Introduction Each year the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding for housing and community development programs to the City of Palm Desert, specifically Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. In order to receive these funds, the City must complete a report every three to five years called the Consolidated Plan. According to HUD, the Consolidated Plan is designed to be a collaborative process whereby a community establishes a unified vision for housing and community development actions. It offers entitlements the opportunity to shape these housing and community development programs into effective, coordinated neighborhood and community development strategies. It also allows for strategic planning and citizen participation to occur in a comprehensive context, thereby reducing duplication of effort. As the lead agency for the Consolidated Plan the City of Palm Desert hereby follows HUD’s guidelines for citizen and community involvement. Furthermore, it is responsible for overseeing these citizen participation requirements, those that accompany the Consolidated Plan. The City of Palm Desert has prepared this Consolidated Plan to meet the guidelines as set forth by HUD and is broken into five sections: The Process, Needs Assessment, Market Analysis, Strategic Plan, and Annual Action Plan. 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The goals of the CDBG program administered by the City of Palm Desert are to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment for the city’s low- and moderate-income residents, and economic opportunities for low-moderate income residents. The City strives to accomplish these goals by maximizing and effectively utilizing all available funding resources to conduct housing and community development activities. These goals are further explained as follows: • Providing decent housing means helping homeless persons obtain appropriate housing and assisting those at risk of homelessness; preserving the affordable housing stock; increasing Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) availability of permanent housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income persons without discrimination; and increasing the supply of supportive housing. • Providing a suitable living environment entails improving the safety and livability of neighborhoods; increasing access to quality facilities and services; and reducing the isolation of income groups within an area through integration of low-income housing opportunities. • Expanding economic opportunities involves creating jobs that are accessible to low- and moderate-income persons; making down payment and closing cost assistance available for low- and moderate- income persons; promoting long term economic and social viability; and empowering low-income persons to achieve self-sufficiency. 3. Evaluation of past performance The City of Palm Desert’s evaluation of its past performance has been completed in a thorough Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). These documents state the objectives and outcomes identified in each year’s Annual Action Plan and include an evaluation of past performance through measurable goals and objectives compared to actual performance. These documents can be found on the City’s website at: https://www.palmdesert.gov/departments/special-programs/community-development-block-grant- cdbg 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process A variety of public outreach and citizen participation was used to develop this Consolidated Plan. The 2023 Community Development survey was used to help establish priorities for the City by gathering feedback on the level of need for housing and community development categories. A public meeting was held prior to the release of the draft plan to gather feedback on preliminary findings. Once the Plan was released for public review, a public hearing was held to offer residents and stakeholders the opportunity to comment on the plan. 5. Summary of public comments There were no public comments received. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them There were no public comments received. 7. Summary The City’s efforts in the development of this Consolidated Plan are represented by the efforts to establish the Strategic Plan.

Describe agency/entity responsible for preparing the Consolidated Plan and those responsible for administration of each grant program and funding source The following are the agencies/entities responsible for preparing the Consolidated Plan and those responsible for administration of each grant program and funding source. Agency Role Name Department/Agency Lead Agency PALM DESERT CDBG Administrator City Manager's Office / City of Palm Desert HOPWA Administrator HOME Administrator HOPWA-C Administrator Table 1 – Responsible Agencies Narrative The City’s Finance Department is the designated department responsible for undertaking all activities associated with CDBG including the day to day administration and details associated with regulations. Other involved agencies are those non profit organizations and public entities that provide direct services to target groups, as well as the Continuum of Care (CoC) that assists in carrying out goals and objectives outlined for homeless activities. In addition, the City established the Palm Desert Housing Authority (“Authority”) to operate the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency’s affordable housing portfolio. Subsequently from the elimination of redevelopment agencies, the City designated the Authority as the successor of all housing activities including transferring ownership of all affordable rental properties. As a result, the Authority, with the assistance of the City’s Housing Department Staff, is responsible for carrying out housing activities and programs related to the affordable housing portfolio of the former Redevelopment Agency. (NOTE: The Authority is not designated as a public housing agency; therefore, any public housing information provided in the plan pertains to housing units that received housing assistance through the Authority. The housing assistance information provided in this plan is for the entirety of Riverside County.)

Introduction The City of Palm Desert followed its Citizen's Participation Plan to notify and encourage the public, other local government agencies, private businesses, nonprofit organizations, the Riverside County Continuum of Care (CoC), etc. to participate in the City’s development of the Consolidated and Action Plans as required by 24 CRF 91.100. In addition, the City specifically mailed letters to those agencies and nonprofit organizations on the CDBG mailing list. In addition, the City of Palm Desert is an active member of the County of Riverside Continuum of Care (CoC) Board of Governance (BOG) (which includes various County departments, many nonprofit organizations, as well as other agencies) and works directly with them in relation to issues that address homeless. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)). The City undertook the annual process to invite and encourage individuals and representatives from a variety of public agencies, health service providers, and non profit organizations. As outlined within the Executive Summary Section, Citizen's Participation Section is the specific actions undertaken by the City to continue to invite participation and consultation with the City in regard to the CDBG Consolidated and Action Plan development. Housing Department works directly with the Housing Commission which is consists of members from the community (i.e., 2 residents of affordable housing properties and 7 members with business/professional experience). In addition, the City's Housing Department works directly with developers and housing provider to address affordable housing issues and projects within Palm Desert. In addition, the City has created a staff position focused on homelessness and mental health. The Social Services Coordinator focuses on homelessness and is developing a more proactive system of care for those experiencing homelessness and/or struggling with mental health or substance use issues. This position is a licensed therapist and has background coordinating services with housing, shelter, behavioral health and private and government agencies. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness The City of Palm Desert, Director of Special Programs is currently the Co Chair of the County of Riverside CoC Board of Governance (BOG), the Chair of the Employment and Self Sufficiency Subcommittee as well as a member of Eastern Regional Subcommittee. Each of these committees address various aspects/issues related to homelessness and services to the homeless. These committees are specifically set up to address issues related to all levels of homelessness (i.e., chronic, veterans, families, Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) unaccompanied youth, mental illness, substance abuse, etc.) as well as the various issues as a result of being homeless (i.e., medical care, services, housing, income and employment, etc.). As a result, the City is able to work directly with public agencies and services providers to coordinate efforts on a local and regional basis. The CoC has worked to establish the HMIS, Housing, Employment and Self Sufficiency, and Discharge Planning Subcommittees to further address specific issues that the homeless and the homeless providers face on a day to day basis. Through this coordination the City is able to address homeless needs within our community and the region as a whole. In addition, the BOG established a Discharge Planning Committee that has worked with the Department of Corrections, Law enforcement, area Hospitals, and the Department of Mental Health to create an agreement between all parties that address discharging practices. The agreement has now been approved and ratified by all participating groups. The City’s Social Services Coordinator is an active member of the CoC and coordinates directly with providers to address the needs of vulnerable populations in the city. This role also oversees contract providers serving at-risk of homelessness and unhoused individuals and families in the city. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City of Palm Desert does not receive ESG funding. However, since the City is part of the CoC BOG, it participates in the CoC ESG process for any communities/organizations receiving ESG through the County of Riverside. The CoC has a review committee that reviews data and ranks organizations that receive or have applied to receive ESG funds based on the new Tier System. Once ranking has been completed, the rankings are submitted to the BOG for review, and notices are sent to the respective organization for appeal and review of ranking. In addition, the HMIS Administrators Council was established by the COC. The Council is composed of each of the HMIS agency administrators for the providers and has the responsibility of reviewing all HMIS policies and procedures, make recommendations on HMIS programs, ensure that organizations are properly educated on the new system, and ensure adherence to the HMIS polices for the COC. The County of Riverside, Department of Public Social Services who is the CoC’s Collaborative Agent is also the HMIS Lead agency and is therefore responsible for providing technical support to train organizations in HMIS system. Funding has been set aside for this purpose through the CoC and Collaborative Agent and HUD SHP grants. 2.

Table 4 – Citizen Participation Outreach Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 14 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Needs Assessment NA-05 Overview Needs Assessment Overview The City of Palm Desert is located in the Coachella Valley in eastern Riverside County. Riverside County grew from 1,545,387 in 2000 to 2,189,641 in 2010. By 2018, the American Community Survey estimated that the County population had grown to 2,383,286, which represents an 8-year increase of 8.8%. The California Department of Finance (DOF) estimated that, in January 2020, Riverside County had a population of 2,442,304, an increase of 11.5% over the 2010 population. Palm Desert has also experienced a rapid rate of growth. In 1990, the Census reported a population of 23,252 in the City. From 1990-2000, the City’s population grew to 41,155, an increase of 77% in ten years. By 2010, the Census reported a City population of 48,445, an increase of 17.3% in ten years. The California Department of Finance estimated that the City’s population on January 1, 2020, was 52,986, an average annual increase of under 1%. Between 2010 and 2018, the City’s growth rate (7.6%) ranked in the middle compared to other Coachella Valley cities and was less than the County’s growth rate (8.8%). The City had a total of 23,117 households in 2010. The average household size was 2.09 persons per household based on the 2010 Census. Between 2010 and 2018, the number of households increased 4.3% to 24,114, and the average household size in 2018 was 2.15 persons according to the ACS. In 2018, 44.9% of households consisted of married couple families, followed by nonfamily households (43.3%), female householder families (7.6%), and male householder families (4.3%). Median household income in the City in 2000 was $48,316; it rose to $50,267 by 2010. In 2018, median household income had risen to $57,578, less than the County median income, which stood at $66,964. The following table identifies the number of Palm Desert households in each income range. The Great Recession, with onset in late 2007, saw high unemployment and job losses in the Coachella Valley. At the trough, about every seventh person lost their job. Regional employment started to increase in 2011, but annual growth was still slower than pre-Recession levels until 2017, suggesting more severe impacts than western Riverside County, the state, and the nation. The construction sector was hit hardest regionally, with approximately 70% of jobs lost and only 14% recovered by December 2017. The Retail Trade and Wholesale Trade sector lost around 6,700 jobs but has generally returned to pre-Recession levels. Two sectors have fully recovered and even added jobs: Education and Health Services and, to a lesser extent, Leisure and Hospitality. Between 2010 and 2019, annual unemployment rates in Palm Desert declined from a high of 10.1% in 2010 to a low of 4.2% in 2019. However, analysis of employment data from 2005 to 2017 shows that, as of December 2017, Palm Desert had not Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 15 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) recovered the job losses it incurred during the Great Recession. The City lost about 20% of jobs, relative to peak employment, and had recovered only about 1.8%.

Overall, there are 8,765 single person households in Palm Desert. This represents a 2% increase in this type of household since 2010 when there were 8,617 single person households. For this household type, single persons make up 37% of all households in the City. For single person households, 5,048 are owners. Overall, single owners make up 34% of all owner households in Palm Desert. Additionally, 3,717 are renters which makes up 40% of all renters in the City. Also, 931 single person households do not have a vehicle, highlighting mobility needs for this population. Single person households that make less than 30% of AMI are in the greatest need of housing assistance. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. Those that are disabled require housing considerations for their needs. This can require units to be accessible or navigable in ways that are different than standard units. This is particularly present for Palm Desert due to a large and growing population of disabled people. Data shows there are 7,701 disabled persons in the City for 2017. This represents 15% of the population. Additionally, the number has increased 13% in just five years, jumping from 6,787 in 2012. When it comes to specific disability types, the two most common in the City are Ambulatory Disability (3,673 individuals) and Hearing Disability (3,112 individuals). There is a lack of data for Palm Desert on the number of individuals in this group as it pertains to victims of domestic violence or victims of human trafficking. The Point in Time count report did not specify numbers for these populations, and there is no information on housing options for these populations within the County Housing Inventory Count. However, there are State databases for supportive services in place for individuals in these circumstances. For example, The National Network for Ending Domestic Violence publishes annual reports by State for counts of domestic violence victims and cases. The 2021 Annual report found that across the State, 4,533 victims are served each day. However, there were still 1,071 unmet requests for services across the State in 2021. Consultation backed up the need for additional services for these populations. Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 21 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) What are the most common housing problems? The most common housing problem by far is housing cost burden. According to CHAS data, 9,410 households in the City experience some type of housing cost burden which represents 39% of all households in the entire City. When broken down into severe cost burden, this still remains a major issue. In fact, there are more households experiencing severe cost burden than standard cost burden. In the City there are 4,970 households paying 50% or more of income on housing costs. The population paying 30-50% on housing costs is only 4,440 households. Therefore, cost burden and severe cost burden is a major problem for the City. Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Housing cost burdens affect renters at a higher rate than owners. CHAS data shows that 47% of all renter households experience cost burden compared to only 35% of all owner households. This rate for renters of 47% is higher than the Citywide rate of 39%, while the rate for owners is below the City average. The same trend remains true for households experiencing severe cost burden. For this type of cost burden, 25% of all renters experience the issue while only 18% of all owners experience the issue. Most strikingly, the issue effects households that are low-to-moderate income (0-80% AMI) at a much higher rate than other households. There are 9,240 LMI households in Palm Desert and 6,610 experience a cost burden which is a rate of 72%. When broken down into tiers, it is even more pronounced. Extremely low-income households (0-30% AMI) are cost burdened at a rate of 83%, and very low-income households (30-50%) are cost burdened at a rate of 79%. Low-income households (50- 80% AMI) experience a cost burden at a rate of 60%, which is much higher than the Citywide rate of 39%. Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re -housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance The top housing problem for low-income individuals and families with children is housing cost burden. There is an overall need of affordable housing options for these populations. In the City, there are 2,875 households in the extremely low-income category. Of this group, 2,380 (83%) experience cost burden and 2,130 (74%) experience severe cost burden. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 22 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Not applicable Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness There are multiple factors that may contribute to an increased risk of homelessness. These include large households or households that are overcrowded from families doubling up, or large families that can only afford smaller housing units. Also, a major issue is housing cost burden. Families that experience a cost burden are considered to be at risk of becoming homeless. If cost burden is paired with another housing problem, then the risk is exacerbated. Other characteristics include elderly households with fixed incomes, single female-headed households, and households with persons experiencing a disability. Discussion This section outlines some major housing issues in the City, especially housing cost burden. This is a primary concern for lower income households since they experience housing cost burden at a much higher rate than other households. Additionally, there is stress on the rental housing market for individuals or households that cannot afford to buy a home. Renter households experience cost burdens at a higher rate than homeowners.

Below are the waiting list preferences: The Housing Authority (HA) has implemented the following preferences for selecting names from the waiting list. In accordance with California State Law, at each level of preferences, veterans and/or active- duty servicemen and their spouse or widow/er will have priority. The Housing Authority will release families to result in a lease up of: • For the Section 8 Program: 75% of the families will be at or below 30% of the median income (extremely low income), and 25% of the families will be between 30% and 50% of the median income (very low income). The release will be in accordance with Federal Regulations. A family must meet both of the characteristics of a "Level of Preference". If the First Level of Preference releases do not satisfy the regulations regarding extremely low-income families, releases will be done at the second Level of Preference and then to the Third Level of Preference until the 75% extremely low-income requirement is met.

There were 490 homeless individuals in family households containing both adults and children. For this group, 461 of the individuals were sheltered, while 9 families comprising 29 individuals were not unsheltered. Additionally, there were 126 homeless veterans counted throughout the entire county. For this population, most are unsheltered (77) compared to sheltered (49). Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. The Riverside County Point in Time Count for the year 2022 only provided demographic data for the unsheltered population and not the sheltered population. Overall, the results for the unsheltered population are as follows: • Race • 54% White13% Black/African American10% Multiple Races3% American Indian or Alaska Native1% Asian1% Pacific Islander • Ethnicity • 30% Hispanic24% Not Hispanic47% Unknown Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Overall, the County saw 3,316 homeless persons in 2022. This includes 1,980 unsheltered (60%) and 1,336 sheltered (40%). This represents an 8% decrease in unsheltered homeless for the County since 2020. For the City, all 26 homeless persons were unsheltered. Discussion: Overall, the homeless population has risen since 2020. However, the increase is largely due to a massive rise in sheltered individuals. This total for sheltered individuals has increased 83% since 2020, while the unsheltered population has decreased 8% since 2020. Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 44 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction: Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: Elderly and Frail Elderly Persons In total, the elderly population (65+) represents one third (33%) of the City’s overall population. This is much higher than the State average of 15%. There are 17,033 elderly individuals in this group. In fact, the City’s population of individuals 75+ years of age (8,406; 16% of population) is larger than the State average of 65+ individuals. Finally, individuals that are at least 85 years of age represent 5% of the City population. People with Disabilities (Mental, Physical, Developmental) An estimated 7,701 percent of the population was disabled in 2017. Overall, 59% of these individuals were 65 years of age or older. The most common disability types are as follows: • Hearing: 3,112 • Vision: 1,532 • Cognitive: 2,298 • Ambulatory: 3,673 • Self-Care: 1,369 • Independent Living: 2,448 People with Alcohol or other Drug Addictions Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 45 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) In February 2018, the Riverside University Health System – Public Health Epidemiology and Program Evaluation reported on Overdose and Opioid Deaths in Riverside County. The report found that drug overdoses increased 51.8 percent between 2006 and 2015.4 Deaths involving opioidâ¿ÂÂÂ•related overdoses rose 10 percent between 2011 and 2015, and heroin related deaths rose by 80 percent during that same time period. There has not been an updated report since 2018. However, in 2022 data was published for alcohol related deaths. It was found that on average 534 alcohol related deaths occurred in the County each year from 2010 to 2020. Overall, alcohol-related mortality increased by 91% since 2010. Victims of Domestic Violence Pinpointing specific numbers of domestic violence victims is difficult due to the lack of reporting and other mitigating factors. Shelter from the Storm, a local Domestic Violence shelter, cited that nearly a quarter of American women report being survivors of domestic violence. Additionally, there is a lack of data for Palm Desert on the number of individuals in this group as it pertains to victims of domestic violence or victims of human trafficking. The Point in Time count report did not specify numbers for these populations, and there is no information on housing options for these populations within the County Housing Inventory Count. However, there are State databases for supportive services in place for individuals in these circumstances. For example, The National Network for Ending Domestic Violence publishes annual reports by State for counts of domestic violence victims and cases. The 2021 Annual report found that across the State, 4,533 victims are served across the state each day. However, there were still 1,071 unmet requests for services across the State in 2021. Consultation backed up the need for additional services for these populations. What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined? The top housing and supportive service needs were determined by data analysis and the results of the Palm Desert Community Outreach Survey for the 2023-2028 Consolidated Plan The top five needs for each category are: • Housing Needs Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 46 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) • Affordable Rental Housing (65% of survey respondents)Senior Housing (49%)Energy Efficiency Improvements (46%)Down Payment Assistance (23%)Supportive Housing (22%) • Supportive Service Needs • Homeless Services (38%)Senior Services (37%)Services for Very Low-Income Families (32%)Transportation Services (31%)Youth Services (30%) Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: The Riverside County Epidemiology Report for 2021 stated that there were 10,782 individuals with HIV in the County. This represented a rate of 435.1 cases per 100,000 people. This is an increase from 422.0 in the year 2020. Additionally, rates are higher in the County than the State overall. The State’s rate in 2021 was only 348.1 per 100,000. If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons.

Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 49 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Housing Market Analysis MA-05 Overview Housing Market Analysis Overview: The number of housing units in Palm Desert increased by 7.9 percent between 2010 and 2017. Meanwhile, housing costs have continued to rise for renters. However, they have significantly decreased for homeowners. Single family home valuations have decreased significantly since 2010 to $328,300. In addition, the number of vacant units have continued to be extreme in the City. Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 50 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) MA-10 Number of Housing Units – 91.210(a)&(b)(2) Introduction For 2017 ACS Data, there are 39,800 housing units in the City. However, only 23,978 are occupied. This means about 40% of the housing stock is considered vacant. This points the nature of Palm Desert being a seasonal attraction for families.

There is a lack of smaller housing options in the City. These options can be helpful to lower housing costs since smaller units are generally more affordable. Additionally, the City has many single elderly households and household size is small for the City (average: 2.14). Therefore, more smaller units can help create more achievable housing that fits the population. There are 10,110 households or units that have at least one housing problem associated with them. This could mean unaffordability, overcrowding, or inadequate facilities. This is about 42% of all households in Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 51 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) the City. These at-need households will be targeted by the City’s CDBG funds to create suitable living environments and promote affordable housing. Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. No Section 8 contracts exist within the City of Palm Desert, only individual voucher assistance. No units are expected to be lost Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? As seen in the Needs Assessment section, as well as information gathered from public input, current housing does not meet the needs of the population. This is seen most markedly in the rate of cost burdens in the City. In 2017, an estimated 39 percent of the population was cost burdened. Renters and low-income households are more likely to be impacted by cost burdens and are therefore most likely to not have housing units that meet their needs. There are extremely high rates of cost burden for LMI households, including severe cost burden. These numbers make it clear that the available housing units do not meet the affordability needs of the population. Describe the need for specific types of housing: The highest rated needs for housing include affordable rental housing, senior housing, energy efficiency improvements, down payment assistance, and supportive housing. The emphasis on the need for more affordable and senior friendly housing reflects the findings in the Needs Assessment that found the high rate of cost burden for renter households, as well the large senior population in the City. Discussion About 40% of the City’s housing stock is considered to be vacant. This amount of units compared to actual population has lowered the demand for home ownership and decreased home values. Conversely, rental costs are up across all levels, and affordability is hard to find for all LMI groups.

As show by the housing needs and cost burden sections in the Needs Assessment, a large portion of the population faces housing challenges. LMI Households are particularly prone to these issues. For example, 83% of extremely low-income households face a housing cost burden. Additionally, this section provides data on unit affordability. The housing affordability table shows there are only 270 affordable rental units for the population making 0-30% AMI despite there being 2,875 households in this bracket. Similarly, the table shows there are only 1,100 units affordable to those making 30-50% AMI despite there being 2,145 households in this group. For these two brackets alone, that means there is a shortage of 3,650 affordable units. How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? Palm Desert has seen an increase in rental costs of 13% since 2009. Additionally, rental cost burden is higher than owner cost burden. If trends continue, rental affordability will continue to be a priority for the City. This is also a priority of the community, as it was listed as the top housing need. Interestingly, the median home value has substantially decreased since 2009. In previous years, it had risen. However, if rents continue to become untenable, then the homeownership market may pick back up as an alternative. How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The Fair Market Rent (FMR) and HOME rents may not be sufficient to meet the housing needs of households in Palm Desert. These rates will still be difficult to achieve for many LMI families. This may be especially true for larger families that require larger units. This only increases the need to produce more affordable housing. Discussion The cost of rental housing has continued to rise in Palm Desert, leaving many low to moderate income households without suitable housing options. This is reflected in the proportion of lower income households facing cost burdens and other housing problems. If prices continue to rise at the rate they have been, the City will see more households in need of affordable housing options. While home values are decreasing, they are still unattainable for many LMI families.

The following section describes the conditions of the housing stock in the City. HUD defines housing “conditions” similarly to the definition of housing problems discussed in the Needs Assessment. These conditions are: 1. More than one person per room; 2. Cost burden greater than 30 percent; 3. Lack of complete plumbing; and 4. Lack of complete kitchen facilities. Definitions Units that are classified as substandard condition are in poor condition and do not meet all state and local codes. Units that are substandard condition but are suitable for rehabilitation are both structurally and financially feasible to rehabilitate. Standard condition is a unit that meets all state and local codes.

Additionally, there is a chunk of older units in the City’s housing stock that may demand some updates. This includes 35% of owner-occupied units and 40% of renter occupied units. Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards According to the risk of lead-based paint hazard table, there are 1,513 units with children in the City that were built before 1980.

The CoC has a subcommittee related to identifying and coordinating employment and related resources for homeless people and that case managers ensure that homeless people and especially chronically homeless people are accessing benefit programs such as: Food Stamps (CalFresh), MediCal, CalWORKs, mental health services, Social Security Disability Income (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Veteran’s benefits. Accessing mainstream services and benefits also includes assisting them in gathering the necessary documentation to apply/receive benefits and ensuring they have adequate transportation to get to appointments, job locations, etc. Whether or not a homeless person is receiving these benefits is reported in HMIS and tracked in an Annual Performance Review as a performance measure that is used to rate and rank each homeless program within the CoC. List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP -40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations. The County of Riverside Department of Public Social Services, Homeless Unit and CoC Collaborative Agent’s Housing Inventory Chart is attached that outlines the services facilities. Based on the Housing Inventory Chart it is apparent that there are service providers that have been established and create a wellâ¿ÂÂÂ•rounded approach to addressing the needs of homeless, those atâ¿ÂÂÂ•risk of becoming homeless, those with special needs, etc. Through the combined efforts of the services providers, the County of Riverside, and Continuum of Care there exists a coordinated effort to meet the specific needs and tracking of services taking place for targeted groups. The list reflects the organization name, type of beds, number of beds, who service(s) are provided to, etc. In addition, many of these providers also offer needed support services (e.g., food, counseling, health, job training, etc.) or partner with such agencies as the County of Riverside Department of Mental Health or Department of Public Social Services and even other nonâ¿ÂÂÂ•profit organizations to provide services to clients that they may need and are not offered through their organizations. Many providers are now working together to develop a more coordinated approach to providing services and assisting those in need. The City also contracts with the County of Riverside to provide street outreach services working in coordination with city departments to engage those experiencing homelessness in the city and link them to shelter, housing and supportive services. Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 61 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction There are a variety of services available in the community for special needs populations, including at risk youth, seniors, substance abuse, and persons with disabilities. Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs Supportive housing is needed by several populations: Elderly persons (including the frail elderly) and persons with physical or developmental disabilities need in-home supportive services, often with tasks related to daily living, such as cleaning and meal preparation. According to the 2017 ACS, around 15 percent of Palm Desert’s population has some sort of disability. Existing housing for people in this category may require modifications to make it suitable, with improvements such as accessible toilets, grab bars, walk-in showers, and walk-in tubs. In addition to difficulties finding housing that meets their needs, this population can also face discrimination based on their disabilities. Foster youth aging out of the foster system need life skills training, job training, and educational programs. Persons with HIV/AIDS sometimes face bias and misunderstanding about their illness, which may affect their access to housing. Proper enforcement of fair housing regulations should be followed. Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing Through the CoC Discharge Planning Committee, the CoC was able to form an agreement with various agencies to provide coordinate efforts to ensure that persons facing homelessness after leaving institutional care are transported to an appropriate facility possessing the supportive services required and with prior approval and knowledge of the organization. The Cooperative Agreement approved in December 2011 was entered into by and between the County of Riverside Department of Public Social Services, County Department of Mental, Hospital Association of Southern California, Riverside County Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Sheriff’s Department, Riverside County Veterans’ Services, and Community Connect of Riverside County for the establishment of a collaborative that will support and participate in the Riverside County Continuum of Care Coalition Discharge Planning Committee efforts to establish a coordinated and collaborative discharge planning system to individuals leaving institutional care.

Governmental Constraints Palm Desert provides expeditious processing for planning entitlements. The city encourages the concurrent processing of applications and can complete the process on most projects in 3 to 6 months, depending on the approving body and complexity of the application. The City requires tract map review, approval for all single-family home tracts and a precise plan for multi-family projects, both can be processed concurrently with any other permit. For either, the review process is a simple analysis that assures that the project's design meets the requirements of the zone in which it occurs. Applications are circulated to other City departments for comments. The Precise Plan is then reviewed by the Architectural Review Commission (ARC) and approved by the Planning Commission. The ARC provides technical review, including parking, trash enclosures and similar standards, and landscaping plans for water efficiency. The ARC meetings are public, ARC review is scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks of an application being found complete, and precedes Planning Commission hearing by 4 weeks. Public notice and mailings are made 10 days prior to a Planning Commission hearing. The findings needed for approval of either a tract map or precise plan pertain to the project's consistency with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; public health and safety; the site's physical ability to accommodate the project. The findings are not subjective and do not pose a constraint to development. The average processing time for a typical application is 4 to 6 months, the recently approved Montage single family homes, which received approval in 6 months, which is consistent with most Valley cities, and does not represent a constraint. The City has a building permit streamlining process, for a fee, and allows "at risk" building permit applications, which can be submitted immediately following ARC review, and prior to Planning Commission approval. The city has not received any requests for streamlined processing under SB 35, and to date has relied on the requirements of law should an SB 35 project be proposed. In order to encourage development of affordable housing under SB 35, Program 1.H has been added to require the establishment of an SB 35 streamlining process within the first year of the planning period. Individual single-family homes do not require a public hearing and are approved by the Planning Department as part of the usual building plan checking process. Building permits are processed, generally in one to four months. Development of residential projects under the City's recent General Plan update have been consistent with, the densities allowed under the Land Use Map. The City's processes are not a constraint to the provision of affordable housing. The city posts current fees and exactions that are applicable to proposed housing development projects on the City's website, consistent with Government Code. Each fee is described in detail in subsequent sections of the Housing Element. The table is not meant to be exhaustive but provides a general representation of typical development fees. Total fees for a 32-unit subdivision are estimated at approximately $19,131 per unit, 63% of which ($11,908) are impact fees, which are not controlled by the City. Total fees for a 32-unit apartment complex are estimated at $7,589 Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 64 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) per unit, 73% of which ($5,487) are non-City fees. For an affordable housing apartment project with an average per unit cost of $208,200 per unit, the City's fees represent 3.6% of the cost of that unit, and arc not a constraint to development. Furthermore, the city can waive fees for affordable housing projects, except for fees not imposed by the city such as MSHCP fees, which further reduce the cost.

Overall, there are 15,335 employed workers in Palm Desert according to ACS Data for 2017. The top employment sectors are: 1. Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations: 4,308 (26%) 2. Education and Health Care Services: 3,361 (20%) 3. Retail Trade: 2,012 (12%) Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 68 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: The Palm Desert Community Outreach Survey for the 2023-2028 Consolidated Plan identified the top business needs as: 1. Job Creation 2. Employment Training 3. Small Business Loans 4. Rehabilitation of Commercial Buildings 5. Façade Improvements Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. The City is currently unaware of any planned investments that may create substantial job or business growth. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? As noted in past Consolidated Planning processes, there is an on going need for improved education and training for the workforce to meet the needs of local businesses. When looking at the employed population of at least 16 years of age, the City is lacking in population for advanced degrees which may make it difficult to fill some jobs in the City. Additionally, workforce training initiatives will continue to be a focus for the City.Overall, just 7,540 people out of 23,060 in the workforce have a Bachelor’s degree or higher. That is only one third of the workforce. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. The Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) was approved by the City Council in January of 2013. The EDSP provides an assessment of existing conditions that drive the economy of Palm Desert and is intended to help local stakeholders and City staff implement strategies that contribute to the City’s economic health. The EDSP is created to assist in the enhancement of Palm Desert’s business climate and support economic growth with the following goals: Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 69 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) • Support existing business through a variety of economic efforts, partnerships, business outreach and special events. • Assist in the creation of new retail opportunities and commercial development. • Support expansion of additional resort/hospitality development and improve competitiveness of existing hotel product to attract tourist and conventions. • Provide recreational, cultural and entertainment opportunities and promote Palm Desert’s quality of life and amenities to encourage growth and tourism. • Support the City’s education institutions as an important factor in the continued and diversified economic growth of Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley. • Support the expansion of business through the promotion of new clean and renewable energy and to protect the City’s quality of life and natural and financial resources. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. No. Discussion Overall, the most dominant employment sector for the City is Arts, Entertainment, and Accommodations due to the presence of many resorts and resort-like businesses in the area. Additionally, most of the workforce (67%) is comprised of workers that have not obtained a Bachelor’s degree. Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 70 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") Housing problems are significantly more prominent among low-income households and those in poverty. There are three census tracts with predominant shares of households that are LMI. These census tracts are 449.19, 449.11, and 451.18. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low -income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") While there are areas in the City that are more likely to have racial or ethnic minorities, only Hispanic households are located in certain areas at a disproportionate rate. A disproportionate rate is considered to be more than 10 percentage points higher than the jurisdiction average. There is a disproportionate share of Hispanic households in the central part of the City in census tract 451.08. Households that are LMI are discussed above. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? These central areas of the City tends to have more renter households than owner households, with some areas having more than half the households as renters. These areas are also characterized by lower rents and home values. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? These areas are adjacent to a variety of amenities in the City, including access to the City schools and parks, as well as grocery stores, and service providers. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? Areas with high concentrations of low income and poverty level households may present an opportunity for investment through services and public facility funding.

Responsible Entity Responsible Entity Type Role Geographic Area Served PALM DESERT Government Planning Jurisdiction Table 51 - Institutional Delivery Structure Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The City’s Finance Department will be the primary department responsible for the implementation of the Consolidated Plan. Staff members will implement the Consolidated Plan with the assistance and cooperation of other departments, agencies, developers, entities, non-profit organizations, for profit organizations, public institutions, etc. Since specific, external partners are unknown at this time and what role they will play in the future, potential partners as well as the strengths and gaps are identified and based on a broad spectrum of situations. However, the City will work with in and all potential partners where and when possible, to fulfill the needs and goals identified within the Consolidated Plan. The primary gaps in the institutional delivery system fall within a lack of resources and a lack of coordinated efforts across public and private service providers. In recent years, some of these gaps have been addressed with coordinated efforts through the CoC, the implementation of the 211 Community Connect System, and improved organization among organizations. However, the needs in the community continue to outweigh the available resources.

However, some may only require or want limited services such as temporary shelter during extreme weather conditions, food, a place to cleanup, and medical services when needed. This network of services provides a variety of housing and service need for homeless and at risk households. Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above The delivery system is limited by funding and coordination efforts. However, the City continues to work with organizations to fill the gaps in the delivery system and create a comprehensive network of care. There are insufficient resources to expand services or fill gaps that may exist, including access to healthcare and mental health services in the community. However, the City, County, CoC, service providers, etc. will continue to partner and leverage funds to provide needed services to all target groups, but on a limited basis. Services provided will be determined by the service providers given that it is these organizations that develop the programs and services and associated budget required to operate. Through continued partnerships, all parties obtain a clear picture not only of the service needs but the financial need as well. Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs In addition to those strategies identified above within the Strategic Plan, the City will address gaps as follows in any combination that provides the maximum benefit and/or change: Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 84 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) • Work with service providers to develop programs and locate sources of funding to maintain and/or expand services where and when possible • The City has created a Social Services Coordinator position to address gaps and promote development of an active system of care to address the needs of those experiencing homelessness in the City. • Work to leverage funds between organizations where they will have the greatest impact • Work with service providers to develop job training programs and employment options • Work to continue improving political will to address homeless • Continue partnerships and collaboration between agencies and service providers • Continue to work with CoC to address needs of homeless and special needs services • The City has contracted with Riverside University Health System to provide street outreach services in the City • The City will continue to provide CDBG, City General Funds, Housing Program Funds, and other types of funds that may become available to address homeless, non homeless (housing) special needs, affordable housing, etc. Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 85 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) SP-45 Goals Summary – 91.215(a)(4) Goals Summary Information Sort Order Goal Name Start Year End Year Category Geographic Area Needs Addressed Funding Goal Outcome Indicator 1 Support Essential Senior Services 2023 2028 Non-Homeless Special Needs Citywide Affordable Senior Housing (Increase) Increase Senior Services and Programming Senior Transportation (Enhance Options) CDBG: $150,000 Public service activities other than Low/Moderate Income Housing Benefit: 3000 Persons Assisted 2 Support Public and Community Facilities Improvemen 2023 2028 Non-Housing Community Development Citywide Increase Senior Services and Programming CDBG: $1,256,124 Public Facility or Infrastructure Activities other than Low/Moderate Income Housing Benefit: 50000 Persons Assisted 3 Preserve and Enhance Affordable Housing 2023 2028 Affordable Housing Citywide Affordable Senior Housing (Increase) Increase Affordable Housing Reduce vacancies in the City Rental Assistance CDBG: $100,000 Public service activities for Low/Moderate Income Housing Benefit: 5 Households Assisted 4 Support Fair Housing Initiatives 2023 2028 Citywide Reduce vacancies in the City Rental Assistance CDBG: $110,000 Public service activities for Low/Moderate Income Housing Benefit: 2000 Households Assisted Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 86 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Sort Order Goal Name Start Year End Year Category Geographic Area Needs Addressed Funding Goal Outcome Indicator 5 Fund Vital Community and Homeless Services 2023 2028 Homeless Citywide Increase Senior Services and Programming CDBG: $42,500 Homeless Person Overnight Shelter: 300 Persons Assisted Homelessness Prevention: 2000 Persons Assisted Table 53 – Goals Summary Goal Descriptions 1 Goal Name Support Essential Senior Services Goal Description 2 Goal Name Support Public and Community Facilities Improvemen Goal Description The City of Palm Desert will enhance public facilities through funding improvement project to the benefit of low to moderate income households in the City. 3 Goal Name Preserve and Enhance Affordable Housing Goal Description 4 Goal Name Support Fair Housing Initiatives Goal Description 5 Goal Name Fund Vital Community and Homeless Services Goal Description Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 87 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.315(b)(2) Not Appliciable Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 88 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) SP-50 Public Housing Accessibility and Involvement – 91.215(c) Need to Increase the Number of Accessible Units (if Required by a Section 504 Voluntary Compliance Agreement) Not Applicable.

Governmental Constraints Palm Desert provides expeditious processing for planning entitlements. The city encourages the concurrent processing of applications and can complete the process on most projects in 3 to 6 months, depending on the approving body and complexity of the application. The City requires tract map review, approval for all single-family home tracts and a precise plan for multi-family projects, both can be processed concurrently with any other permit. For either, the review process is a simple analysis that assures that the project's design meets the requirements of the zone in which it occurs. Applications are circulated to other City departments for comments. The Precise Plan is then reviewed by the Architectural Review Commission (ARC) and approved by the Planning Commission. The ARC provides technical review, including parking, trash enclosures and similar standards, and landscaping plans for water efficiency. The ARC meetings are public, ARC review is scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks of an application being found complete, and precedes Planning Commission hearing by 4 weeks. Public notice and mailings are made 10 days prior to a Planning Commission hearing. The findings needed for approval of either a tract map or precise plan pertain to the project's consistency with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; public health and safety; the site's physical ability to accommodate the project. The findings are not subjective and do not pose a constraint to development. The average processing time for a typical application is 4 to 6 months, the recently approved Montage single family homes, which received approval in 6 months, which is consistent with most Valley cities, and does not represent a constraint. The City has a building permit streamlining process, for a fee, and allows "at risk" building permit applications, which can be submitted immediately following ARC review, and prior to Planning Commission approval. The city has not received any requests for streamlined processing under SB 35, and to date has relied on the requirements of law should an SB 35 project be proposed. In order to encourage development of affordable housing under SB 35, Program 1.H has been added to require the establishment of an SB 35 streamlining process within the first year of the planning period. Individual single-family homes do not require a public hearing and are approved by the Planning Department as part of the usual building plan checking process. Building permits are processed, generally in one to four months. Development of residential projects under the City's recent General Plan update have been consistent with, the densities allowed under the Land Use Map. The City's processes are not a constraint to the provision of affordable housing. The city posts current fees and exactions that are applicable to proposed housing development projects on the City's website, consistent with Government Code. Each fee is described in detail in subsequent sections of the Housing Element. The table is not meant to be exhaustive but provides a general representation of typical development fees. Total fees for a 32-unit subdivision are estimated at approximately $19,131 per unit, 63% of which ($11,908) are impact fees, which are not controlled by the City. Total fees for a 32-unit apartment complex are estimated at $7,589 Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 90 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) per unit, 73% of which ($5,487) are non-City fees. For an affordable housing apartment project with an average per unit cost of $208,200 per unit, the City's fees represent 3.6% of the cost of that unit, and arc not a constraint to development. Furthermore, the city can waive fees for affordable housing projects, except for fees not imposed by the city such as MSHCP fees, which further reduce the cost. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing In the City’s Housing Element 2021-2029, permitting process and infrastructure requirements are comparable to those of surrounding Coachella Valley cities. Although some application fees may have increased, they remain average as compared to other jurisdictions in the region. General Plan and zoning land use designations allow for all types of development and a broad range of densities, including vertical mixed use. The City’s housing policies and programs have been established and implemented, as necessary, to assure that governmental constraints are minimized.

The CoC has implemented a Coordinated Entry System (CES) to ensure appropriate intervention is utilized to serve those living on the streets and providing for a prioritization of vulnerability and linkage to community resources and housing based on the vulnerability prioritization. Within the CoC, there are several outreach teams from County, cities, and nonprofit homeless providers that cover specific populations or geographic regions in the County. There are also specific outreach teams serving the mentally ill, veterans, youth and chronic homeless. The teams collaborate weekly and each conducts daily mobile outreach and provides client services focused on the chronically homeless populations living on the streets to connect them with supportive services and achieve housing stability. The Behavioral Health Systems Department has outreach peer specialists that perform initial field assessments, in depth assessments, referrals to all contacts, linkage to various community organizations. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Housing First approach adopted by the County and CoC requires that homeless are helped into permanent housing or rapid rehousing as soon as possible. Transitional housing beds have begun to decrease in the county and permanent housing is increasing because of reallocations made in the HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application and the CoC’s success in obtaining new funding for Permanent Supportive Housing. Both Transitional Housing and Emergency shelters focus on lessening the time that a homeless person or family’s length of time homeless (LOTH) in the shelter by effective and quick assessment of homeless clients and getting them stabilized into permanent housing with intensive case management initially and support in the initial phase of residency in permanent housing. This period will serve as a time to address the other needs to maintain self sufficiency either by accessing mainstream benefits, employment or medical or mental health support. The CoC works with the Economic Development Agency and other public funding agencies to integrate CoC Programs, Emergency Solutions Grant, Social Services to Veteran Families (SSVF), and CDBG funding to increase the number of individuals and families with children with rapid rehousing. In addition, other non McKinney Vento funding sources, such as Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP), funded under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be matched as a source for rental/mortgage assistance for families that are homeless or at risk of homelessness in the county’s strategy to meet this goal. Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 92 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. The CoC implemented a countywide Coordinated Entry System to assess homeless individuals/families using the VI SPDAT that tracks the length of time a client has been on the streets or in Emergency Shelter. DPSS use HUD CoC Program planning grant funding to measure system wide performance in HMIS, such as length of time homeless. This is used to help the CoC prioritize and house those with longest length of time homeless. The planning process also included working with the CoC Standards and Evaluation Committee to continue developing strategies to prioritize CH individuals/families with longest time homeless and most severe needs, including: • Increasing the supply of permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing; • Housing individuals/families identified in CES with the longest time homeless first; and • Using HMIS data to record episodes of homelessness and destination at program exit to track agency and system performance. The CoC has also adopted a “Housing First” approach that is based on new evidenced based and promising practices and endorsed by HUD to place a homeless individual or family in permanent housing and provide services to keep them stably housed. Homeless CoC youth providers have implemented outreach and service-based events in the communities to draw homeless youth, unaccompanied and transitional age into contact with services available to them. The Operation SafeHouse is the only CoC youth provider that has opened a permanent supportive housing program called Harrison House, for transitional age youth, in the eastern desert region of Riverside County. Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 93 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs The County of Riverside CoC Discharge Policy is mandated by the State and followed by the CoC. The CoC established a Discharge Planning Committee, responsible for implementing policies and protocols and coordinating with various organizations, to ensure that persons being discharged from a publicly- funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. The goals are to identify discharge housing needs inclusive of housing and supportive services and to link the individual with community resources that will include mental health services, substance abuse support, and housing. The Hospital Association of Southern California Inland Area serves as the lead agency on the Discharge Planning Committee to facilitate communication regarding the discharge planning needs of homeless persons from acute care hospitals. The Riverside County University Health System – Behavioral Health, collaborates with DPSS and the CoC in the coordination and implementation of discharge planning for homeless individuals disabled by a serious mental health and/or substance abuse disorder(s). Foster Care and Extended Foster Care programs help transition dependent youth who are emancipating from foster care to independent living. The Department of Public Social Services, Riverside Sheriff’s, and Probation Department support the Continuum of Care’s mission of working towards reintegrating persons leaving correctional facilities to community-based living and self sufficiency.

This minimizes lead- based paint hazards in new homes. Step 2: The City will work with the County, residents or others to address the issue of Lead based Paint Hazards through testing and abatement efforts on a case by case basis. State law as amended under Section 302 requires housing agencies to conduct random samples of dwelling units, common areas, and exteriors to determine the presence of lead based paint hazards in pre 1979 family developments where children live or are expected to visit. Step 3: The City’s Housing Department and Building and Safety Department will ensure that regulations related to enforcement of lead based paint are carried out on City projects and on private projects, when possible, through remodels and rehabilitations of older units. Distribution of educational brochures as well as inspections will be undertaken given specific situation. Step 4: The City will also refer calls to Citadel a firm that assist residents and businesses with Lead Based Paint, mold, and other hazards. Step 5: The City contracts with Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, which will also distribute brochures and attend events to educate and increase awareness of this hazard. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? The action noted above relate in that if lead poisoning did occur or was reported to the City, these are the steps that the City would undertake to remediate lead poisoning and hazards. However, there have been no reports of lead poisoning and hazards to the City in recent years. The City addresses all Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 95 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) reported cases as they arise; however, educational materials are distributed and available throughout the year through the City’s Building and Safety Department and Housing Department. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? The actions noted above are part of an approved procedure that the City follows to remediate cases. In addition, it is standard practice to work with other agencies specifically established to address these types of cases. The City also contracts with Riverside County Fair Housing Council to educate residents and increase awareness as part of the City’s annual contract to provide services.

As a result, the Community Action Program was created through the County of Riverside. Since 1979, the Community Action Program has assisted low income residents in their efforts to become self sufficient and has demonstrated a commitment to the principals of community self help and works diligently to increase awareness of its services and participation among those that are interested and have a desire to improve their quality of life. The Community Action Partnership of Riverside County provides services to address poverty. Such programs are designed based on needs within the community. The services are provided through the County of Riverside and address such issues as (1) dispute resolution center, (2) Riverside County Individual Development Accounts, (3) utility assistance and weatherization, and (4) tax preparation assistance. These programs are designed to educate participating persons on how to improve their quality of life and a means to becoming financially stable. Community Action also assists other public institutes, non profit organizations, and residents in their efforts to eliminate the conditions that bring about poverty. The broadest mission of the City will be to address the root causes of poverty and to eliminate the conditions of poverty through well planned programs and services, where and when it can. Through programs offered through the City, service providers, and Community Action homeless, very low to low income individuals and families will attain the assistance, skills, knowledge, and motivation necessary to achieve dignity and self sufficiency if they so choose to take advantage of the programs offered. In response to the needs and issues identified throughout the Consolidated Plan, the City’s has outlined how it will address poverty. Since many needs and associated programs of low income (non-poverty) are similar to those considered at the poverty level, they will be addressed in a similar fashion as outlined throughout the Consolidated Plan such as: • Employment and Education: Jobs, job training, technical assistance, adult literacy, and life skills • Housing: Affordable Housing; home repair and rehabilitation; emergency, transition, and permanent supportive housing • Safety Net Services: Food panties, basic nutrition, counseling, financial management, and other forms of assistance when identified The various programs in conjunction with other programs offered within the community and Coachella Valley as a whole benefit all persons considered low income and especially those identified as facing poverty.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will continue to work toward the reduction/elimination of obstacles to meet underserved needs through the funding of various organizations that are established to provide direct services to those in need. The City is not equipped to provide direct services; therefore, funding organizations that do is essential to our success in addressing the identified goals and objectives. The City will continue to partner with service providers to address obstacles and address barriers that exist. In addition, the City works with the County of Riverside, the CoC, local agencies, nonprofits, etc. to address various aspects related to CoC programs and activities, as well as obstacles that face the underserved in general. However, the CoC addresses issues relative to homelessness, mental and physical illnesses, domestic violence, etc. and has a wide range of members where collaboration in other areas is an option. Through these working relationships, obstacles such as lack of communication between agencies, improved services, limited resources, tracking and monitoring, and other needed resources are obtained, gaps in services are better identified, and there is a more cohesive approach to identifying and resolving issues. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City and the Palm Desert Housing Authority will continue to maintain the existing affordable housing stock through the funding sources identified previously; however, as noted with the elimination of redevelopment agencies, there is no longer what is considered “20% Set Aside Funds”. Therefore, maintaining existing properties and programs will be the primary focus, provided funding is available, for some time to come. However, new projects and programs will be planned and implemented where and when possible. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City’s Building & Safety and Housing departments distribute informational pamphlets on Lead Based Paint Hazards and refer all calls to the County of Riverside Environmental Health Department. The City addresses this issue on a case-by-case basis through multiple steps. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City is continuing to team up with service providers to provide assistance for poverty level families, including funding food and services options during the Program Year. In addition, the City will seek out additional partnerships for programs that encourage self-sufficiency including employment and training, housing options, and safety net programs. Consolidated Plan PALM DESERT 118 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City will continue to work with outside agencies to maintain and develop relationships, including with nonprofit organizations, private businesses, the CoC, and nonprofit organizations in the region. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City will continue to work with various County departments, agencies, and nonprofit organizations to identify and carry out goals and objectives of the CDBG Program, and to create a more cooperative working relationship with all interested parties. The City invites these groups to attend public hearings, community meetings, and special meetings that address specific programs and projects. The City has an approved Citizen’s Participation Plan that it follows in this regard. In addition, City staff regularly attends CoC meetings that involve multiple organizations and various County Departments as well as other local jurisdictions wherein discussions are held on homelessness as well as supportive services to other at-risk groups of individuals and families.
