while 57 percent were families with two or more individuals. Resources are currently allocated toward support of existing assessment and outreach facilities and emergency shelter assistance. It is likely that funding will continue to be allocated toward these areas in order to continue to provide basic, immediate assistance to the City's homeless population. Medium Priority M1 - Provision of Transitional Housing for Homeless Families, Individuals, and Persons with Special Needs. 84 Transitional housing assistance is an important component of a comprehensive homeless assistance program, for it provides the necessary time and training many individuals and families need in order to learn skills necessary to obtain permanent housing. Figures on the numbers of homeless individuals and families are provided above and in discussion sections in the first part of this document. The City, in the past, has not funded transitional housing facilities; however, support for this activity may be forthcoming within the five-year planning period as the City, through its annual allocation review, may elect to fund special service providers who address this issue. Low Priority L1- Provision of permanent supportive housing and permanent housing for homeless families, individuals. and persons with special needs. The third major step in a comprehensive homeless assistance plan would be the result of individuals and families being able to obtain and retain permanent housing. Assistance in finding permanent housing may be provided by local homeless service agencies on a case-by-case basis. Assistance in this area is likely to occur as an indirect effect of other area service agencies' assistance. However, it is unlikely that the City will directly supply permanent housing opportunities. Objective Statement The reasons for and needs of the homeless are tremendously varied. In order to fully combat the problems of homelessness, adequate services and facilities must be avail_able to address all aspects of the problem from the family that is temporarily down on their luck to the chronically mentally ill drug addict. Develop a comprehensive homeless assistance program to assist the homeless individuals, families, and persons with special needs and those at risk of Homelessness. Activities and Funds A variety of services and agencies exist within the Inland Empire region to assist the homeless population. The City currently supports local service agencies that provide direct support to the homeless for outreach and assessment as well as emergency shelter assistance. Indirect assistance in the form of food provision is provided as well as help is to ensure that at-risk families do not become homeless. It is anticipated that the City will continue to fund these activities using CDBG resources. As a further component, the City will encourage the provision of transitional shelter opportunities in order to help the homeless population to obtain permanent housing and independent living. It is likely that CDBG funds would be used for this activity as well. 85 Obstacles to Meeting Under-Served Needs An obstacle to meeting the needs of the homeless population in a comprehensive manner has to do with a weak regional homeless strategy. However, in order to address this need, the County of San Bernardino developed the Homeless Coalition which serves the Inland Empire. The primary function of the agency, so far, has been to serve as a networking opportunity for area agencies. However, this has served an important function toward increasing the local support network and has lead to significant data development for the region through the sponsoring of regional homeless surveys. The City will continue to support the efforts of this agency and encourage them to take an additional leadership role in developing a comprehensive regional strategy toward addressing the homeless problem. Homeless Strategic Plan OBJF. CTIV~-1 Develop a comprehensive homeless assistance program to assist homeless individuals, families. and persons with special needs. and those at-risk of homelessness. Program 1.1 Continue the support of local homeless facilities and services. The City currently provides assistance to a variety of organizations that provide immediate assistance and advocacy and short term shelter assistance. The City will continue to address the primary priority needs but will continue to evaluate the possibility of providing additional transitional shelter assistance. Additionally, the City will support any local organization's efforts to obtain additional Federal grant funds in order to better achieve a continuum of care. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant Geographic Distribution None of the organizations funded are located within Rancho Cucamonga; however, their services provide direct benefit to our and other surrounding jurisdictions. Accorrlplishments The City estimates that in the next five years the following numbers of individuals will be assisted through the following agencies: Pomona Valley Council of Churches West End Hunger Program 5,505 Homeless Outreach 1,205 House of Ruth 565 86 Homeless Five-Year Continuum of Care Strategy As mentioned in the Objective above, it is the City's goal to develop a comprehensive homeless assistance strategy that will provide a continuum of care in order to prevent Homelessness and to assist those who are homeless toward independent living. Homelessness is truly a regional problem and many factors outside an individual City's boundaries may contribute to reasons for and the number of homeless individuals in any one place. As a result, the first step in any homeless strategy would be the development and support of a comprehensive regional homeless agency. The City will continue to support the efforts of the Homeless Coalition of San Bernardino County as this agency provides a valuable networking tool for the area. In addition, the City's strategy will address four issue areas. PREVENTION Approximately 1,584 households have been identified as being at risk of Homelessness. This has generally been defined as those renter homeholds making less than 30 percent of the area median income and paying more than 30 percent of that on homing. These individuals are in a precarious position as one setback could see them out on the street. Homeholds in this income category may often pay more than 50 percent on housing and may not be able to afford utility payments or other basic necessities. Many area service organizations provide preventative assistance in the form of utility payments, rent assistance, food, clothing, etc. Fair homing activities and landlord tenant services, as provided by Inland Mediaion Board, also function to keep residents in their existing homing. Additionally public homing assistance provides subsidized housing to those in the lowest income categories. Help-on-Call, is another activity that provides a needed service to assist households in finding assistance before they lose their homes, or this service can assist those who are in need of shelter and services. Area agencies including the City of Rancho Cucamonga and United Way provide emergency Help-on-Call services. - These efforts form an important component of the homing strategy as it is more cost effective to keep families from becoming homeless as opposed to the task of resettling those who have already lost their housing. Over the next five years, the City will continue to support and encourage local service providers and public homing agencies to assist individuals and families to prevent Homelessness. IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE AND ADVOCACY The sooner a person who has become homeless is able to get back into homing, the more likely it is that they will stay off the streets. Additionally, those who are chronically homeless may be able to receive basic assistance and services that they are not even aware exist. Therefore, agencies that provide outreach, assessment, and advocacy play an important role toward ensuring that either the newly homeless are able to obtain immediate assistance, or the chronically homeless are able to exist in humane conditions and can receive assistance to alleviate the causes of their Homelessness. Many organizations operating in the West End provide outreach services, including area churches. Agencies such as Operation Share, Homeless Outreach and Education, and Pomona Valley Council of Churches, among many others, are available to assist. 87 As a result, the City will continue to support and encourage local service providers to provide immediate assistance and advocacy to homeless individuals. SHORT TERM SHELTER ASSISTANCE This component of the strategy involves emergency shelter and short term transitional housing opportunities. Providing immediate shelter needs for those families and individuals who are on the street is particularly important especially during cold weather conditions. Emergency sheker is also necessary for individuals escaping threatening situations such as those fleeing domestic violence. The next step would be to assist those individuals with necessary education and training to allow them to get back on their feet and out on their own as soon as possible. Transitional shelter, for periods of up to 30 days, would fall within this category. The City currently supports agencies that provide emergency and short term transitional shelter, such as Homeless Outreach and Education, Pomona Valley Council of Churches, and House of Ruth. There are several others, including Catholic Charities and Salvation Army, that provide vouchers for overnight or limited lengths of stay. The City should continue to support these types of activities. TRANSITION TO PERMANENT HOUSING Longer term transitional housing and permanent housing opportunities are the final step in a comprehensive strategy toward assisting the homeless in returning to society in a fully functioning capacity so that they may obtain and retain permanent housing. Transitional housing in this instance may be for as long as two years. Several organizations in the West End provide long-term transitional shelter opportunities to families, including Pomona Valley Council of Churches and Foothill Family Shelter. Organizations surveyed by th~ City that indicated they assist homeless in obtaining permanent shelter include Catholic Charities, HOPE, Pomona Valley Council of Churches, and Habitat for Humanity. While the City provides support to agencies that have long-term transitional shelter opportunities available, assistance is not provided directly to those programs. Therefore, over the next five years the City should attempt to increase support for long-term shelter assistance. OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS As discussed at length in an earlier section 'Populations with Special Needs Other Than Homeless' it was found that, in general, affordable housing of all types is of tremendous need to these populations. Several populations including the Elderly, Frail Elderly, and the Disabled also require assistance with routine maintenance as well as the addition of handicap assistance devices. Groups, such as those with alcohol or other drug addictions and persons diagnosed with AIDS or related diseases as well as the frail elderly and disabled, may require other non-housing supportive services including transportation and in-home care. Fortunately, as discussed in the section titled 'Inventory of Supportive Housing For Non-Homeless Persons with Special Needs', many of these additional supportive needs are addressed by area service providers. This also 88 includes public housing residents whose needs with regard to the provision of special needs are being addressed in an extensive manner by the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County. As a result, it appears that the areas of need with the highest priority include the provision of affordable housing and assistance with routine maintenance and handicap assistance. Based on the above discussion, special needs priorities can be defined as the following: High Priority H1 - Assist all economic and special needs groups with the provision of affordable housing. In discussions with service providers, affordable housing was identified as the greatest need by this group. Generally, all of the objectives and programs discussed under the Housing Affordability section would address this priority. H2- Provide all low and moderate income and special needs groups with rehabilitation assistance including handicap improvements. Should individuals with special needs find affordable housing, the majority of their resources often go into the support of that housing and they may be unable to afford to have the architectural changes made to their units that would increase their access and livability. The City currently funds rehabilitation programs that assist low-income, special needs populations with accessability improvements. Medium Priority M1- Provide non-housing related special needs assistance to all low and moderate income special needs groups. As discussed above, there are a large number of available serve providers in the Inland Valley who are able to meet most of the special needs in the area. To date, the City has not received requests for assistance from area special needs groups. However, should applications be submitted through the annual review process, the City will consider them for future funding. Objective Statement Based on the above analysis that provided throughout the document it is clear that affordable housing issues are of the greatest concern. However, it was addressed in the Affordable Housing Section and, therefore, will not be repeated. As a result, the main objective of this section is discussed below. To provide necessary rehabilitation services to special needs populations with emphasis on assisting the elderly and frail elderly. · Provide support when possible to service providers assisting special needs populations. 89 Activities and Funds Activities to fulfill this objective will primarily fall under rehabilitation, either moderate or minor in conjunction with the City's Home Improvement and Oldtimers Minor Rehabilitation Programs both of which are currently funded through the Federal CDBG Program. Support activities may occur either indirectly through such programs as Fair Housing or Inland Mediation or at some future date the City may choose to fund a program specifically bene~ting a special service segment of the population. This would possibly occur if the City were approached as part of its annual needs assessment by an organization which indicated substantial need for a particular activity. Special Needs Strategic Plan OBJECTIVE 1 To provide necessary rehabilitation services to special needs populations with emphasis on assisting the elderl,v and frail elderly. Program 1.1 Provide minor and emergency rehabilitation services to eligible low income households with emphasis on assistance to low and moderate income elderly. The City currently funds the Oldtimers Foundation, which is an agency that provides minor rehabilitation and emergency assistance to low and moderate income residents and senior citizens. Residents who are owner occupants are eligible to receive two visits, with a cost of up to $100 per visit and with the allowance for a one-time material charge of up to $250 for emergency situations. In addition to household repairs, the Oldtimers also construct exterior handicap ramps for disabled residents. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant Geographic Distribution The program is eligible citywide to applicants that qualify based on income eligibility. Accorrtplishments It is estimated that this program will assist at least 280 households over the next five years. OBJF-CTIVF. 2 Provide support when possible to service providers assisting special needs populations. Program 2.1 Provide support to special needs services in areas where there is significant under-served needs 90 As discussed in the section above, many of the non-housing supportive service needs required by special needs populations are adequately addressed by area service providers. However, should an agency indicate that there is a significant need population that is under addressed, the City will consider funding an activity in its annual application evaluation. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant Geographic Distribution Services that are funded are generally available to eligible residents citywide. Accon'tplishments As there are currently no organizations funded under this program, there are no anticipated accomplishments. Obstacles to Meeting Under-Served Needs The primary obstacles to meeting the needs of special needs population is the provision of affordable housing at all economic levels. As discussed above, the provision of additional affordable housing is addressed under that category. NON-HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS In order to achieve the overall goals of this plan, the development of a viable urban community, decent housing, suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities it is necessary that non-housing needs be addressed. It is necessary to address all parts of the community fabric in a holistic fashion which, in addition to housing, relates to such things as public improvements, public facilities, public services, and economic development. In order to determine what the non-housing needs in the community are, staff held a public hearing on needs, conducted on-site surgeys of target neighborhoods, and solicited input from all related City agencies and departments. The City also requested input from adjacent jurisdictions, public and private organizations, the public housing authority, and all other interested parties. The following discussion is a summary of the needs assessment obtained as a result of the above efforts. 91 Target Area Evaluation Based on the 1990 Census data and using the quartile method, there are five qualified low/moderate income target areas within the City. The City is in the process of qualifying a sixth target area based on survey results. The existing and proposed target areas are located in Map 2. The following is a summary of the survey results for all six target areas. CENSUS TRACT 21, BLOCK GROUP 6 The majority of land area within this target neighborhood, otherwise known as North Town, is industrially zoned, with an area of residential construction north of 8th Street and a few scattered homes immediately south of 8th Street. This area qualified with the highest concentration of low/moderate income families, 74.75 percent, and based on a windshield survey, has a very high percentage of homes requiring rehabilitation. In addition to this neighborhood qualifying as a CDBG target area, it also falls within the Redevelopment Agency's target area. As a result, this area is at the focus of an intensive rehabilitation effort by the Redevelopment Agency. The significant need for rehabilitation may be based on several factors including age of the units, ownership, and lack of maintenance. Analysis, based on County Assessors data, indicates that a majority of the units were built prior to 1977 with approximately 29 percent built prior to 1940 and 17 percent built between 1940 and 1959. Unfortunately, the assessors data is incomplete and only reports age for 78 percent of the units. It is suspected that many of those unreported are of an older vintage. Absentee ownership, also based on Assessors data, is relatively high with 36 percent of the units under absentee ownership. However, in this area, unlike the other target areas, a majority of absentee owners, 19 percent, actually live within Rancho Cucamonga while 17 percent are from outside the City. At least 11 of the homes, 7.3 percent, are owned by other individuals or families from within the target neighborhood. This ma);'be because of the fact that for many years now this area has functioned as a cohesive Hispanic community with family members purchasing property in and around their own homes. This target area has an extremely high minority concentration of 96 percent with approximately 92 percent being Hispanic. Based on a windshield survey, which only evaluates exterior appearance of a unit and provides no indication of interior conditions which may be a hazard in older homes, it was found that approximately 22 percent of the housing units required some form of major repair while 46 percent required minor repairs. Additionally, 42 percent of the units required some form of yard maintenance. Infrastructure needs in this area are less significant, as CDBG funded improvements were provided several years ago. There are some existing alleys that could be paved to allow easier access for residents and City crews. CENSUS TRACT 21, BLOCK GROUP 3 This is a relatively small block group located south of Foothill Boulevard, north of Arrow Route, between Archibald and Hermosa Avenues. A total of 56.5 percent of the residents are considered 92 low and moderate income with 40 percent minority. Three quarters of this area was not surveyed as it was either recently constructed multi-family or the areas had all infrastructure improvements in and the residential portions did not show signs of needing significant rehabilitation. However, one area was looked at more closely, the neighborhood north of Devon Street, and south of Hampshire Street. A significant proportion of homes were built between 1940 and 1959, 45 percent, with 16 percent built between 1960 and 1977, and 35 percent built after 1977. Based on a visual survey, a majority of the homes are in very good condition with only a few requiring any type of minor repair. This area is however, in need of infrastructure improvements such as the addition of sidewalks and new streetlights. The surveyed neighborhood has an extensive amount of mature landscaping forming an attractive canopy over the street and creating a pleasant, intimate environment. When this area comes up for possible infrastructure improvements, care should be taken to preserve the character of the area by reducing sidewalk widths and by having a sidewalk on only one side. CENSUS TRACT 21, BLOCK GROUP 7 In evaluating this block group as a whole, it was found that 36.8 percent of the residents were low/moderate income. A total of 59 percent are minorities, with 48 percent Hispanic. This block group can be broken up into several distinct neighborhoods. The first encompasses the area between Feron Avenue and 8th Street from Hermosa to Archibald Avenues. The second, would be the small group of four cul-de-sacs north of Feron including London Avenue, Pasito Avenue, Ramona Avenue, and Jersey Avenue. The third area of single family concentration is south of Arrow Route between Archibald and Hermosa, north of McKinley Street. The fourth area falls south of 8th Street, north of Acacia Street between Archibald Avenue and Cottage. A windshield survey of this last area was not provided as this area is zoned Industrial. The remainder areas in the block group are newer multi-family developments and commercial. Area 1 Area 1 is essentially a continuation in neighborhood charaaer with the North Town area identified in Census Tract 21/Block Group 6. Homes in this area are generally older with 63 percent bulk prior to 1940. A total of 16 percent were built between 1940 to 1959. However, unlike its neighboring area to the east, this area has an extremely high absentee ownership rate, 40 percent, and the vast majority of those, 33 percent, are from outside the City. Based on a windshield survey of Area 1, 53 percent of the units require some type of minor repair, with approximately 13 percent requiring roof repairs. A total of five units, or 8 percent, were identified as requiring major repairs. An additional 38 percent of the units require some type of yard maintenance. 93 Minor infrastructure improvements are required in this area, with the possibility of new or additional streetlights. Area 2 This area was not surveyed as it appeared that there were relatively few rehabilitation items required. All of the homes in this area were built in 1971. Only one of the units is held by an absentee owner. ~rea 3 While Area 3 is in need of additional infrastructure improvements, housing rehabilitation does not appear to be a significant issue. Based on a windshield survey, only 5 percent of the homes appeared to require some type of minor repair. Very few homes appeared to need roofs and very few of the homes,4 percent, were identified as needing yard maintenance. The primary reason for lack of rehabilitation needs is because of the age of the units. A small section of 59 homes on both sides of Ramona Ave and East on Alpine and Salina Avenues were built in 1957. The remainder of the homes, 173 units, were built in 1977 and 1978. Infrastructure needs in this area include the addition of sidewalk and possible new streetlights. Area 4 The area immediately south of 8th Street contains a pocket of older residential development surrounded by industrial uses. This entire area, including the residences, is zoned industrial. There are 19 homes in this area of which 58 percent were built prior to 1940 and 21 percent were built between 1940 and 1959. Additionally, absentee ownership is fairly high with 47 percent of the units held by absentee owners. Because of the zoning, no site improvement surveys were conducted. CENSUS TRACT 21, BLOCK GROUP 2 This is a very large block group with 34.69 percent of its residents qualified as low/moderate income. Of residents in the area 42 percent are minority with 29 percent Hispanic. In evaluating age in the block group as a whole, 1 percent of the units were constructed prior to 1940, 35 percent were constructed between 1940 and 1959, and 43 percent constructed between 1960 and 1977. This block group is able to be broken into several different neighborhoods, each with their own characteristics. The first area is located generally south of Via Carillo, north of Chaffey St, east of Grove Avenue and west of Edwin, with the exception of a small area included south of Arrow on either side of Comet Street and just south of Salina expanding to include Edwin. The second area is north of the railroad tracks at Via Carillo and south of Rancheria Street and east of Grove. 94 The third area is north of Arrow Route, west of Hellman on Calle Vejar, Avenida Leon, and Avenida Castro, south of Konocti Street. The fourth area is south of Foothill Boulevard, north of Arrow Route, west of Archibald, and east of Malachite. Area 1 Area 1, historically known as Southwest Cucamonga, is the largest of all the areas in this block group and covers a variety of housing development types. Housing in this area is generally older with 4.7 percent built pre-1940 and 75 percent built between 1940 and 1959. The area with the oldest concentration of housing is located south of 9th Street, east of Grove and west of the units on Edwin. There are a total of 55 units in this neighborhood of which 18 percent were built prior to 1940 and 51 percent were built between 1940 and 1959. Absentee ownership in the Southwest Cucamonga area is approximately 19 percent; however, it is approximately 33 percent in the neighborhood south of 9th Street. Portions of this area were not surveyed in detail for rehabilitation needs. Although, given the general age of the units in this area it is anticipated that significant minor and major rehabilitation will be required. Over the last five years, this neighborhood has received significant infusions of CDBG funds to complete infrastructure improvements. Most of the streets have been upgraded; however, there are some streets remaining to be completed including 9th Street and Calaveras between 9th and Arrow. This area is a small pocket of approximately 60 homes bounded to~ the north by Rancheria Avenue, and to the south by the railroad tracks. Immediately north of Rancheria, the land uses are a mix of office and multiple family. North of San Bernardino Road, the zoning is commercial and office. Approximately 91 percent of the homes in this area were constructed between 1940 and 1959 and are generally smaller with detached garages to the rear. A total of 29 percent of the homes are owned by absentee owners. Approximately 40 percent of the homes in Area 1 require some form of minor rehabilitation. Approximately 15 percent of the units need new roofs with 13 percent of the homes requiring some type of yard maintenance. As homes in this area are older, they were developed with minimal irffrastructure. Improvements required in this area include sidewalks, curb and gutter, and new or additional streetlights. Area 3 This is a small pocket of older residential homes that were built in 1955 and are surrounded by more recently constructed homes. There are approximately 39 homes in the older area that front Ca. lle Vejar and short portions of Avenida Leon and Avenida Castro. A total of 23 percent of the homes are in absentee ownership. 95 Based on a windshield survey, approximately 43 percent of the homes in this area require some form of minor rehabilitation. Two homes were identified as requiring major rehabilitation. Additionally, 23 percent of the homes required some type of yard maintenance and 23 percent also had inoperative vehicles visible. Approximately 15 percent of the homes appeared to require new roofs. In addition to significant rehabilitation needs in this area, it is also lacking infrastructure improvements including sidewalks, curb and gutter and new streetlights. Area 4 This area is again an older pocket of homes surrounded by newer infill development located just west of Archibald Avenue. The earlier development extends from Hampshire south on Malachite, Leucite, Klusman, and Jadeire to the point just north of Friant Street. The 147 homes in this area were built between 1956 and 1957. Approximately 17 percent of the homes are in absentee ownership. Based on a drive-by survey, this area appeared fairly well maintained with only 6.8 percent of the homes identified as requiring minor rehabilitation and 4 percent needing new roofs. Typical with other developments of this age in the City, the area does not have full infrastructure improvements and is lacking sidewalks, curb and gutter, and new streetlights. CENSUS TRACT 20.01 BLOCK GROUP 4 This target area, which is otherwise known as the Rochester tract, was built between 1974 and 1977. This area qualified with 35.06 percent of the residents having low/moderate income. A total of 39 percent of the residents in this area are minority with 30 percent of Hispanic origin. Based on a windshield survey, few of the residences appeared to require major rehabilitation work; however, minor routine rehabilitation may be required throughout the tract. As this area was relatively recently constructed all of the basic infrastructure has been installed. Upgrades do not appear necessary at this time. POTENTIAL TARGET AREA CENSUS TRACT 22.02, BLOCK GROUP The area considered potentially eligible is located south of Foothill Boulevard, east of Etiwanda Avenue and north of Arrow Route. This neighborhood, otherwise known as the lost tract, was eligible as a CDBG target area after the 1980 Census. However, based on the quartile method calculation used for the 1990 Census data, this block group missed qualifying as a target area by .23 percent. It is possible that the single family portion of this block group will qualify when the incomes of the newer multi-family residential development to the south are subtracted. 96 In addition to determining income for this area, it is found that this block group has one of the highest minority concentrations, with 46 percent of the households identified as minority (32 percent Hispanic and 11 percent black). A windshield survey was completed in this area. There were no homes identified as requiring major repairs; however, approximately 31 percent of the homes were identified as needing some type of minor repair with approximately 20 percent of the homes needing new roofs. It was also noted that a large number of the homes have asphalt driveways that are in obvious disrepair. Homes in this area are approximately 25 to 40 years of age with 30 percent built between 1940 and 1959 and 70 percent built between 1960 and 1977. In addition to home maintenance this area is lacking in complete infrastructure including sidewalks and street lighting. Because of the extensive mature vegetation in the rights-of-way, staff would recommend adding sidewalk on only one side of the street. In evaluating a long range plan for the City, this area would be investigated as a potential target neighborhood. A survey should be conducted to determine income. POTENTIAL TARGET AREA MONTE VISTA STREET This neighborhood is tucked in the City's historic downtown area and is a cluster of older dwellings on one street. This neighborhood is located between Amethyst Street and Archibald Avenue. It has an extremely high incidence of drug and gang activity. Based on a survey conducted in the area it was found that 58 percent of the residents are low/moderate income. This area has a high concentration of minorities with 69 percent of Hispanic origin. Also of interest when looking at the age and sex breakdown of the population it is found that 33 percent of the households are female headed. Of age breakdown, 41 percent of the population are in the 3040 year age range with 22 percent falling in the 60 + age group. There are a total of 55 units identified in the area. There are a large number of second dwelling units with some lots having up to three units. The structures in the area are generally older with 53 percent built prior to 1940. Approximately 18 percent were buik between 1940 and 1959, and 9 percent built between 1960 and 1977. A windshield survey conducted by staff determined that approximately 5 percent of the units require major repair while 29 percent of the units require some type of minor rehabilitation with 11 percent needing new roofs. A number of the units require yard maintenance, 18 percent, and 5 percent having visible inoperative vehicles. This area is generally lacking in completed infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks, curb and gutter, and additional streetlights. In order to provide improvements to this area staff will attempt to have it qualified as a low- income target area by HUD as soon as possible. 97 Public Facilities and Improvements Much of the discussion provided regarding the target areas generally involved infrastructure improvements which would fall under this eligibility classification according to the CDBG program. Improvement of public facilities in target neighborhoods, including upgrading or providing for community facilities for target populations, has been considered of primary importance in creating viable urban communities and a suitable living environment for low/moderate income residents. Most of the identified target neighborhoods are significantly lacking in adequate infrastructure improvements including adequate paving, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and street lighting. Additionally, these neighborhoods usually have inadequate community activity spaces such as parks, community centers, and the like. Improvements like these in a neighborhood not only improve property values on the surface, but increase the sense of pride of place, and make residents in these area feel that they are valued members of the community. Indirect effects may result in lower gang and crime activity in these areas. Additionally, the City has an extremely active senior population who utilize the existing neighborhood center on Arrow Route. The focus of this center's activities are currently about 90 percent on senior activities and it is possible that soon 100 percent of the activities will be devoted to senior services. As a result, the following priority categories have been determined. High Priority H1 - Senior center: parkirtg facilities. street in, tprovements, sidewalk irrtprovements. Rehabilitation of the City's only senior center has been voiced as of primary importance to the community. The City feels it is of primary importance to give back to the senior population in return for their many years of dedication to their community. In addition to upgrading the facility itself, an adjacent parking lot and related improvement are considered necessary to allow adequate access to the facility. As discussed above, street, sidewalk, and related improvements are considered to be extremely important in addressing the needs of target area populations. Medium Priority M1- Nei~borhood facilities. parks and/or recreation facilities and other public facilities. It is known that several of the target neighborhoods including North Town and Southwest Cucamonga have inadequate neighborhood facilities and parks or recreation areas available to local residents. However, while the need is known, actual locations and determination of available funds is not known at this time. These types of projects may require a longer time frame in which to come to fruition than five years. Other public facilities may include upgrades to fire protection related items. The Fire Division has indicated a need in the target neighborhoods but has not yet developed a specific program to address them. Low Priority L1 - Youth centers, child care centers, water improvements, sewer improvements. 9g While investment in the City's youth through development of additional Centers may be of significance, it has not been identified as a need for this community. While there may be some need for water and sewer improvements in target neighborhoods, a separate agency, the Cucamonga County Water District, handles all of those issues and, therefore, the City would not spend resources in these areas. Objective Statement Based on an analysis of community needs, existing conditions and available resources, as well as the prior discussion on priority determination the following objective statement has been identified. Provide improvements to public areas and public facilities in order to enhance living environments and improve the quality of life in low/moderate income neighborhoods and for lower income individuals, seniors and the handicapped. Activities and Fundirlg Activities that will be encouraged are those that are already underway including providing improvements to the City's Senior Center as well as completing infrastructure and sidewalk improvements in all qualified and target neighborhoods. CDBG funds will be used for this purpose. Public Services The provision of public services is essential to a community in order to provide the necessary support to individuals and groups that have special needs or who are unable to obtain benefit in the community through conventional means. Special services provide {he safety net with which to help those who may be on the verge of irreparable harm. Based on needs identified for special populations discussed earlier in the document such as the elderly, frail elderly, disabled, substance abusers, and those with AIDS, needs of the City's youth-at-risk population are significant and should not be ignored as they will eventually erupt into unmanageable social problems later on; therefore, the following priority categories have been identified. High Priority H1- Youth services, fair housing counseling, tenant/landlord counseling, as well as other public services. Activities within the high priority group are those that relate to immediate health and safety needs or toward education and prevention. Fair Housing and Tenant/Landlord counseling are imperative services as they provide a means of ensuring that low and moderate income populations are able to maintain housing. Assisting youth-at-risk populations is a means of providing these youth with a pathway that shows the way toward a healthy and productive life styles. Other types of public services that are of high priority relate to immediate health and safety issues including food and shelter access. 99 Medium Priority M1 - All other public services including senior services. handicapped services. transportation services, substance abuse services, employment trainirtg, crime awareness. child care services. and health services. While provision of many different types of public services may be beneficial to the community, because of resource allocation, the City may only be able to serve those address an immediate priority need, or those that have accessible providers available to provide the service. However, as grant allocations change on an annual basis, public services in this category may, at some future date, be considered for funding should sufficient need be presented. Objective Statement The focus on public service will continue to be a significant part of the CDBG program. To date, the City has made it a policy to fund those agencies that serve an immediate health and safety need or that address a significant issue of prevention and education, especially with regard to the City's youth. Continue to fund available public service agencies that improve the quality of life for lower income persons and those with special needs. Activities and Funds It is likely that the City will continue to fund agencies or similar agencies that have received funding in the past. Additionally, as the City's grant allocations increase, it is likely that additional public service agencies may be funded. CDBG funds are the available resources for these activities. Removal of Architectural Barriers High Priority H1 - Accessability needs. Access to all residents, regardless of disability, is of primary importance to the community. The City is in the process of developing its Section 504 plan. However, several facilities in the City have already been identified as being inadequate toward meeting handicap accessability requirements and, therefore, correcting these problems have been determined to be a high priority. This includes improvements to public rights-of-way, public facilities including parks and recreation areas, as well as improvements to public buildings. 100 Objective Statement The City should continue on its course of improving accessability to all public facilities and buildings, although in some cases this may in fact be an extensive undertaking that could take many years to complete. · Ensure accessability to all public facilities and structures. Activities and Funds The City currently has several accessability projects in process or in the planning phases including providing handicap accessible curb returns at all corners as well as providing full handicap improvements to the Lions Center, East and West. Funds that will be used all or in part include CDBG as well as recreation funds. Historic Preservation- Residential and Non-Residential Preservation of the City's heritage is a very important aspect of creating a sense of place to a community. It instills a pride of place and a celebration of the achievements of those who have come before us. Residential historic preservation is already possible through the residential preservation programs the City has in place. Historic preservation of non-residential structures must fall under the categories of public facilities and improvements or special economic development activities and are subject to the restrictions within each of those categories. Historic preservation activities are generally limited to correcting public health and safety or code violations. Medium Priority M1 - Residential and non-residential historic preservation needs. The City has engaged in Historic Preservation activities for residential structures over the last several years. Unfortunately, competing demands for assistance have precluded any further activities. Additionally, in most cases, owners of non-residential historic structures are not low/moderate income, nor do they primarily employ lower income individuals. Should funds become available and a structure that meets eligibility criteria need assistance, the City will most likely engage in historic rehabilitation at a that time. Objective Statement As this City has a strong commitment toward historic preservation, the following objective statement has been identified. The restoration and preservation of properties of social value for historic, architectural, and aesthetic reasons. 101 Activities and Funds There currently are no activities slated for improvement in the next five years; however, should situations change or new information come available, it is possible that historic preservation activities may occur in the next five years. If this does happen, funds that are likely to be used will be CDBG funds. Administration and Planning Planning activities are an essential element in the administration and implementation of federal grant programs. High Priority H1 - Administration and planning activities. Planning activities are an ongoing function of a City agency as a means to determine its course of action as well as to provide a source of checks and balance by providing goals as well as ensuring that they are met. Planning activities take many forms, including on-going daily dissemination of traditional planning development information, conducting long-range studies, developing specific functional plans, target area assessments, evaluating historic preservation issues, and the like. Planning functions in concert with the overall administrative duties of the program Objective Statement Planning is an activity that will occur on a continuous basis in the implementation and development of the CDBG Program. Provide the necessary planning and administrative capacity to implement the City's CDBG program and the provisions of the Consolidated Plan. Activities and Funds The City shall continue to fund all program planning and administrative costs through CDBG program resources. Economic Development Generally, all of the activities that have been identified in this community plan could be viewed as economic development activities. For example, the level of business activity in the City could be helped through development of a five-year development plan, improvements to public facilities and infrastructure, better housing, and enhanced public services. As a result, activities aimed specifically at enhancing commercial or industrial business development are not expected to occur over the next five years. 102 Low Priority L1- Commercial-industrial rehabilitation and infrastructure improvements: micro-business, other business, and technical assistance: and other economic development needs. The City provides adequate incentives for economic development through programs and activities that are outlined throughout this document. Additionally, the majority of the City's existing commercial and industrial land and developments are in areas with relatively new development or where there is significant vacant land. While economic development is important for this community and the nation as a whole, those activities will be better supported from public and private agencies outside this arena. Objective Statement Based on an analysis of community needs, existing conditions, and available resources, as well as the prior discussion on priority determination, the following objective statement has been identified. The alleviation of physical and related economic distress through the stimulation of private investment and community revitalization in identified target neighborhoods. Activities and Funds Generally there will be no new activities identified as a result of economic development specifically; however, many of the activities that are already occurring such as improvements to public facilities and infrastructure improvements will have the indirect effect of stimulating economic development in the City and improving property values and related private investment in target neighborhoods. Other Community Development Needs There is a broad range of miscellaneous activities that falls under this category including Energy Efficiency, Lead Based Paint Hazards and Code Enforcement. However, all of these activities relate to residential rehabilitation and are generally addressed through those programs. Medium Priority M1 - Ener~ efficiency, lead based paint hazards. and code enforcement. All of the above issues are currently addressed through the City's Home Improvement Program. At the time of application review and inspection of a home that is eligible for assistance under the City' s Home Improvement Program, consideration of the above items are taken into account and addressed whenever there is an identified problem. As energy efficiency assists in making homes affordable to lower income families, energy efficient appliances and fnctures are routinely specified in work orders. Lead based paint hazards are evaluated for all homes that were constructed prior to 1978 and have children under the age of seven living in them. If a child in the home has an 103 elevated blood lead level then defective chewable surfaces will be treated and lead abated. Code Enforcement issues are addressed at the time assistance is provided and alleviated to the extent possible. Objective Statement The correction of code and health and safety problems, and improvement of energy efficiency deficiencies will continue to be addressed through available programs. To revitalize and upgrade housing conditions, to prevent and eliminate blight and blighting influences, and to eliminate conditions detrimental to the health, safety, and public welfare. Activities and Funding Activities to address these areas are already in place through the City's Home Improvement Program. Attention to these activities will continue to be a focus. This program is funded through the City's CDBG Program. Additionally, the Public Housing Authority, through its Comprehensive Grant Program, will also address these same issues. Non-Housing Community Development Strategic Plan OBJF. CTIVF. 1 Provide improvements to public areas and public facilities in order to enhance living environments and improve the quality of life in low/moderate income neiglxborhoods and for lower income individuals, seniors, and the handicapped. Program 1.1 Complete all necessary infrastructure and sidewalk improvements in qualified target areas. Based on a windshield survey conducted in the City's qualified and potential target area, the Engineering Division has developed a five-year infrastructure improvement plan. In addition to street reconstruction and new sidewalk additions, this also includes repair to existing sidewalks throughout target neighborhoods. This generally involves the repair and replacement of existing sidewalk sections that are in poor or hazardous conditions. Resources: 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Geo~aphic Distribution General infrastructure and sidewalk improvements will occur only in qualified target neighborhoods. Other public facility improvemenu will occur at locations that are eligible based on the target area population they serve, such as the City's Neighborhood Center, which is located at 9791 Arrow Route. 104 Accorrtplishments Completion of all necessary rehabilitation improvements including the addition of a parking lot at the City's Neighborhood Center by July 1999. Completion of infrastructure improvements in the City's target neighborhoods over the next five years include the following: 9th Street from Grove to Edwin Monte Vista Street from Amethyst to Archibald Tapia Via from Grove to Rancheria Rancheria from Grove to Tapia Via Calle Vejar from Avenida Leon to Hellman and Avenida Leon from Arrow to Calle Vejar Sidewalk program-installation of sidewalks in existing and potential target neighborhoods, should they qualify Sidewalk repair and replacement-Removal and replacement of all incidents of inaccessible sidewalk sections throughout the target areas, approximately 19,800 square feet. Program 1.2 Completion of rehabilitation improvements for the Neighborhood Center, which is the City's primary senior center, including interior rehabilitation, parking lot expansion and handicap improvements. This is an ongoing rehabilitation project that has been underway for the past three years in which small phases of improvements have been completed in each year. In the next five years, significant structural modifications to the building will be required as well as expansion of a parking lot adjacent to the building. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Geographic Distribution The Neighborhood Center is located at 9791 Arrow Route. Acconlplishments Completion of all rehabilitation requirements for the Neighborhood Center including interior modifications and parking lot expansion by July 30, 1999. Program 1.3 Development of a Fire Safety Awareness Program 105 Program 1.4 OB, JF. CTIV~-2 Program 2.1 The City's Fire Safety Division has indicated that they would like to develop a fire safety awareness program that would include outreach efforts in the target neighborhoods. An actual program activity has not yet been developed. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant Geographic Distribution This program would be focused in on the City's qualified target neighborhoods. Accomplishments 100 residents to participate in possible future programs by July 30, 1999. Evaluate the possibility of developing a new community/recreation facility in either the Southwest Cucamonga or North Town target neighborhoods. As discussed previously, both of these target neighborhoods have inadequate community recreation facilities available. While there are no immediate plans to develop any new facilities in these areas, it would be encouraged in order to create a more enriching environment for these areas. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant Geographic l .ocation The North Town or Southwest Cucamonga target neighborhoods. Accomplishments The evaluation and determination of a new community recreation location. Continue to fund local public and non-profit service a~encies that function to improve the qualiD of life for lower income persons and those with special needs. Fund public service agencies that assist groups in the highest priority categories including youth-at-risk, fair housing, landlord/tenant counseling, food distribution and battered women's shelter. 106 It is hoped that the needs currently being met through assistance by the City will continue to be assisted. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant Geographic Distribution While most of the agencies funded are not located within the City's jurisdictional boundaries, all residents of the City are eligible to receive services. Accomplishments It is estimated that the following numbers of individuals or households will be assisted in the coming five years. 470 Persons 1885 Households 150 Persons 565 Persons 5,505 Persons Fair Housing Landlord/Tenant Youth-at-Risk Domestic Violence Shelter Food Distribution OBJF. CTIW. 3 Program 3.1 Resources 1. Ensure accessability to all public facilities and structures. Provide complete handicap improvements to the. Lions Center facility. This facility includes two buildings. The first, Lions West, is the City's primary community center. Lions East is the old County library that will be converted to additional community space. Improvements required to Lions West are extensive and involve widening rooms and hallways, constructing a new handicap accessible entrance, as well as new hardware. Improvements required for Lions East include the addition of a new door and retrofitring the restrooms. Improvements to Lions West have been intended for several years and funds have been allocated each year toward this work. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant 107 Program 3.2 Program 3.3 Geographic Distribution The Lions Park Community Center is located at 9161 Baseline Road. This is the main community facility for the entire City. Accomplishments To have completed all required improvements within the next five-year period. Installation of handicap ramps at all curb returns. This program has been underway for several years with the goal of providing handicap accessability at all curb returns in the City. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant Geographic Distribution All curb returns throughout the City. Accomplishments The addition of handicap ramps at all curb returns within the City, or approximately 14,400 square feet of curbing retrofitted in the next five years. Complete handicap accessibility requirements at other eligible public recreation facilities, including Old Town park. Old Town Park primarily serves the North Town target neighborhood and the southern portion of the City. It was originally constructed using CDBG funds. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant Geographic Distribution Public facilities that may be assisted are wide ranging and may include the City Hall, as well as the Old Town Park. Assistance may be located in the North Town target neighborhood or may be at any public facility in the City. 108 Accomplishments Complete handicap accessability requirements for Old Town Park. OBJECTIW. 4 Program 4.1 Resources 1. 2. The restoration and preservation of properties of social value for historic. architectural, and aesthetic reasons. The rehabilitation of significant historic structures, with primary emphasis on residential assistance. It is already possible for the City to provide residential rehabilitation through the Home Improvement program. However, in many cases the cost to rehabilitate a historic structure may exceed $25,000 and in that case would have to be qualified as a rehabilitation program in its own right. OBJF.

Accomplishments To provide improvements to 10 households over the next five years. Program 6.2 Continue to fund a Graffiti Removal Program Effective Graffiti Removal functions to alleviate conditions of slum and blight in the target neighborhoods. Resources 1. (Federal) Community Development Block Grant Geographic Distribution Graffiti removal is an area benefit eligible in all qualified target neighborhoods. Accomplishments The removal of approximately 74,995 square feet of incidents of graffiti over the next five years. Obstacles to Meeting Identified Community Development Non-Housing Needs The greatest obstacle to meeting the community development non-housing needs is a lack of available resources. Funds received through CDBG are relatively limited, representing approximately .8 percent of the City's overall budget. Many of the public facility and infrastructure improvements are fairly expensive projects that could utilize the majority of the available CDBG resources. However, these priorities must be balanced with the need to meet other housing, homeless, and special need priorities. STRATEGY TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING There were no public policies identified that result in significant negative effects on the cost of housing or the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve housing in the City. The various policies, codes, and regulations that are in place which affect the development of housing, are necessary to protect the health and safety of residents and to provide for the long-term benefit of the community. 111 LEAD BASED PAINT HAZARD REDUCTION STRATEGY In the first section of this document, Table 20, a summary estimate of the number of units with a potential lead-based paint hazard have been identified. Over the next five years, actions will be undertaken in conjunction with the Community Development Block Grant Home Improvement Program consistent with current Federal requirements for that program. HUD requires that programs using CDBG funds notify tenants and homeowners in writing about the danger of lead. In addition, units that were constructed prior to 1978, which are occupied with families with children under the age of 7, are inspected for defective paint surfaces. If a child residing in the home has an elevated blood lead level then defective chewable surfaces will be treated and lead abated. To the extent possible, given availability of funding, lead-based paint, when identified, will be treated and/or abated from those units with children under the age of 7, when an elevated blood lead level has not been identified. It will also be recommended that all housing rehabilitation activities carried out as part of the Redevelopment Agencies efforts also follow the same guidelines as those used for the CDBG program for lead-based paint removal. In those instances where federal CDBG funds are utilized in conjunction with a RDA project, the above policies must be strictly adhered to. ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY For the 1990 Census, poverty level is defined as the average annual income for a family of four which is below $12,674 in 1989. This is a national figure with no adjustmenu for regional cost of living variations. In 1989 there were 5,516 persons in the City identified as being below poverty level which represents 5.6 percent of all persons for whom poverty level has been determined. Of those identified as below poverty level, 41 percent were male and 59 percent female. - Generally, the jurisdiction has relatively little control over the many factors which may affect the determination of an individual's income level. The primary activity that may be utilized by the City toward this end would be the support of public service agencies that incorporate job training and life skills development into their programs, which includes most of those groups currently receiving funding from the City. From a housing perspective, all of the priorities, goals, and programs outlined in the Consolidated Plan's Five-Year Strategy under Affordable Housing and One-Year Action Plan are ultimately intended to provide a viable stock of affordable housing, much of which will be available to very low income households and those below poverty level. Additionally, the objectives and programs specified in the remaining sections of the Five Year Strategy, will also serve in conjunction with Affordable Housing to meet the needs of the City's lower income and poverty level families. It is hoped that through the combination of support services and available housing, and the efforts of the City, other local jurisdictions, and other public and private agencies assisting in this area that a reduction will be made in the number of individuals below poverty level. However, these 112 efforts, by their nature will be fragmented and specialized. In order to provide a truly comprehensive program committed toward reducing the number of households below poverty level, efforts will be required from both the State and Federal Government. This is particularly important under the current economic recession in which local budgets are stretched to the limit and often those programs not providing essential public health and safety services are eliminated. INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION Generally, the institutional structure through which an affordable housing strategy is carried out is multifaceted involving separate department and institutional divisions within the City itself, as well as the involvement of organizations outside the City. Other than the main consistent participants in this effort, the City, it may be difficult to determine who and what agencies will be involved over a five-year period as individual and organizational involvement may change from project to project. Public Institutions Within the bounds of the local jurisdiction there are two primary public agencies functioning, the general City with its many departments and City Council, as well as the Redevelopment Agency. Ultimately, decisions regarding resource allocations for the City are made by the Rancho Cucamonga City Council. In making these decisions, the Council receives input from City staff and interested citizens. Based on this input, a set of policies are approved for utilization of available funds. The actual implementation of these policies is then carried out by various City departments. Generally, it is primarily the Community Development Department's Planning Division who oversees the implementation of general City housing programs through the Community Development Block Grant program, with such activities as the Home Improvement Program and public service agencies. _ The members of the City Council sitting as the Redevelopment Agency Board, direct the activities of this agency. Staff of the Redevelopment Agency are a separate division within the City but often coordinate efforts with other related departments in the implementation of housing programs using the 20 Percent Set Aside Funds..Given the extent of this fund, the housing related activities are often more complex and involve more input from outside agencies, whether public or private, for consultation, funding availability, and coordination. The City is currently discussing the possibility of joining the County of San Bernardino's HOME Consortium. Should that occur in the next year, the County would become an active participant in the City's overall housing strategy. The other public agency involved in providing affordable housing to Rancho Cucamonga residents is the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County. The Housing Authority was created and formally organized in 1941 as a political entity operating independently from other governmental agencies. All cities in San Bernardino County, with the exception of Upland and Needles, and the County itself are served by the Authority. Programs offered to Rancho Cucamonga residents include the Section 8 Certificate/Voucher program and scattered site public housing. 113 The Housing Authority is generally autonomous from local jurisdictions. The Board of Commissioners is appointed by the County Board of Supervisors with two members at large who are public housing residents. The Board of Commissioners then appoints the Executive Director who is then responsible for personnel and administrative activities within the agency. The Housing Authority may operate independently of the City with regards to the acquisition of new single-family scattered site public housing. However, they must obtain the City's concurrence to expend funds under the Comprehensive Grant Program. To date, the Housing Authority has no plans to demolish or dispose of its existing scattered site housing. Non-Profit Organizations Two non-profit housing agencies are currently working with the Redevelopment Agency to construct, purchase, and/or manage low income housing units within the City. The Southern California Housing Development Corporation was incorporated in 1992 for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, maintaining, and/or managing housing units for low income households. Southern California HCD, with assistance from the Redevelopment Agency, has acquired Rancho Verde Village, which is a 240 units multiple family development which will offer 104 restricted, affordable units. Additionally, the Redevelopment Agency has committed 1.8 million a year for 30 years to Southern California HCD for the acquisition of affordable housing. The second housing non-profit is the North Town Housing Development Corporation. The Redevelopment Agency assisted members of the North Town neighborhood with the formation of a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 1993. The purpose of the organization is to establish, maintain, and operate housing units for low income households in the North Town neighborhood of Rancho Cucamonga. Other non-profit agencies involved in providing assistance, and which earrently receive assistance from the City through its CDBG program include Homeless Outreach, House of Ruth, Inland Mediation, Pomona Valley Council of Churches, and the YWCA. Activities provided by these agencies are varied and include homeless outreach, assessment and emergency shelter assistance, fair housing and landlord/tenant counseling, food distribution and youth-at-risk programs. Private Industry Private industry involved in the production of affordable housing will primarily involve financial and lending institutions or through restrictions on private development. Private development assistance may be brought about as the result of development agreement requirements or conditions of approval to a project. This has been the case in the past with both Lewis Homes in the Tern Vista Community Plan and the Lyon Company in the Victoria Community Plan, in which as trade off for approval of large master plans, the developers had to agree to provide a certain percentage of affordable units. With regard to private financing there are numerous programs and private corporations that have funding and assistance available to assist in leveraging funding for affordable housing projects. Some of these include the Federal National Mortgage Association (FannieMae), Savings 114 Associations Mortgage Company (SAMCO), California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC). Affordable Housing Program (AHP), Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), as well as programs offered to comply with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRC). A discussion of the potential public and/or private leveraging opportunities that may be used in conjunction with the North Town Corporation are detailed in Appendix E. OVERCOMING GAPS With the continued focus on the problem over the last few years the provision of affordable housing is becoming more efficient. Until 1990, the Redevelopment Agency did not have a comprehensive housing program. However, the adoption of the RDA Affordable Housing Strategy in 1990 provided long-term direction. The years since have seen the follow-up implementing of these strategies and the increasing expertise of staff. Additionally, in recent years, the Community Development Block Grant program has seen a turn over in staff as well as new documentation requirements from HUD. Again, increasing expertise of staff along with streamlining of paperwork requirements has resulted in more efficient and productive program assistance delivery. The public agency programs discussed in the prior section tend to generally function independently of one another. The reasons for this are varied, differing eligibility requirements and objectives, limited resources, specialized staff and specific reporting requirements. While those involved in implementation of the programs are able to do so in an efficient and effective manner, efforts might be better rewarded if ways were found to combine objectives and pool resources. One example of this would be the collaboration of the City and County through the HOME consortium. Additionally, while Housing Authority assistance will generally continue to function independently from local agencies the City can work wkh the agency to combine efforts when possible and to continue to provide support for their activities. In evaluation of various social service agencies, whether non-profit or public, lack of comprehensive coordination among these agencies is likely the biggest problem. Reasons for this are generally the same as those listed above. While those agencies receiving funding from the City may provide assistance and report results in a consistent manner, others may not and may not be interested in doing so if funding is not available. The establishment of organizations such as the San Bernardino County Homeless Coalition is a means to help this problem by providing coordinating and networking opportunities for these agencies as well as proving a consistent reporting effort through an annual homeless census. Most of the agencies surveyed by staff for input to this document indicated an awareness of other local service providers and indicated that a relatively strong network has been developed to help prevent persons from becoming homeless, or help in finding shelter for those in dire situations, including persons released from mental health institutions. Continued coordinating efforts and information dispersal by organizations such as the Homeless Coalition will help improve the service delivery system for the area. 115 Strategy to Overcome Gaps The most significant consistent issue of concern raised in providing affordable housing assistance is in the area of coordinating efforts. However, it has been noted that with an increasing focus on affordable housing in the last few years and the increasing expertise of those involved in service delivery, that progress has been and should continue to be made toward this end. As public agency programs evolve, coordination of efforts will become easier and more beneficial. Continued support of local coordinating agencies such as the San Bernardino Homeless Coalition should be encouraged to increase the efficiency in service delivery. COORDINATION EFFORTS Throughout this document efforts have been made to describe the coordination of efforts on the part of the various service providers to address the affordable housing needs in the West End region and in the City itself. Most of the coordination efforts are tied to funding resources and the character of the service provided. The City will continue to encourage and support coordination efforts of the many varied organizations including various public, governmental, health, mental health, and service agencies, and activities out there through such groups as the San Bernardino Homeless Coalition as well as through efforts on the part of the Redevelopment Agency to utilize its 20 Percent Set Aside funds in the most efficient and economical manner possible. Additionally, the City has used public meetings as opportunities to express need and facilitate coordination as well as through direct agency contact in the process of development of this document. With regard to coordination efforts among local jurisdictions and state agencies, the adjacent local City's of Upland and Ontario have met with Rancho Cucamonga representative to share ideas and input. The three City's coordinated efforts to obtain special needs information for this document. In addition, the City has worked directly with the State in development of the mandated Housing Element which is directly related to this planning document. PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENT INITIATIVES Management For those in public housing the Housing Authority coordinates a resident council, in which residents are elected to the board. The Council meets monthly and has an impact on such things from organizing youth sports events to evaluating the Comprehensive Grant Application. The resident council has been in place for many years and the Housing Authority intends to keep it in place as a valuable leadership tool. The Housing Authority will begin implementing a Family Self-Sufficiency program for its Section 8 participants. If eligible participants are interested, they must sign a five-year contract with the ultimate goal to be economically independent and self-sufficient. To assist families in reaching this goal, supportive services will be provided including education, job training, child care, transportation, medical, counseling, and case management. 116 Home Ownership Over the next five years the Housing Authority intends to participate in the HOPE 1 and HOPE 2 programs to assist residents in becoming homeowners. As a primary step toward this activity, the City will indicate in it's CHAS that it would support such an application. One concern, however, expressed by the Housing Authority, is the fact that many residents are barely able to meet the rent payments and they would be unable to meet the costs associated with home ownership. As a result, a long term program of the Housing Authority would be to provide job training and life skills assistance. Management and Operation The focus of the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County is to comply with Fair Housing requirements, to centralize the work order system, strengthen the Family Self-Sufficiency program, to improve the screening of tenants, expand resident employment, be more efficient in the use of inventory, improve rent collection, initiate resident management training, and continue with the drug elimination programs. Living Environment The Housing Authority currently owns sixteen units. All sixteen are reported to be in excellent condition and are part of a grant program whereby $197,500 will be spent between 1995 and 1999 to maintain the physical condition of the units. With the concurrence of the City, the Housing Authority received funding in 1992 through the Comprehensive Grant Program to address physical and management needs of the units. Lead- based paint testing and abatement are the highest priority with new roofs, security measures, and various other structure and site improvements planned over the next five years. 117 Priority Needs Summary Table Pdortty Need Level ESTIMATED ESTIMATED PRIORITY HOUSING NEEDS High, Medium, Low, No Such Need UNITS DOLLARS NEEDED (households) TO ADDRESS 0-30% 31-50% 51-80% Renter Owner Small Large Elde~y Cost Burden > 30% H Cost Burden · H 50% Physical Defects M Overcrowded L Cost Burden · 30% H Cost Burden · 50% H Physical Defects M Overcrowded .

The City does not expect to receive any additional program income during the 1995-96 program year. SAN BERNARDNO COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY The San Bernardino County Housing Authority serves as the local housing authority for the region. The Agency currently operates over 5,000 Section 8 housing units and has developed, or is in the process of developing, approximately 151 affordable units. The Agency currently owns 16 single family homes in Rancho Cucamonga and rents them to qualified households at affordable rents. Sources of funds available to City residents through the Housing Authority would include funds for the Section 8 Certificate/Voucher Program as well as Comprehensive Grant Improvement Funds. _ COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT The County receives Federal funds to implement a HOME Consortium. The City is currently investigating the possibility of joining the consortium. However, this would not occur during the 1995-96 program year. Other Resources THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY State law requires redevelopment agencies to set aside at least 20 percent of tax increment revenue for increasing and improving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing. Between July 1, 1994, and June 30, 1999, approximately $23 million dollars will be generated by tax increment for affordable housing. Tax increment revenue for 1995-96 is expected to be $4,764,915. 120 Additionally, as of June 30, 1994, the Agency purchased 45.70 acres of land bank resources which could be developed with up to 366 affordable units. However, because of neighborhood opposition to affordable projects, the City Council directed that 25.16 acres be traded for a more suitable site or sold. Leveraging and Matching Funds The primary source of fund leveraging will occur in conjunction with activities carried out through the Redevelopment Agency with 20 Percent Set Aside Funds. This is accomplished through public/private partnerships with non-profit housing development corporations such as the North Town Development Corporation and the Southern California Housing Development Corporation. Other potential sources for leveraging include HOME Funds and Low Income Housing Tax Credits. ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN Affordable Housing OBJF.

However, this is and will continue to be an issue. The best way to address this matter is to combine efforts and resources and tap new funding sources. The City is striving to do all three by forming public/private partnerships as well as seeking out new sources of funding, such as HOME Funds or Mortgage Revenue bonds in order to better leverage available funding. Actions to Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing The majority of the Objectives and actions identified as part of this plan are specifically aimed at increasing or maintaining the City's existing affordable housing stock. Activities such a new construction, conservation of at-risk units, and preservation of existing units are all serve to increase the affordable housing stock. 136 ,--, O 0 O0 ZZ Actions to Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing There were no significant barriers to affordable housing identified that would need to be revised or ameliorated. All of the regulations and policies currently in place are necessary in order to maintain the public health, safety, and welfare. Actions to Reduce Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction In conjunction with the Community Development Block Grant Program, the City will continue to implement current Federal requirements concerning lead-based paint reductions. HUD requires that for any program utilizing CDBG Funds, all owners and/or tenants be notified in writing about the dangers of lead-based paint. In addition, units constructed prior to 1978 which are occupied by children under the age of 7 are inspected for defective paint surfaces. If a child residing in the home has an elevated blood lead level than defective chewable surfaces will be treated and lead abated. It is also recommended that housing rehabilitation efforts carried out by the Redevelopment Agency also follow the same guidelines as those used for the CDBG Home Improvement Program. Actions to Reduce Poverty Generally, the City has relatively little control over the many factors which may affect the determination of an individuals income level. The primary activity that may be utilized by the City toward this end would be the support of public service agencies that incorporate job training and life development skills into their programs, which includes most of the agencies currently receiving funding from the City. Additionally, most of the activities funded by the City, particularly those related to non-housing community development, act indirectly to increase economic development in the City. Additionally, the City, through its CDBG contract activities, complies with Section 3 requirements encouraging the employment of local low income individuals. From a housing perspective, all of the priorities, objectives, and programs aimed at increasing affordable housing will hopefully increase the stock of housing available to those in the lowest income categories. Actions to Develop Institutional Structure and Enhance Coordination The Strategic Plan evaluated gaps in the institutional structure and actions that might be taken to strengthen the system. It was determined that one main action that can be taken toward this end is the increasing expertise of staff and the Council which in turn will increase efficiency and effectiveness. An additional activity includes the continued support of local coordinating agencies such as the San Bernardino County Homeless Coalition. 138 The City shall continue to encourage direct contact between itself and the Public Housing Agency and other service providers operating in the region. Most of the coordination efforts in the west end are tied to funding resources and the type of service provided. Public Housing Improvements Each year the City reviews the Annual Comprehensive Grant application submitted by the Housing Authority in that the City must certify consistency of the activities with the goals and objectives of the CHAS and now the Comprehensive Plan. 139 CERTIFICATIONS In accordance with the applicable statutes and the regulations governing the Housing and Community Development Plan regulations, the City of Rancho Cucamonga certifies that: Citizen Participation Plan -- It is following a detailed citizen participation plan which: Provides for and encourages citizen participation, with particular emphasis on participation by persons of low and moderate income who are residents of slum and blighted areas and of areas in which funds are proposed to be used, and provides for participation of residents in low and moderate income neighborhoods as defined by the local jurisdiction; Provides citizens with reasonable and timely access to local meetings, information, and records relating to the grantee's proposed use of funds, as required by the regulations of the Secretary, and relating to the actual use of funds under the Act; Provides for technical assistance to groups representative of persons of low and moderate income that request such assistance in developing proposals with the level and type of assistance to be determined by the grantee; Provides for public hearings to obtain citizen views and to respond to proposals and questions at all stages of the community development program, including at least the development of needs, the review of proposed activities, and review of program performance, which hearings shall be held after adequate notice, at times and locations convenient to potential or actual beneficiaries, and with accommodation for the handicapped; Provides for a timely written answer to written complaints and grievances, within 15 working days where practicable; and Identifies how the needs of non-English speaking residents will be met in the case of public hearings where a significant number of non-English speaking residents can be reasonably expected to participate; Citizen Participation -- Prior to submission of its housing and community development plan to HUD, the jurisdiction has: 1.

(07/~2) APPENDIX E AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN 156 Open Letter To: Mayor Alexander and City Council Members From: Donald J. Kurth, M.D., Private Citizen Subject: Public Apology Date: May 3, 1995 Good evening Mayor Alexander and City Council Members. My name is Donald Kurth. I reside in Rancho Cucamonga. As you know, I am rather new at all this political business and I neglected to take Politics 101 in medical school. As I am sure you are aware, I was totally unprepared for the personal attacks directed at me in the recent past. None-the-less, I have born those slings and arrows and held my head high. Now, I have heard through the grapevine that my attempt at political humor through the Little Piggy political cartoon may have hurt your feelings. If this is the case, I do apologize. I mean nothing personal by either my words or my deeds. I have tried to restrict my public comments to your public performance as elected public officials. As you know, I am the incoming President of the Rancho Cucamonga Cheer of Commerce. In that capacity, I want to assure you that my public actions will reflect that position. As a citizen and the only son of a military family, both of whose parents risked their lives fighting for democracy in World War II, however, it is my responsibility to remind you of the promises that you made to your constituents. The strategy of the Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce, however, has always been one of diplomacy. In my public role as President of that body, I shall always do my best to follow the will of my constituents. Hopefully, by the grace of God, I shall be able to set a good example in my capacity as a community leader. Again, I do apologize if I have allowed my honesty to interfere with my tact. Thank you for your time. cityc535.st4 FY 1995-96 ESTIMATED FY 1995-96 FY 1995-96 FY 1994-95 NEW TOTAL CARRYOVER ALLOCATION PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT ADMINISTRATION 0 128,400 12% 128,400 8% CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 9th Street Design/Const. 590 264,000 264,590 Wheelchair Ramps 0 20,260 20,260 Sidewalk Repair 0 22,760 22,760 Tapia Via Drive Design 0 30,000 * 30,000 Lions Center West 204,470 228,520 432,990 Lions Center East 0 35.350 35.350 600,890 57% 1,016,830 68% HOME IMPROVEMENT Home Improvement 20,000 * 247,804 * 267,804 Oldtimers' Foundation 0 8,000 8,000 255,804 24% 275,804 18% PUBLIC SERVICES Graf~ti Removal 0 27,510 27,510 Fair Housing 0 11,300 11,300 Landlord Tenant 0 8,570 8,570 House of Ruth 0 7,600 7,600 Homeless Outreach 430 7,570 7,570 West End Hunger-SOVA 0 7,000 7,000 YWCA 0 7,000 7,000 76,550 7% 76,980 5% TOTAL ALLOCATION 1,061,644 100% 1,500,554 100% * Includes Program Income 3.
