Funding History Needs statement Please explain why you are requesting Congressionally Directed Spending for this project. The City of Palm Desert is requesting CDS funding for a comprehensive resiliency plan development project. The $1 million requested will be allocated to hire a consultant to conduct a comprehensive inventory, community outreach, and mitigation/resiliency plan for the City to be able to prevent future disaster events. By securing resources for resiliency planning, Palm Desert can fortify its defenses against future challenges, ensuring the continued safety and well-being of its residents and the vitality of its infrastructure. The City will oversee all planning, design, and implementation of the project, alongside 3rd party contractors for design and construction needs. This project is anticipated to be completed along a 14-20 month timeline for all plan development, community outreach, and local and regional approvals. It will include robust flood mitigation strategies, as well as resiliency strategies for the extreme heat concerns within the Coachella Valley, with average summer temperature exceeding 105 degrees Fahrenheit and expected to increase in intensity and frequency with the climate crisis. The plan will be comprehensive of all regional resiliency needs for the City, including stormwater, wildfire, floods, earthquakes, etc. 1. Description of importance to the local community and/or State of California. During Tropical Storm Hilary and the declared state and federal state of emergency, the massive amount of rainfall cause water and debris to breach the walls of the Mid Valley Channel, and inundate several areas throughout the city. The City of Palm Desert, located in the Coachella Valley in Riverside County California, was one of the areas most strongly impacted by Tropical Storm Hilary in August 2023, displacing over 30 residents in the Spanish Walk Neighborhood and requiring raft rescue and emergency response needs throughout the Northern Region of the City and the region. The immense property damage, mudslides, and negative quality of life impacts on the project site area, particularly the existing residents, necessitate the urgent and pressing need for additional emergency response and hazard mitigation measures. A completed resiliency plan will allow the City to mitigate future disaster and flood events and ensure that the City is well prepared and equipped to respond to future emergencies. 2. List any entities or organizations partnering in or supporting the project. Request to CalOES for letter of eligibility included with application 3. Does this project primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons or communities? Yes 4. Please include relevant data on how this project primarily benefits low- and moderate-income persons or communities. The City of Palm Desert includes 4 out of 7 census tracts that have been designated either Disadvantaged or Areas of Persistent Poverty according to USDOT’s grant project locator tool. The City also has significant population center’s below the State MHI’s disadvantaged community threshold, according to CA DWR’s DAC Mapping Tool. The City’s population is 35% non-white identifying, with a vibrant Latino community. Many of the priority bridges, such as the Portola Avenue Bridge, are critical accesss points to ensure our low income populations are able to travel to and from school and other critical community services via active transportation if they lack access to a vehicle – tracts within the City are in the bottom 22% of cities in California for automobile access. The City also ranks poorly on the California Healthy Places Index for housing conditions: it is in the bottom 3.9% for housing habitability and the bottom 11.5% for severe housing cost burden. 4.1 Has this project been submitted to a Member of Congress in previous fiscal years?
