Appendix A: Public Comments and City Responses

Public Review Period Written Comments Received – July 3, 2020 – July 15, 2020 The City received 2 Public Comments between July 3, 2020 and July 15, 2020.

1. Elisabeth Robledo: Email expressing support for investment in the community with regard to the issue of homeownership and incentives.

[City Response: The public comment has been considered and accepted.]

2. Christine Barker: Provided a verbal comment by voice mail, identifying herself as a resident of the City of Fresno, and requested that more funds be allocated to multi-family housing and owner-occupied mobile home rehabilitation, and fewer funds be allocated to single family home development and down payment assistance, and also expressed concern that not enough households will be served by the $3.5 million.

[City Response: The Permanent Local Housing Allocation requires that jurisdictions utilize a portion of PLHA funds for the development of Affordable Owner-Occupied Workforce Housing (AOWH). The City meets this requirement through Activity 2: Affordable Housing (Single-Family). The City previously offered a homebuyer assistance program utilizing State CalHome funding, which expired in April 2017. However, subsequent CalHome funding was granted specifically for Disaster Assistance to wildfire-affected areas. This activity is aligned with the Housing Element Program “Home Buyer Assistance.” The PLHA offers a new permanent source of funding which will allow the City to once again offer home buyer assistance programs. Upon re-evaluation of the methods for subsidizing the development of affordable single-family housing, the City has increased the goal for single family homes developed through PLHA funds from 4 to 8 per year. The public comment has been considered and accepted.]

Public Hearing Comments Received – August 20, 2020 The City received 3 Public Comments during its August 20, 2020 public hearing.

3. Michaela Bennett: Emailed a comment to the District 3 office which was attached for consideration during the Public Hearing, requested the development of a homeless outreach team, tiny house community for homeless veterans, suggested several sites for the development of homeless and low-income housing, and emphasized the need for a medical approach to homelessness to include all zip codes.

[City Response: The City recognizes the need for substantial funding for

Draft Permanent Local Housing Allocation 5-Year Plan

homeless and homelessness prevention initiatives, and is developing initiatives through other funding means for fiscal year 2021. Funding for homeless initiatives that has been programmed or will be programmed this year includes:

o $712,487 - 2020 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) for emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, and rapid rehousing

o $617,040 – 2020 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) for housing assistance and housing-related services for persons living with HIV/AIDS

o $711,789 – 2020 HOME Investment Partnerships for tenant-based rental and security deposit assistance for persons that are homeless or at risk of homelessness

o $92,574 – Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids – Coronavirus (HOPWA-CV) for housing assistance and housing related services for persons living with HIV/AIDS to prevent, prepare for, or respond to the Coronavirus

o $2,103,510 – Emergency Solutions Grant – Coronavirus (ESG-CV1) for the City of Fresno/County of Fresno Joint COVID-19 Homelessness Response Plan

o $3,105,244 – Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) provided to 10 community providers for homelessness services and programs after a citizen engagement process

o $1,012,869 – State COVID-19 funds for homelessness programming in partnership with the County of Fresno

o $8,845,443 – Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG-CV2) for homeless and homelessness prevention to prepare, prevent, or respond to the Coronavirus

o $6,158,246 – Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address their immediate homelessness challenges.

o $4,500,000 – CARES Act funds set aside for Homeless initiatives

In light of the many sources of funding available for homelessness initiatives, the City recommends the PLHA funds be used to primarily address issues of quality affordable housing and the encouragement of homeownership opportunities to build wealth. This funding will allow the City to address these critical contributing factors to homelessness with a permanent source of entitlement funding. The City is grateful to Ms. Bennett for collecting input directly from homeless individuals and presenting the affordable housing site suggestions which will be considered when assessing prospective applications for the development of affordable housing with PLHA funds. The public comment has been considered and accepted.]

4. Brandi Nuse-Villega: At the Public Hearing on August 20, 2020, Brandi Nuse-Villega expressed support for the PLHA 5-Year Plan for its focus on addressing affordable housing and homelessness solutions.

[City Response: The public comment has been considered and accepted.]

5. Sheng Xiong: At the Public Hearing on August 20, 2020, Sheng Xiong asked that the City require that the scope of work for those hired to implement PLHA programs include a means for members of the community to have a say in the development of the projects in order that those with the greatest need are made aware of the programs availability; stressed the importance of energy efficiency improvements and issues with homeowners being unable to repair roofs to update them for solar panels; and asked for the creation of an affordable housing trust fund.

[City Response: The City will encourage sub-award applicants to include public participation in the development of their programs and will include public participation in the scoring criteria for applications. The City requested applications for funding for rehabilitation programs including those that address energy efficiency in its 2020-2021 Consolidated NOFA for HUD entitlement funding. The City Council is expected to select the subrecipient applications for funding at the August 27, 2020 meeting of the City Council. Among the applications being considered are programs for roof and energy efficiency improvements. PLHA funds will be used to address unmet rehabilitation needs primarily for residents in housing that does not qualify for one of these current programs, such as mobile homes. The City agrees with the benefit that an affordable housing trust fund would provide, which would include the ability for the City to qualify for additional funding to develop affordable housing. To this end, the City has prepared a Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant application that includes funding for the development of a housing trust fund. Once a housing trust fund is established, the City will recommend an amendment to its PLHA plan to include funding of a housing trust fund if doing so will allow it to develop more affordable units. The public comment has been considered and accepted.]

PUBLIC NOTICE PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD AND PUBLIC HEARING FOR PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING

ALLOCATION 5-YEAR PLAN

The City of Fresno is the recipient of State of California entitlement funding through the Pennanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), created by California Senate Bill 2. The PLHA provides funding to local governments to administer eligible hOusing activities to benefit low- and moderate-income persons consistent with the local adopted Housing Element. The State requires the City to prepare a five-year Plan describing how the program funds will be allocated over the Plan timeframe to eligible activity types. The Plan outlines the median income of beneficiaries, the projected number of beneficiaries, and the period of affordability for the activity if applicable.
