CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action
plan. 91.520(a)
Overview
The Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Consolidated Annual Performance Report (CAPER) describes
and evaluates how the County of San Bernardino invested formula funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to meet affordable housing and
community development needs from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. This report also
evaluates the progress the County of San Bernardino has made in the first four years of its
five year 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, available on the San Bernardino County website at
http://www.sbcountyadvantage.com.
The County of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency – Department of Community
Development and Housing is the lead agency responsible for facilitating the development
and implementation of the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plans and Annual
CAPERs. The information included in this report has been prepared and provided based on
information reported from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME
Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs.
From July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, the County made significant investments instrumental
in advancing San Bernardino County's community development and affordable housing
needs through the use of its CDBG, HOME, and ESG entitlement grants.
CDBG Accomplishments
The CDBG accomplishments are summarized below and outlines the outcomes and
performance measure requirements and the County’s progress towards meeting each
requirement, by project type. This section of the FY 2013-2014 Performance Evaluation
Report conforms to the outcome and performance measure requirements identified in the
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan. The following is an abbreviated summary of the County’s
achievements through June 30, 2014.
The County exceeded the annual goals for Revitalizing Neighborhoods through code
enforcement, infrastructure improvements, and public facility improvements. The
following activities were undertaken in FY 2013-2014:
CAPER
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
County of San Bernardino
5 ADA accessibility and improvement projects were funded in FY 2013-2014
A total of 60 public facility projects were undertaken in FY 2013-2014, of those
projects 27 were completed and the other 33 were underway. These projects
included the renovation of the Twentynine Palms senior center, street improvements
in target area in the Cities of Colton and Loma Linda, parks and recreational facilities
at Knott’s Sky Park, sidewalk improvements, and historic preservation projects.
An acquisition project is currently underway and is expected to be completed during
the next Action Plan period.
5 clearance and demolition projects were conducted in the City of Needles and other
County CDBG target areas.
Street and drainage Improvements in the City of Yucaipa
6 code enforcement projects were implemented in various target areas in the Cities
of Adelanto, Big Bear Lake, Grand Terrace, Highland, Montclair, and the Town of
Yucca Valley.
A total of 22 public service projects were undertaken in FY 2013-2014. The Public
Services included crime awareness, tenant/landlord counseling, childcare services,
health services, senior services, youth services, transportation services, and
operating costs of homeless programs.
HOME Accomplishments
The County of San Bernardino administers the HOME Program throughout unincorporated
areas of the County and in areas included in the HOME Consortia. HOME funding was
utilized by preserving existing housing stock and affordable housing units throughout the
HOME consortia. In FY 2013-2014, HUD allocated $2,115,297 in HOME funding to the
County, however, the County allocated $950,000 for new affordable housing projects
during the fiscal yea, completed two projects and two projects are in various stages of
completion.
ESG Accomplishments
In FY 2013-2014, the Economic Development Agency of San Bernardino County
administered the HUD-funded Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The funding was allocated
to subrecipients located throughout the County to deliver homeless prevention programs
and services for households that are either at-risk of or experiencing homelessness. The
County of San Bernardino, along with its subrecipients implemented the new ESG
CAPER

regulations. The County provided funding for homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing to reduce costs of affordable housing for homeless and at-risk families.

The County of San Bernardino exceeded its goal of Revitalizing Neighborhoods through
funding public facility and infrastructure improvement projects. However, the
accomplishment outcomes reported in the table below for public facility and infrastructure
improvement projects include FY 2012-2013 outcomes that were not included in the FY
2012-2013 CAPER. There were some goals that fell short of the intended goal. Others are
on track to be met after the final year of the Consolidated Plan.
The County of San Bernardino transitioned its Emergency Shelter Grant program to comply
with the Emergency Solutions Grant program as required by the Homeless Emergency
Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2012. The County identified
the following ESG goals in its FY2013-2014 Action Plan:
1) Outreach and assessment so we may identify service and housing needs and provide
a contact to the appropriate level of services;
2) Emergency shelter provides immediate and safe alternatives to living on the streets;
3) Transitional housing with supportive services and the development of skills that
will be needed once an individual or family are permanently housed;
4) Permanent housing and permanent supportive housing to provide individuals and
families with an affordable place to live with services.
The County served a total of 2,218 homeless and at-risk for homelessness persons with ESG
funding this year. Of those persons served,
952 individuals were provided rental assistance through homelessness prevention
services which enabled at-risk families to remain stably housed,
198 individuals were provided permanent housing through the rapid re-housing
services;

The following table provides a summary of Consolidated Plan goals and the jurisdictions
progress towards accomplishing those goals. Because ESG goals were revised in
accordance with the HEARTH Act of 2012, ESG goals and outcomes are not reflected in this
table. ESG goals and outcomes are instead detailed in sections CR-60 through CR-75 of this

Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the
priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the
highest priority activities identified.
During FY 2013- 2014, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Plan initiatives and
funding focused on revitalizing neighborhoods, increasing services to at-risk populations,
and furthering fair housing. HOME initiatives were primarily addressed by expanding the
supply of affordable housing through the construction of rental housing. ESG initiatives
were primarily addressed by increasing decent housing by implementing the CoCare
system to provide overnight shelter, homelessness prevention, and housing for the
homeless.

Table 4 – Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments
Narrative:
The County is divided into six areas: west, east and central valleys, mountain communities,
high desert and the Morongo Basin. The County identified CDBG, HOME, and ESG resources
to assist various unincorporated communities throughout the County and the 12
CAPER
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
11
County of San Bernardino
cooperating cities. These cities are Adelanto, Barstow, Big Bear Lake, Colton, Grand
Terrace, Highland, Loma Linda, Montclair, Needles, Twentynine Palms, Yucaipa and the
Town of Yucca Valley. HOME funds were also available for use in the 12 participating cities
and in the cities of Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, and Rialto which are included in the
HOME Consortia.
The prioritization of funding differs for each of the three formula grants. For CDBG
allocations, the relative priority of each geographic area, and subsequently its allocation of
CDBG funds, was based on each cities proportionate share of the County's population,
poverty and overcrowded housing. Approximately 74% of the CDBG allocation was divided
among the 12 participating cities and in County unincorporated. HOME funds were not
allocated geographically. HOME-funds were made available through a NOFA process
targeting the unincorporated areas of the County and the cooperating cities with no
priority area given distinction. ESG funds were allocated to serve in six areas of the county:
west, east and central valleys, mountain communities, High Desert and the Morongo Basin.
Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well
as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were
used to address the needs identified in the plan.
The CDBG program does not require matching funds, but CDBG funds are leveraged by
many other resources within the community. Many of these funding sources provided
leverage from private and public sources for the CDBG projects undertaken in FY 20132014. Subrecipients that received CDBG funding also received funding from federal, state,
local, and other resources.
ESG funds were leveraged, in part, by selecting sub-recipients that are established
homeless service providers with strong connections with various funding sources. ESG
subrecipients are required to match ESG funding with other funding on a dollar-for-dollar
match. ESG subrecipients used other private or public grants not used previously to match
another grant, the value of any donated materials, the value of any leases on buildings,
salaries paid to staff to carry out the program, and the value of the time and services
contributed by volunteers to carry out the program of the recipient at a rate of no greater
than $5 per hour.
HOME funds were leveraged through the use of gap financing. Developers identified and
secured primary funding sources prior to allocations being awarded. These HOME funds
CAPER

were leveraged and matched with Low Income Housing Tax Credits, Mental Health Subsidy

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in
meeting these goals.
During FY 2013-2014, the County met its annual goal of production of new affordable
housing units and rehab of existing units. Under the area of affordable housing for nonhomeless and special needs households, the County exceeded its goals by providing 570
affordable housing units for non-homeless households and 1,070 affordable housing units
for special needs households.
The County exceeded its goal for providing shelter, prevention, permanent and transitional
housing services by local nonprofit providers.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
Future Annual Action Plans will provide additional information on program changes that
are currently in development as the County continues to determine the needs of residents
in San Bernardino county.
Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income
persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e);
91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing
and ending homelessness through:
The County of San Bernardino invests Emergency Solutions Grant funds and other federal,
state, and local funds in programs and services that will meet the basic needs of the
homeless population. In 2013, the County continued to work collaboratively with other
public funders, businesses, community-based, and faith-based organizations to support
provider’s efforts for reducing and ending homelessness in San Bernardino county. As a
result of the County’s 2013 ESG allocation, 2,218 persons were assisted with emergency
housing services. Of this amount 952 persons were served with homeless prevention
activities, 198 persons received rapid re-housing services, and 1,070 persons received
shelter assistance.
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs.
Homeless services for the County of San Bernardino are administered through the San
Bernardino Continuum of Care (CoC) in which services are delivered via a communitybased network of organizations that work together to help homeless families and
individuals move toward self-sufficiency. The 2013 San Bernardino County Homeless
Count and Subpopulation Survey assisted the County in documenting the total number of
homeless persons and the number of homeless persons for several subpopulations for the
entire County which consists of 24 cities and unincorporated areas. The homeless count
conducted on January 24, 2013, was conducted with over 400 volunteers in shelters and
transitional housing programs throughout the county. Several agencies assisted in the
coordination of conducting the 2013 point-in-time count. Through the Continuum, teams
reach out to unsheltered homeless persons on the street to assess their needs and direct
them to the appropriate care and resources.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless
persons.
Developing housing for homeless individuals is one of the most challenging aspects of
affordable housing development. Many chronically homeless individuals need physical and
mental health services, in addition to housing, which makes it extremely difficult for local
providers to offer housing to homeless persons with the assurance that they will receive
needed services in a timely and sufficient manner. The San Bernardino CoC receives funds
CAPER
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)

County of San Bernardino
from several HUD CoC Homeless Assistance programs which includes: the Supportive
Housing Program, Shelter Plus Care Program, and the Section 8 Single Room Occupancy
(SRO) Program to address emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless
persons throughout the County.
Nevertheless, during FY 2013–2014, the County was committed to working with housing
and service providers to provide housing related resources needed to provide emergency
and transitional housing for homeless persons.
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 County of San Bernardino Continuum of Care acts as the process for identifying people
who are homeless and most in need of permanent supportive housing (PSH) services,
which include people who are chronically homeless, families with children, veterans, and
unaccompanied youth. The County and its partners continue to make progress in meeting
its goals for reducing and ending homelessness.
In addition, in 2013 the County of San Bernardino utilized $424,051 in ESG funds to
address the urgent needs of the homeless or near homeless. The need for emergency and
transitional housing is met using barracks style short-term shelters, scattered-site
transitional housing units, hotel/motel short-term overnight accommodations, and
dormitory-style transitional housing for single men. Programs offer access to a broad range
of other services including case management, employment assistance, life skills, health
care, child care, and transportation.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially
extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become
homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of
care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other
youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social
services, employment, education, or youth needs.
The County of San Bernardino Homeless Partnership 10-Year Planning Committee has
established and strengthened its discharge planning protocols among the key institutional
CAPER

County of San Bernardino
systems of care and supervision. The purpose of these protocols is to assist in eliminating
homelessness and assist persons from becoming homeless after being discharged from
publicly funded institutions. During FY 2013-2014 the County continued to review the
discharge protocols in place relative to the health care system (both public and private).

Narrative Description
Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino Programs and Services
Established in 1941, the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) is one
of the nation’s most progressive housing authorities in the Country. As the largest provider
of affordable housing in the County, HACSB manages programs with approximately 10,250
public housing units, Housing Choice Vouchers, and special purpose vouchers combined to
serve an excess of 30,000 people, most of whom are seniors, disabled individuals, veterans,
and children. HACSB is also very active in real estate development, resident self-sufficiency
support, and first-time homebuyer attainment.
There are currently 1,226 public/affordable housing units located within 16 cities
throughout the County. These units were developed and are maintained through funding
from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HACSB also oversees
9,021 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), commonly referred to as Section 8. Families in the
HCV Program pay approximately 30-40% of their income towards rent for a housing unit
CAPER
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)

County of San Bernardino
from a private landlord and the rest is subsidized through funding from HUD. HACSB
makes the monthly subsidy payment to the landlord on behalf of the household.
As a high performing and innovative agency, HACSB was designated as a Moving to Work
(MTW) Agency by HUD in 2008. As a result, HACSB was transformed by executing
innovative initiatives based on the three key MTW objectives: saving taxpayer dollars
through efficient work; helping our families achieve economic independence; and ensuring
a family’s freedom of housing choice. Currently, there are 39 Housing Authorities
participating in this designation out of 3,200 Housing Authorities nationwide.
Actions During the program year to address the needs of public housing
During the reporting year, the County worked closely with HACSB, as the goals and
objectives of the County and HACSB are closely related and coordinated through strategies
and programs. Strategies implemented were primarily through the Affordable Housing
Development Loan Program described in the Consolidated Plan.
With an aging public housing portfolio, HACSB is working on completely revitalizing two of
its largest and oldest public housing sites – Waterman Gardens in San Bernardino and
Valencia Grove in Redlands. Waterman Gardens currently has 242 affordable housing units
and will increase to 411 mixed income housing units as a result of the planned
revitalization. Valencia Grove, currently under construction, is increasing its unit count
from 115 affordable housing units to 228 mixed income housing units.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
Since 2001, HACSB’s Homeownership Assistance Program has helped guide interested
program participants through the process of buying a home including how to find an
appropriate mortgage lender. To date, 179 families have become homeowners through this
program. Since 2009, this program has received statewide recognition and ranks among
the top in creating new homeowners each year.
HACSB also receives grant funding through HUD for the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS)
Program to promote self-sufficiency activities for households in both the Public Housing
and Housing Choice Voucher Programs. As a family’s income rises, an escrow credit is
deposited into an interest bearing escrow account by the Housing Authority. If the family
successfully completes its FSS contract, the family receives the escrow funds that it can use
for any purpose, including paying educational expenses, starting a business or paying
debts.

HACSB’s Community Development Initiatives (CDI) Department works closely with
families, specifically those participating in the Five Year Lease Assistance Program and
Pilot “Work” Requirement, to assist them in reaching their personal and professional goals.
Staff connects and refers each family to supportive services and various economic mobility
resources throughout the County. Specifically, staff will work with adult household
members to: 1) assess individual strengths and barriers; 2) create a personalized education
and/or professional action plan; and 3) leverage and access existing resources including
HACSB’s Career and Technology Centers and job placement services at our various
affordable housing sites. Specific personal, educational and professional target areas
include:
Workforce Readiness/Attainment and Workshops: Interviewing, professional
etiquette, job search and retention skills, job advancement training, resume
development, and job recruitment fairs;
Education
Attainment:
GED/high
school
diploma
completion,
certification/vocational training, higher college education; and
Life Skills Workshops: time management, self-esteem, motivation, and financial
counseling (debt reduction, savings, banking services, etc.).
HACSB has expanded technology access to boost economic growth through its four Career
and Technology Centers that operate in partnership with other agencies and organizations.
The centers provide convenient access to technology and services that can help improve
jobs skills and further education. These Centers are located in San Bernardino (2
locations), Redlands, and Colton. In collaboration with non-profit providers, training and
workshops are offered to help individuals search for jobs, provide resume review and
editing, job interview coaching, career assessment exercises, education advancement, and
various workshops on computer programs. The computer labs and services are available to
families participating in HACSB’s housing programs.
Future actions will not be affected by current year activities unless funding levels fall to the
point that the HACSB finds it necessary to redesign or discontinue some of these activities.
Troubled Public Housing Authorities
Performance Evaluations - Public Housing Providers
Public Housing Authorities are evaluated by HUD’s Public Housing Assessment System
(PHAS) on their performance, annually or biennially. The frequency of performance
evaluations is determined by how well they have performed historically.
CAPER
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
24
County of San Bernardino
The PHAS system uses a maximum score of 100 points for public housing authorities.
Agencies that score 90 or higher are “High Performers,” while 60 to 89 are “Standard
Performers.” “Substandard Performers” scored at least 60 points overall and 60 points or
lower in one or more of other performance categories. An overall score of less than 60
points overall classifies a PHA as “Troubled.” 1
As a Moving to Work Demonstration site, HACSB is not subject to the traditional PHAS and
SEMAP scoring; however, HACSB is, per HUD standards, a “High Performer” agency.
Performance Evaluations – Housing Choice Voucher Providers
The performance of agencies that administer the HCV Program is assessed by HUD using a
14 factor Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP). An agency may
receive a maximum of 135 points. Scores or more than 121 points are “High Performers,”
scores from 81 to 120 points are “Standard Performers.” Any score or 80 or less is
considered a “Troubled” agency and the agency receives special scrutiny and oversight
from HUD. 2

In addition, this section collects information on the jurisdiction’s actions to address
impediments to fair housing choice, per 24 CFR 91.520(a).
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that
serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies
affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth
limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j);
91.320 (i)
As part of the County’s plan to reduce impediments identified in its Analysis of
Impediments (AI), CDH linked the Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB) with
County Consortium cities to meet and discuss fair housing zoning, planning, and land use
practices. IFHMB initiated a review process of city Zoning and General Plan ordinances
relative to potentially discriminatory practices and provided education on federal
regulations related to mental health, group homes, handicapped accessibility, or other civil
rights issues. As a part of the process of gauging progress toward addressing the
impediments to fair housing choice, the evaluation of regulations will occur on an ongoing
basis throughout the period covered by the current AI, and progress will be reported in
future CAPERs.
In addition, the County promoted the communication and coordination among local
governments and affordable housing developers with County HUD affordable housing
funds/loans. A Housing Roundtable, cosponsored by CDH and IFHMB, brought together
housing staff from cities within the County, CHDOs, and other affordable housing
developers. Key discussion topics included: 1) the future of affordable housing, 2) current
housing finance trends, 3) including input from the local community, and 4) the importance
of fair housing and incorporating accessibility into project design. Housing Roundtables

and the establishment of a Housing Collaborative in FY 2013-2014 has increased
awareness of obstacles and possible solutions to housing issues. IFHMB also holds fair
housing training programs several times per year in various communities.
No changes in future actions are planned as a result of the current year outcomes.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k);
91.320(j)
The County has experienced a number of significant obstacles in meeting the needs of its
underserved population. Needs went unmet or increased with the combined loss of
redevelopment monies in 2012-2013, reduced public funding and private investment, a
weak economy, and higher unemployment.
During the program year, limited resources and increased need brought about greater
collaboration among County departments. During FY 2013-2014, CDH continued to
collaborate with other County departments and non-profit organizations to maximize the
impact of all County grants funds. Examples included the following actions that were
carried out during the program year by CDH:
Participation in the local VASH 1,000 Homes Campaign;
Use of ESG funds with Shelter Plus Care through the Department of Behavioral
Health (DBH) and the Office of Homeless Services;
Use of Mental Health Subsidy Act (MHSA), HOME, NSP and former redevelopment
housing set aside funds for affordable housing activities; and
Continued collaboration with the Housing Authority of the County of San
Bernardino (HACSB).
Those collaborations included involvement with the County’s fair housing service provider,
IFHMB, and greater participation in the Continuum of Care processes and projects. In
addition, during the year the County maximized the use of Shelter Plus Care vouchers in
conjunction with ESG utility assistance to improve the success of those voucher recipients.
This process was underway at the end of the program year and will continue into the next
program year when an evaluation of performance occurs and is reported in the next
CAPER.
The results of this year will not alter future actions.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
During the program year, the County did not expend program funds to make homes leadfree because it operates no homeowner housing programs. One multi-family rehabilitation
project, constructed after 1978, was carried out during the year using HOME Program
funds, with no lead removal or abatement required.
Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino (CAPSBC), a non-profit agency, provided
lead-safe weatherization and lead hazard reduction services during the program year.
CAPSBC provided lead hazard reduction services to residents with children under six (6)
years old living in low to moderate income housing. During the program year, property
owners who rent housing units to low or moderate-income households with children under
six (6) years old may also use these services. These include single or multiple housing units
built before 1978.
CAPSBC is the only agency in the County that had funds specifically designated to address
lead-based paint hazards during the reporting period. These funds are not received from
the County’s CDBG funds.
The San Bernardino Department of Public Health operates a Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention (CLPP) Program as described below. No HUD Entitlement funds are used to
provide this service.
The mission of the program is to eliminate childhood lead poisoning by educating the
public, identifying and caring for lead burdened children, and preventing environmental
exposures to lead. Program staff are available to provide the following services at no cost to
clients: 3
Case management services by Public Health Nurses to include home visits,
counseling, assistance in identifying lead hazards in the home, referrals to WIC,
CHDP, and other appropriate resources.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The County’s ESG program, in collaboration with the Continuum of Care, coordinated its
funding and programs with other homeless provider agencies and mainstream housing and
service programs. Through case management assistance, such as counseling, addiction
rehabilitation programs, and other life training skills, the objective was for program
participants to increase their ability to find and retain employment and thus maintain
newly occupied assisted housing.
The County’s Department of Workforce Development (WDD) worked closely with CDH
through a Memorandom of Understanding to promote HUD Section 3 hiring for all of its
loan and grant programs as well as operating programs under the Department of Labor’s
Workforce Investment Act. Seven Section 3 firms were hired for projects and programs
funded by the County’s CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. There were no Section 3
employees hired during the program year by contractors for County HOME projects.
The San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) manages the programs
offered through WDD. SBWIB includes private business representatives and public sector

The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) assists its residents and
clients in their efforts to become as self-sufficient as possible. One of the main vehicles
used to help these individuals escape poverty is job skills counseling and training, which
can lead to employment. This is accomplished through a partnership with WDD. The
number of households who rose from poverty into employment during the program year
was 23.

Future actions are not expected to be changed unless the increasing use of technology is
delayed or the expected increase in efficiency does not occur. This will challenge an
already smaller staff to focus more attention on paper–based recordkeeping duties.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and
social service agencies 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The resources available are not adequate to meet all the social, housing, economic and
community needs of a county as large as San Bernardino. During the program year, the
County encouraged its departments, participating cities, and non-profit organizations to
collaborate and to leverage funds and programs wherever possible. Cooperation, joint
planning and implementation are necessary to ensure that vital services reach the County’s
residents. Examples of this coordination during the program year were County
participation in the Interagency Council on Homelessness, Homeless Partnership Network,
the Housing Collaborative, and Continuum of Care review panel. The collaboration
provided the opportunity to coordinate available resources and maximize the benefits to
residents requiring assistance.
The results of this year will not alter future actions.

County HOME and NSP funds were used to fund a
190-unit affordable housing community that was
approved by the Board of Supervisors on December
17, 2013. The development included a new
Bloomington Branch Library and community center.
The 13,993 square foot development will be built in
two phases. Phase one, which is projected to begin
construction in fall 2014, will consist of 70 units for
seniors, public library, and 2,200 square foot senior
community space. It also includes 36 family units,
2,625 square foot community center and classroom
facility. Phase two will consist of the remaining 84
family units. The housing project has leased one, two,
and three-bedroom units. The inclusion of units for
large families has also been a priority for the County.
In three projects, 90 three bedroom units for larger
families have been included. During the three year
period of the AI, the County has funded 186 low and
very low income rental units with HOME and NSP
funds.
Worked with consortium
cities to address the need for

Housing and Community Development (HCD). In
June of 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved a
General Plan amendment that encourages mixed use
development that would include dense, multi-family
residential development, as well as clustered, singlefamily development and other uses that provide
convenient shopping and employment opportunities.
The County adopted a Reasonable Accommodation in
Housing Development for Disabled Individuals
ordinance whose purpose is to “provide individuals
with disabilities reasonable accommodation in the
application of the county’s rules , policies, practices
and procedures, as necessary to ensure equal access
to housing.“ The adoption occurred in 2012-2013.
Contacted incorporated

California housing law, addressing reasonable
accommodations and adequate density to meet the
State of California’s appropriate zoning test.
Encouraged that local zoning
ordinances and building codes
address persons with
disabilities, group homes, and
higher density housing.
This area has been addressed in the County’s most
current housing element. The County has prepared a
proposed Development Code Amendment regarding

with recent court decisions affecting residential care
facilities. It is anticipated that the Development Code
Amendment will go to the Board of Supervisors for
approval in 2014.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Description of the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in
furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements
of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the
comprehensive planning requirements.
The County of San Bernardino has established procedures to ensure that its grant
programs and non-profit agencies comply with federal program requirements and County
policies, and meet local and national planning goals. Monitoring responsibilities for the
County’s CDBG, HOME, ESG, and fair housing programs are carried out by the staff
members responsible for administering each program. To ensure that all sub-recipients of
federal funds operate in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, activities of
each agency are systematically reviewed, as described below.
HOME Program
The County’s HOME program exclusively funds multifamily rental projects, including new
construction and rehabilitation. To ensure that all apartments built using HOME funds
continue to meet program requirements, the County of San Bernardino maintains a
spreadsheet listing all units and their date of last inspection. Each year, County staff
inspects 10-20% of all units, beginning with the desert districts (Districts 1 and 3) followed
by the mountain and urban districts (Districts 2, 4, and 5). Inspections include both an onsite examination of the unit’s physical condition using HUD’s Housing Quality Standard
checklist and a desk review to ensure files are complete and meet program specifications.
Following the inspection, the County issues a letter to the project’s owners identifying any
findings and deficiencies, and outlines a 30 to 60 day timeframe to address the issues and
undergo re-inspections. Once all deficiencies have been fixed, a final letter is issued. Section
CR-50 HOME 91.520(d) provides the detailed results of HOME inspections.
To facilitate their desk review and streamline HOME program monitoring, the County has
procured a comprehensive loan servicing and project monitoring database that will allow
managers of HOME units to enter rental rates, tenant incomes, and other related data for
tracking. Implementation of this system will begin in spring of 2015.
CDBG Program
To ensure compliance with CDBG regulations, the County evaluates and documents the
eligibility of all grant-funded activities, places under contract all sub-awards to qualified
and eligible subrecipients, and tracks the status of all sub-award contracts. The County
CAPER
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
38
County of San Bernardino
obtains monthly or quarterly progress reports and direct benefit reports covering all grant
funds expended to document that at least 51% of clients benefitted had low or moderate
incomes.
Like the HOME program, the County’s CDBG monitoring also includes desk reviews and onsite monitoring to evaluate the performance and contract compliance status of all
subrecipients, including cities, county departments, and non-profit community based
organizations (CBOs). Desk reviews check project financials, labor compliance, and
participation in the County’s LCP tracker. On-site monitoring inspects for key project
components during a site visit to the subject property or location where services are
provided. The project/service must be consistent with what was proposed in order to pass
inspection and ensure that local and national objectives are being met. Following
inspections, letters are issued with results. In cases where corrective actions are needed, a
3-month workout period is set, followed by a re-inspection.
Over the last program year, the County monitored all 12 participating cities and 12 CBO
sub-recipients. Concerns that were found consisted of missing an affirmative action policy,
central files not appropriately documented, and timeliness on construction projects. All
concerns have been addressed and follow-up monitoring visits will be conducted in the
spring of 2015 to verify that entities have continued to maintain required corrective
actions.
ESG Program
The County conducts on-site monitoring of its ESG service providers one time per contract
year. A pre-arranged date and time is set and service providers are given a Monitoring
Checksheet identifying what will be inspected. These inspections review service
performance; completeness of service provider files, client/beneficiary files, and contract
activity files; fiscal management and insurance; and, for emergency shelters, housing
quality. Results of on-site monitoring are recorded via a written report, a copy of which is
provided to the service provider.
Monitoring of claim reimbursements occur as they are submitted by subrecipients.
Reviews ensure that the agency is meeting the goals of the ESG program through
appropriate expenditure practices. Each reimbursement request must be accompanied by a
Claims Certification Checklist confirming that required steps have been taken and
appropriate procedures followed. Specific checklist items include, but are not limited to,
client reporting data, data input into HMIS, certification of homelessness or at-risk-ofhomelessness, and income verification or self-certification forms.
CAPER
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
39
County of San Bernardino
Six of the seven contracted service providers passed monitoring inspections with no
findings during FY 2013-2014. One provider required special handling, wherein
reimbursements were held until financial data and sufficient documentation was received
to instill confidence that program requirements were being met. Capacity building
assistance and additional time to get administrative practices and files in order were given
to allow the agency to meet compliance requirements.
Fair Housing Activities
The County contracts with Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB) to provide
fair housing services, including complaint investigation, fair housing education, and
publicity of fair housing issues. IFHMB provides an annual report detailing their activities
and how they addressed previously-identified barriers to fair housing choice. The County is
currently working with IFHMB to develop a reporting system that provides more specific
details about fair housing issues uncovered by IFHMB throughout the year.
Business Outreach
The County of San Bernardino has instilled an innovative system for encouraging business
development for its contractors and subcontractors, including MBE and WBE firms. Prior to
commencing work in the County of San Bernardino, all contractors and subcontractors
must register using the County’s LCP tracker program, which records MBE/WBE status and
race/ethnicity of employees, among other characteristics of the business.
Businesses are required to participate in a meeting with Community Development staff, the
County of San Bernardino Department of Workforce Development (WDD), and the Housing
Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB). The purpose of these meetings are
two-fold: first, to make contractors aware of Section 3 hiring assistance available through
HACSB, and second, to inform contractors of business development assistance available
through WDD. Businesses must certify participation in the program via LCP tracker to be in
compliance. Since this program’s inception this year, two hires have been made and two
contractors have explored business development programs offered through WDD.
Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Description of the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an
opportunity to comment on performance reports.
The County of San Bernardino’s Citizen Participation Plan meets HUD’s requirements

The County of San Bernardino has not made any major changes to the objectives of its

Provide an assessment of the jurisdiction's affirmative marketing actions for HOME
units. 92.351(b)
Affirmative Marketing Actions for HOME Program
Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing (AFHM) plans and affirmative marketing procedures
are required by the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program Final Rule (24 CFR
Part 92) and are included in applications for County of San Bernardino (County) HOME
funds. The County’s policy is to distribute information to the public regarding fair housing
laws, as well as its own guidelines for participation in the HOME Program. In accordance
with Federal Regulations (24 CFR 92.351), the County adopted an affirmative marketing
policy and procedures. The County is committed to equal opportunity in housing choices in
the local housing market without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, familial status, or disability. Community Housing Development Organizations
(CHDOs), developers and/or owners, of HOME Program funded projects containing five or
more units, must comply with the affirmative marketing requirements to receive
assistance. Affirmative marketing procedures must continue throughout the period of
affordability. The County is committed to affirmative marketing, which is implemented in
the HOME Program through a specific set of steps that the County and participating groups
follow.
Informing Affected Parties
The County will inform the public, potential tenants, potential homebuyers, and property
owners about Federal fair housing laws and the affirmative marketing policy using the
following items:
Equal Housing Opportunity logotype or slogan in press releases, news advisories,
solicitations for CHDOs, developers and/or owners and in all written
communications;
Advertising in print and electronic media that is used and viewed or listened to by
those identified as least likely to apply; and
Meetings to inform CHDOs, developers and/or owners regarding program
participants.
The County has established procedures to ensure that CHDOs, developers and/or owners
of rental housing developments assisted by the HOME Program solicit applications from
persons in the housing market area who are not likely to apply for the housing without
CAPER
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
48
County of San Bernardino
special outreach. The CHDOs, developers and/or owners will solicit applications through
such locations as community based organizations, places of worship, employment centers,
fair housing groups, or housing counseling agencies.
Evaluation
The County has established monitoring procedures to assure that each CHDO, developer
and/or owner of rental housing adheres to the established requirements and practices in
order to carry out the affirmative marketing procedure. The effectiveness of the County’s
affirmative marketing actions will be evaluated annually and the County will take
corrective actions if it finds that property owners fail to carry out required procedures. The
County will inform owners of the affirmative marketing requirements and ways to improve
current procedures. Owners who fail to meet the requirements or to make suggested
improvements will be disqualified from future participation in the HOME Program.
Labor Compliance
County provides “Labor Compliance Provisions” as an Attachment D to all construction bids
and executed construction contracts. An example of an Attachment D can be viewed at:
http://www.sbcountyadvantage.com/media/docs/CDH/CDBG/Bloomington/Attachment
%20D%20-%20Complete%20Rev%203-22-13(1).pdf
Contractors/subcontractors attest, on a required form, that they have an Affirmative Action
Program. If they do not, they agree to abide by the County’s Affirmative Action Program in
the County’s Attachment D of the bid package and/or the Labor Compliance Contract
Addendum of the construction contract.
Through LCP tracker (Labor Compliance software Program) the County maintains data on
the ethnicity, race and gender of the contractors/subcontractors that enter into
construction contracts with the County.
The County has formed partnerships with the Department of Workforce Development
(WDD) and the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) in order to
connect contractors with the employment services offered by the two agencies and provide
opportunities to county residents and businesses.
As part of the construction contract, contractors are mandated to meet with WDD and
HACSB to learn about the employment services they provide. Contractors are required to
submit a form signed by WDD and HACSB confirming that they met with the agencies.

11. Project Outcomes Data measured under the performance standards developed
in consultation with the CoC(s)
In consultation with the County of San Bernardino Continuum of Care, the County of San
Bernardino established a homeless partnership consisting of community and faith-based
organizations, educational institutions, non- profit organizations, private industry, and
federal, state, and local governments. The partnership committee seeks to establish a
network of service delivery to aid the homeless and those at-risk for homelessness through
coordination of services and resources, collaboration, communication, and planning. The
partnership seeks to continually develop and implement performance standards to
measure the effectiveness at targeting those who need the assistance most, reducing the
number of people living on the streets or emergency shelters; shortening the time people
spend homeless, and reducing each participant’s housing barriers or housing stability risks.
To this end, the partnership has formed a 10 year committee, beginning in 2008, with a 10
year strategy to end chronic homelessness. In addition to measuring performance related
to sheltering of the homeless, the plan also measures prevention, community integration,
outreach, and income and support services.
